Rarely available and absolutely spectacular, this award-winning luxury home within the exclusive gated enclave of Lakewood Retreat in Wilderness Lake Preserve is now available for lease — and for those who fall in love with it, also available for sale at $1,170,000 or through a lease-with-option-to-purchase arrangement. Three paths to make this extraordinary home yours. The former builder's model home and proud winner of the Parade of Homes Best House Award (2007), this stunning 4BR/4BA, 4,357 sq ft residence delivers an unparalleled living experience from the moment you walk through the grand double entry doors. Soaring ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, arched door details, designer color scheme, thick crown molding throughout, and an open-concept floor plan create an atmosphere of effortless elegance. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream — stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, center island with storage, wine storage, wall oven, dishwasher, breakfast bar, French door refrigerator, large pantry, and recessed lighting — all flowing into a breathtaking great room with coffered wood ceilings, custom built-ins, a cozy stone fireplace, and sliding glass doors to the covered lanai. Step outside to your private resort-style oasis featuring a fully screened saltwater pool, soothing spa, fire-pit area, outdoor grill, fully fenced backyard, and a renovated private Trex dock with stunning waterfront views. Whether it's morning yoga on the dock or evening entertaining poolside — this outdoor space delivers year-round Florida living at its absolute finest. The primary suite is a true retreat with deep tray ceilings, multiple built-out closets, a jetted soaking tub, oversized shower, dual vanities, and a private water closet. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath. Upstairs, a massive loft with built-in wet bar serves as the ultimate flex space — game room, media lounge, or home office. Additional highlights include: media room with surround sound, separate office, second flex office space, central vacuum system, main-level laundry room, safe deposit box, and window treatments throughout. The home comes partially furnished — select quality pieces are included to give you a head start, while leaving room to personalize the space as your own.
