524 OLD GROVE DRIVE

Description

Welcome to your new home on the water nestled in highly sought after Crystal Lakes Manors. This is a one Story 5 bedroom/ 3 full bathroom/ extra-large 2 car garage home with a large screen enclosure pool and additional lanai nook with jacuzzi. – not to mention a picturesque water view! The neighborhood itself is gated, and the gate is manned 24/7 by a guard so you can enjoy all of this beauty in a safe community. From the moment you enter the new paver Driveway and Walkway you will be in LOVE! Coming into the house, you will be greeted by the water view right from the front door! Split floor plan with open concept kitchen, family room and formal living room affords the benefit of privacy with ample entertaining space. The house is 2735 Sq. Ft. and it is all well used! The stunning kitchen is a chef’s delight. It is beautifully updated with leather-textured granite countertops, a Wolf convection steam oven and second Wi-Fi-enabled oven. The updated Bosch induction cooktop faces out of the kitchen from the custom Quartz Island/bar so you can cook and still host all of your favorite gatherings. This kitchen is spacious yet functional with plenty of storage below and large custom open shelves above made from center-cut Florida pine pulled from the trusses of the Biltmore Hotel. You won’t find a kitchen like this anywhere else. In this split floor plan, you have a generously sized master bedroom and guest suite on one side and the other three bedrooms on the other side of the home. The master bedroom is bright and airy thanks to the sliding glass door that leads to the lanai, jacuzzi and pool. The master bathroom has dual vanities with updated sinks, lights and mirrors. The walk-in closet is MASSIVE and will not leave you wanting for more space. The other bedroom on this side of the house is perfect for giving privacy to your guests with its own full bath. On the other side of the home are three more very spacious rooms (two of them have water views) and a beautiful, updated bathroom which also leads out to the pool deck. Once on the pool deck, you will enjoy a luxurious paver patio with a deep covered area, sparkling pool and clean Lanai with Panoramic Panels facing the water, for maximum enjoyment of the view. The updated pool and lanai compel you to spend many beautiful Florida days outside resting, hosting and eating with a view of the water and the mature trees. With a preserve across the water, you will see hawks, ibis, otter, deer, gator, turtles, even turkeys! You will not find a location like this for this price anywhere else! This neighborhood also has amazing water control with well-maintained storm sewers and connected ponds. This home particularly does amazingly well – the ground wasn’t even soggy after hurricane Milton. Between that and the block construction, you can enjoy peace of mind. One of the unique things about this neighborhood is how festive it is at Christmas time. There is a neighborhood wide party, and everyone lines the streets with luminaries. The party is complete with food stops along the way, crafts and Santa. It is the most well attended neighborhood event but there are more. Turkey trots at Thanksgiving, egg hunts at Easter, etc. Money truly cannot buy a community like this one.
