Old Florida Charm Meets Modern Comfort in this rarely available 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath first-floor condo at the sought-after Carmel by the Lake. Spanning 1,578 square feet, this spacious end-unit offers a serene escape surrounded by lush wetlands and unmatched wildlife views-all while being just steps from everyday conveniences like shopping and restaurants. Step inside to an inviting open-concept layout flooded with natural light. The updated kitchen (2021) features stainless steel appliances, ample cabinet space, and a breakfast bar perfect for entertaining. The living area offers a glimpse of beautiful Lake Howell, while both full bathrooms were stylishly refreshed with Bathfitter upgrades in 2023. This gated lakefront community is rich with amenities: enjoy pickleball, tennis, racquetball, a pool, hot tub, clubhouse, private pier (under renovation with completion expected Feb 2026), on-site boat ramp, and even a butterfly garden and hidden beach trail. The monthly HOA fee covers nearly everything - including internet, cable, home phone, water, sewer, exterior insurance, additional storage, and your covered parking (1 additional parking space uncovered). Roof recently replaced, buildings have passed their structural inspections, and this unit includes washer/dryer, exterior storage, and a 7-month minimum rental option for those investors - looking for seasonal living or long-term investment. Whether you're relaxing with hawks overhead and owls calling at dusk, or fishing for bass in Lake Howell, this is the Casselberry lifestyle at its finest!
