AMAZING CUSTOM HOME in “Highlands by the Lake.” They thought of absolutely everything with this home. The comfortable great room floorplan boasts an elegant first-floor master suite and office/study (or 5th bedroom as there is a full closet). Separate formal dining room, island kitchen features a gas(propane cooktop), wall oven & microwave, island prep sink, and more adjacent to the breakfast/dinette eating area. High-quality wood cabinetry, porcelain tile, and Italian hardwood flooring throughout the first floor. Ascend upstairs, taking notice of the custom iron stairway rails and ironwork, which repeats itself in the loft rail system and other iron accents all around you. The large loft/game room overlooks the great room below, with three (3) spacious bedrooms and two (2) full bathrooms.

Additionally, a second “secret hideaway” can be used in various ways, so let your imagination take over. The separate utility/laundry room sports a large utility sink and more cabinets for storage. The oversized three (3) car side-loading garage encompasses nearly the same space as a four (4) car garage, so there is plenty of room for life’s extras. The backyard is DIVINE with its custom Gazebo/Pergola ensconced by brick pavers. It leads to the screen-enclosed lanai. Many fruit-bearing trees and a 12′ tall hedge are all around for privacy. It’s truly an oasis in your backyard. The community of Highlands by the Lake features a large clubhouse, pool, changing/bathrooms, two tennis courts, and an overflow parking lot. This is genuinely one of SE Lakeland’s long-time favorite communities partly due to its proximity to the public (County-Owned) park and a boat ramp to Banana Lake for boating, skiing, jet skiing, and fishing pleasure.
