**View Video Tour and 3D Tour**Welcome home to the GATED LAKEFRONT community of Deer Island, offering 1+ acre homesites with panoramic views of Johns Lake and unrivaled privacy. Approaching this updated and meticulously maintained home, you'll appreciate the CUL-DE-SAC location and manicured landscaping before reaching the sprawling pavered driveway which leads to a side entry 3-car garage. As you move to the front porch you'll notice architectural shingles on a newer roof that compliments the brick facade, rain gutters, security and decorative lighting, all leading to an upgraded front entry with sidelights and transom window. As you enter the home, you'll be immediately impressed with the sweeping lake view through 3 oversized picture windows that compliment a flexible living space with a fireplace and access to the generously sized outdoor balcony. A formal dining area is thoughtfully located just off the kitchen with a minimalist industrial chandelier that compliments the foyer chandelier, sconces, and designer fan found in the main living areas. The spacious kitchen includes a large secretary's desk with showcase cabinetry, overszied center island with cooktop and downdraft ventilation, granite countertops, french door refrigerator, built-in oven and microwave, double basin sink, dishwasher, and dinette area with lake views and balcony access. An impressive master wing greets you through french doors, with cathedral ceilings, private balcony access and lakeviews through a sliding glass door. This home has storage space to accommodate the largest and most demanding households, and the master suite showcases this best with a giant walk-in closet, plus two additional closets and a linen closet in the ensuite bath. The master bathroom has dual vanities, a jacuzzi tub, water closet, and separate walk-in shower with mosaic floor and decorative wall tile. Rounding out the main living floor are two LARGE BEDROOMS which share a bath with dual vanities and tub-shower combo, plus a full-size laundry room with lots of counter space and a utility sink just off the garage. Moving down to the lake level, you'll be greeted by a sprawling great room that's an ENTERTAINER'S DREAM with second fireplace, full kitchenette with sink, beverage fridge, and microwave, plus crown molding, recessed lighting, a functional built-in, and four-panel stacking sliding doors leading to the fully screened and pavered porch. A large bedroom that could be used as a second master suite has two closets, lake views, and an ensuite bath with tub-shower combo that also works great as a second pool bath for busy days on the lake or pool parties. If you're a hobbyist, watersports enthusiast, collector, holiday decorator, or just have a ton of stuff, then you'll be thrilled to see the GIANT BONUS CLOSET located just off this second entertaining area. Before heading outside you'll find an additional full bathroom with walk-in shower, and a privately located 5th bedroom with full-size closet and backyard and lake views. Outside you'll find a pool with fountain water feature, auto-sweep, and NEW HEAT PUMP heater. Making your way down this spacious backyard, you'll find the lakefront is responsibly cleared to maximize the view and access, and a restored boat dock with Trex-style composite decking and 220v power has a boat slip and functions as the prefect platform for enjoying one of the most pristine freshwater ski lakes in Central Florida.
