Storybook Chic. Nestled among mature trees behind the gates at the Woodlands of Bent Tree, you'll find this lakefront pool home that has been very well maintained by the current owner since 2014. The home's unique curb appeal is provided by a combination of its two-story stature and brick construction on an oversized, wooded lot. The side load 2 car garage enhances the front facade and provides additional off-street guest parking. The owner has installed brand new luxury vinyl plank flooring on the first floor and the flooring upstairs is bamboo for easy care and long wear. The downstairs master bedroom with ensuite and walk in wardrobe is large and contains a cozy fireplace and additional bonus room that is currently used as an exercise room and could also be used as an office or nursery. The living room craftmanship includes dentil crown molding, fluted wood trim surrounding the center of focus marble fireplace and tall baseboards with rosette door casing and built-in bookcase. Warm earth tone colors throughout this home make for a relaxing warm vibe the moment you walk through the front door. There is an oversize expanded galley style kitchen with breakfast area, pantry and half bath nearby. The cream color kitchen cabinetry and stone countertops blend well with the stainless-steel appliances and new flooring. There is a separate sunken dining room, and the WOW Factor has to be the view from sliding glass doors looking out to the covered patio and screened pool and spa area then beyond to the peaceful lake view. It’s surprising that the home feels so light and bright inside with all the large shade trees in the yard. The homeowner has installed plantation shutters throughout the home to set the mood and control the natural light. The clothes washer and dryer are new (2022), There are two water heaters, one new in 2021 serves the home and another serves the master bath (2016) All kitchen appliances were upgraded by current owner.

There is an irrigation system for the yard. The pool and spa have an electric heat pump. Freshly painted inside and out by professionals. There is an invisible fence for dog owners. In a perfect world, the seller would like a quick closing and a Post-Closing Occupancy agreement until the end of the year when her new home construction is complete. The seller is optimistic about this but not adamant.
