With clean architectural lines, an open layout, and mint-condition original features, this residence offers both character and comfort in a serene lakeside setting. Lush, private tropical landscaping frames the front of the home, creating a welcoming sense of arrival. Out back, a stunning 969-square-foot screened lanai overlooks tranquil Lake Flory, offering the perfect place to relax, entertain, or enjoy the calming water views. Inside, a spectacular open-concept living, family, and dining space flows seamlessly into the updated kitchen. The main living area showcases distinctive design details including a striking triangular fireplace, period-specific light fixtures, and a built-in wall aquarium that adds a unique architectural touch. The kitchen features a charming custom banquette with a newly upholstered seat—ideal for casual dining or morning coffee. The spacious primary suite enjoys beautiful water views and includes custom louvered closet doors with built-in drawers, along with an en-suite bathroom in pristine original condition. A second generously sized bedroom connects to another beautifully maintained vintage bathroom.

Designed for both comfort and convenience, the home includes custom remote-controlled electric roller shades, a Wi-Fi–enabled thermostat, speakers throughout, and multiple lighting options to create the perfect ambiance. The newly constructed lanai is not only expansive but also hurricane-rated to 160 mph. This outdoor living area features a cozy fireplace, a handcrafted broken-tile mosaic table and bar area, and built-in planters—perfect for gathering with friends or enjoying quiet evenings by the water. Additional highlights include a large laundry room, custom closet shelving, landscape lighting, a sprinkler system, a hurricane-impact front picture window, and hurricane shutters for the remainder of the home. Ideally located just minutes from the beach, the bridge, and nearby boat ramps, this home offers a unique blend of architectural character, thoughtful upgrades, and relaxed coastal living.
