This impressive pool home is located in the desirable Sweetwater Oaks Subdivision in Longwood, Florida. Tucked away from the road and surrounded by lush tropical landscaping, this 3,496 sq. ft. 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers privacy and ample space for your family. The Great Room is the heart of the home, boasting a cathedral ceiling, floor-to-ceiling red brick wood-burning fireplace, and striking views of the expansive covered lanai and screened deep water pond-like Pebble Tec surfaced solar heated pool. The custom mahogany and wrought iron staircase, designed with a built-in entertainment center, leads to a versatile space, previously a whimsical young one’s playroom and now serving as a second professional office. The Primary Bedroom offers a serene retreat with bamboo floors, a sitting area, access to the lanai, and an ensuite bathroom with a jacuzzi garden tub, glass block shower, walk-in closet, and secondary closet. The dedicated Home Office provides a quiet workspace with French doors and features built-in shelves, custom interior arched windows, and has views of the Great Room, Foyer, and plant-rich front garden. The kitchen boasts a distinctive arched brick cooking nook, complemented by elegant granite and Corian countertops, rich maple wood cabinets, and custom-built baguette-style seating. The kitchen’s access to the covered and screened lanai creates the perfect space for entertaining guests and hosting events – like your next Super Bowl party! The 3 secondary bedrooms have access to a pool bathroom and a jack-and-jill bathroom. Two of the bedrooms provide access to their own outdoor paved areas. Close the pocket door in the hallway and the entire wing becomes private, making it ideal for a large family or guests. The home, which is carpet-free, includes 2 independent AC units and 2 water heaters supporting the split plan, maximizing its energy efficiency. The property features an extended driveway leading to a side-facing 2-car garage, providing ample parking options. Situated on a generous .55-acre lot, the home is positioned on a peaceful road near greenspace and free from traffic, making it safe for bike riders and dog walkers. Residents have access to a range of amenities provided by the homeowner’s association (HOA). Use the boat ramp at Sweetwater Beach to drop your watercraft into beautiful Lake Brantley, a spring-fed private ski lake, or just enjoy a swim, a game of beach volleyball, or host a birthday party in the pavilion. Launch or store your kayak/canoe at Sweetwater’s Riverbend Park and enjoy a scenic paddle down the Wekiva River. Reserve the newly renovated Sweetwater Clubhouse for private events and enjoy the lighted pickleball courts and tennis courts. Avoid the school car line and bike to nearby Sabal Point Elementary School with your young ones.
