$100,000 PRICE REDUCTION - MAGNIFICENCE IN MISTY CREEK – PRIVACY, SHADE & SPACE – A RARE COMMODITY THESE DAYS! Welcome to 8717 MISTY CREEK DRIVE! This 3700+ sf, 4 BEDROOM, 3.5 BATH, WATERFRONT, POOL HOME is nestled in The Preserve at Misty Creek. Set on TWO-THIRDS OF AN ACRE, tucked away within a CUL-DE-SAC at the coveted north end of Misty Creek, this home is, arguably, one of the best lots in all of Misty Creek and is in the X FLOOD ZONE, NO FLOOD INSURANCE REQUIRED. Arthur Rutenberg, known for his exceptional quality construction, personally designed and built the home and showcased it in the Parade of Homes. With a WESTERN FACING BACKYARD, you’ll enjoy SWEEPING VIEWS OF THE SPRING-FED LAKE teeming with life. A preserve provides the lush, green backdrop to the lake – great for viewing birds, wildlife or taking in one of our MESMERIZING FLORIDA SUNSETS - all from the privacy of your heated pool, spa, outdoor deck or backyard swing! Combining the elements of spaciousness, soaring ceilings, contemporary lines, and warm tones, this home exudes an eclectic vibe you’re going to love! The 3,720 SF OF LIVING SPACE includes a split floor plan with 4 BEDROOMS, 3.5 BATHROOMS, an office or den with an ensuite bathroom and built-in closet that could be used as a 5th bedroom if needed. The large living room has a WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE, built-in shelving, a wet bar with mini-fridge and opens to an amazing kitchen. The GOURMET-INSPIRED KITCHEN with custom cabinetry has an island with a butcher block countertop, a built-in warming drawer and a custom-made breakfast bar with seating for 3-4. The pass-through windows to the lanai are a wonderful transition to the outdoor space. A stand-alone built-in lighted curio cabinet provides nice separation to the formal dining room. The bonus room has sliders that open to the lanai. Large transom windows let in NATURAL LIGHT to keep this home bright throughout the day. The expansive caged-in pool area embraces what living the Florida lifestyle is all about – extending living space to the outdoors! You’ll find a BUILT-IN OUTDOOR KITCHEN and your SPARKLING HEATED POOL & SPA, both heated quickly with a propane gas heater. Lots of covered area gives you an OUTDOOR LIVING ROOM & DINING ROOM! For your fur babies, sellers have installed an INVISIBLE ELECTRIC PET FENCE. There are so many reasons to love this home – be sure to ask for the list of highlights and improvements. It's an exciting time in Misty Creek as the Misty Creek Country Club is currently closed for renovations and the new improved club is expected to open in the fall!
