Under contract-accepting backup offers. Come live the resort lifestyle with carefree maintenance in the beautiful and gated Carmel by the Lake community. This extra-large (1, 876 sq ft) 3 bed, 2 bath first-floor condo is all on one level and offers serene views of Howell Creek, towering oak trees, and the shady walking paths around the lovely grounds leading to Lake Howell (a large ski lake). Your designated covered parking spot with large lockable storage closet is just steps away from the front door. Use the private community boat ramp to spend hours of fun on the water. Stepping into this lovely home, youll immediately notice the upgrades and wide-open spaces: luxury vinyl wood plank flooring, a light and bright spacious kitchen with white cabinets and pass-through window to the even larger dining room. The generously appointed living room (14x22) with crown molding also has a handy dry bar area, perfect for display or wine/cocktail station. You wont be able to draw your eyes from the oversized glass sliders to the covered and screened lanai that faces east. Enjoy your morning coffee with peaceful views of the sunrise on your own private back porch. With a fantastic split bedroom plan, the expanded first floor layout offers a primary suite that is a retreat unto itself: two separate sink vanities, large walk-in closet, separate toilet and shower room, and even more closet and hanging space behind the custom mirrored built-in cabinets. This bedroom (12x16) with views of the towering oaks also offers access to the back lanai through glass sliders. On the opposite side of the home are two sizable bedrooms, the hallway full bath with tub/shower combo, the in-unit laundry closet, and a utility room with even more storage cabinets. Carmel by the Lake is like living in your own private gated resort with community pool, hot tub, tennis/pickleball court, clubhouse and lakeside walking paths. The monthly HOA is very comprehensive and offers a lot: high-speed internet, cable with over 200 channels, water, sewer, trash, grounds upkeep, building exterior maintenance, and community maintenance. Location is prime as you are just minutes away from many shopping options, restaurants, and major roadways for an easy commute to all that Central Florida has to offer.
