Under contract-accepting backup offers. SUNRISE MORNINGS POOLSIDE, QUIET EVENINGS ON YOUR PRIVATE DOCK AND BLACK LAKE IN YOUR BACKYARD. THIS IS FLORIDA LIVING THE WAY IT WAS MEANT TO BE. Set on a beautifully manicured corner lot in Heron Point at Sable Ridge, this former model home has been lovingly maintained by its original owner and spans 2,621 square feet with 5 bedrooms, 3 baths and a 3-car garage, all on one level. No CDD and no neighbor on one side add to the appeal. St. Augustine grass, tropical landscaping and Florida-friendly plantings create impressive curb appeal leading to a portico entrance. Glass entry doors with a sidelight and transom open to the foyer, where Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors introduce warmth throughout the living areas. The formal living room and dining room are complemented by the architectural character of a two-sided fireplace. The kitchen takes center stage, showcasing rich raised-panel cabinetry with crown molding and bottom rail, stainless pulls, granite countertops and backsplash, and a double stainless-steel sink. Nearly new appliances include a 3 month old French door refrigerator, smooth-top range with double oven, microwave and dishwasher, all less than 3 years old. An island with a raised breakfast bar extends toward the family room, creating a natural gathering spot and easy connection between the two spaces. The adjoining café is a destination of its own, where bay windows frame views of the lanai and pool. A deep pantry provides additional storage. Just beyond, the spacious family room opens directly to the outdoor living area.
Double doors introduce the spacious primary retreat with a sitting area, private lanai access and large walk-in closet. The ensuite bath features a double vanity, soaking tub, tiled walk-in shower with bench, private water closet and linen storage. The 3-way split-bedroom design provides flexibility and privacy. Two secondary bedrooms share a full bath, another features an ensuite bath with convenient pool access and the fifth bedroom, currently an office, is adjacent to the primary suite. Plantation shutters throughout add a polished finishing touch. Step outside to see what makes this home truly special. The covered lanai provides plenty of room for dining, and relaxing beneath the ceiling fans. The freeform chlorinated pool and elevated spillover spa create a resort-like centerpiece within the screened enclosure. The porch swing conveys, giving you the perfect place to sit back and enjoy the view. Beyond the pool, the fully fenced property unfolds into a lush lakefront setting with a manicured lawn, tropical landscaping, butterfly and bee-friendly plantings, sprinkler system and fire-pit seating area. Follow the gently sloping backyard toward peaceful Black Lake, where mature vegetation and abundant birdlife create a natural backdrop. At the water's edge, a NEW 2026 private dock creates the perfect place to fish, launch a kayak or simply sit back and enjoy the lake.
