About this home
Welcome to this exceptional custom-built residence by Ernie White Construction, ideally situated in the exclusive gated 55+ community of Lake James—one of North Lakeland’s most sought-after developments. This two-bedroom plus office, two-bathroom home offers timeless craftsmanship, elegant upgrades, and a refined sense of comfort throughout. Formerly the model home and a Parade of Homes award winner, it was designed to impress from every angle, blending architectural detail with modern sophistication.  As you arrive, the paver driveway, stone-clad entry, and three-car garage set the tone for the quality within. The home’s attractive façade and manicured landscaping create striking curb appeal, while the peaceful and private backdrop enhances its serene setting.  Inside, you’ll find a home that is both luxurious and livable. Recent updates—including all-new engineered hardwood flooring, fresh exterior paint, brand new plantation shutters, and new designer light fixtures—bring a fresh, modern elegance to every room. The open layout is thoughtfully designed for both entertaining and everyday living, with a seamless flow between the living, dining, and kitchen areas.  The chef’s kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful, featuring granite countertops, solid wood cabinetry, a two-tiered breakfast bar, updated stainless steel appliances, a spacious closet pantry and a butler's pantry. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, this kitchen is the perfect centerpiece of the home.  Sophisticated architectural details abound—from crown molding and arched windows to oversized baseboards, wainscoting, and decorative millwork. The three-panel sliding glass door opens wide to the screened-in and covered patio, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor living experience. From here, enjoy tranquil views —a private and picturesque retreat right in your backyard.  A set of glass-panel French doors leads into the dedicated home office, providing a bright and versatile workspace that maintains privacy without sacrificing natural light.  The primary suite is a spacious haven featuring a large walk-in closet and an elegant en suite bathroom with dual vanities, solid-surface counters, and a walk-in shower with frameless glass. The secondary bedroom is accompanied by a beautifully maintained second bathroom, perfect for guests or family.  Every inch of this property showcases exceptional design and superior craftsmanship. The attention to detail—from the flooring to the fixtures—reflects the quality synonymous with the builder’s reputation.  Residents of Lake James, an active 55+ community, enjoy a private gated entrance, a beautiful pool, clubhouse, fitness center, and walking paths around the community. The neighborhood’s tranquil atmosphere and convenient access to shopping, dining, and medical facilities make it one of Lakeland’s premier communities.  This home represents a rare opportunity to own an award-winning residence where custom design, elegant updates, and peaceful surroundings come together in perfect harmony. Don’t miss your chance to experience the craftsmanship, comfort, and prestige that define life in Lake James.
