Location says it all! On the edge of Windermere, this gated community remains one of the most popular communities in the area. With neighborhood access to Thornebrooke Elementary and Freedom Park, this family-oriented community is sure to please. A basketball court, playground and fishing dock on Lake Fernwood add to the appeal. On a private site, enjoy your morning coffee on the covered lanai, an evening barbecue, or a dip in the pool while mesmerized by the beauty of nature. With plenty of room to roam, the open floor plan of this well-maintained 5-bedroom / 4-bath home with a NEWER TILE ROOF is sure to impress. A spacious office or workout room could double as a formal living room, while the formal dining is the perfect venue for family gatherings. An elegant open kitchen, overlooking the family room, offers 42” cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and an island to make room for everyone to help the cook. When the day is done, retire to the first-floor master suite, which offers a spacious bath and walk-in closet. A second bedroom with a full bath downstairs will spoil your overnight guests. The split staircase will lead you to a huge (I mean huge, 28×17) bonus room with plenty of space for a foosball table plus a media center. As if that’s not enough, a tech area is the perfect space for homework or a craft station! A Jack & Jill bath connects two large bedrooms, and the 5th bedroom with a private bath is the perfect haven for the teenager in your life. The functionality of this home is only outdone by the tranquility and serenity of this gem. Welcome Home!
