About this home
Welcome to your private waterfront retreat in Lake Caroline—where modern upgrades meet serene lakefront living on one of the community's most desirable lots. Situated on more than half an acre, this turnkey home offers breathtaking 180-degree panoramic lake views, deep water access, and a lifestyle that feels like a permanent vacation. A long paved driveway leads to the attached two-car garage, with ample additional parking for guests, boats, and recreational vehicles. Professionally landscaped grounds surround the home, featuring extensive irrigation and a fully fenced backyard designed for both privacy and enjoyment.
Inside, you'll find extensive updates throughout both levels, including remodeled bathrooms, updated flooring, newer kitchen appliances, a 2024 HVAC system, 2022 water heater, and a whole-house water filtration system installed in 2025. Four large bay windows fill the home with natural light while showcasing spectacular water views from multiple rooms.
The main level offers comfortable living spaces and access to an elevated three-season porch overlooking the lake. The primary suite features its own private balcony, creating the perfect place to enjoy morning sunrises. Two gas fireplaces provide warmth and ambiance on both levels.
The finished lower level is ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or entertaining, featuring a spacious family room, large bedroom, full bath, kitchenette, two bonus rooms (one currently used as a fourth bedroom), and additional storage space.
Outdoor living is exceptional with an oversized lakeside deck, expansive lawn, attached storage shed, and private deep-water dock ready for boating, fishing, swimming, and endless lake adventures. Active lawn care and HVAC service contracts will convey to the new owner.
