This Arthur Rutenberg Manchester III-designed home offers a classic architectural foundation with a prime lakefront location. The original owners have thoughtfully expanded and enhanced the home, creating a spacious house with a focus on showcasing the lake and natural community beauty. Light and bright with 10' ceilings, sliding panels of glass & bay windows, the floorplan seamlessly blends the living, dining & family rooms creating an inviting atmosphere for entertaining or relaxation. The Heart of the Home features a well-appointed kitchen with maple cabinets, granite countertops and a built-in dry bar that flows into the glass-framed family room and cafe area. The owner's retreat features a lake-front view through the glass sliders, two closets & ensuite bath with 6 ft. soaker tub, walk-in double shower, two linen closets and dual sinks. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath on the other side of the home providing privacy and comfort. An office/den/flex room is adjacent to the half-bath and can easily be used as a 4th bedroom. The lanai area was enlarged and screened to provide a private oasis on water's edge. A large undercover area can be accessed by 3 sets of glass sliders creating an indoor/outdoor flow of enjoyment. A sparking pool/spa & outdoor kitchen is the ideal setting for alfresco dining and relaxation. An airconditioned 3rd full bath at poolside provides additional convenience & safety. Stoneybrook Golf & Country Club is a gated and membership-driven community offering an 18-hole championship golf course and practice facilities. Currently under renovation as designed by Kipp Schultes, completion is planned for November 2024.

Tennis & Pickleball courts, a community lap pool & spa, fitness center, bocce court, sharing library, biking/walking trails and fishing provides endless opportunities to enjoy this unique 165 acre Florida oasis.
