Property Description

Graceful architecture and refined updates come together in this beautifully appointed 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence where soaring ceilings, elegant finishes, and thoughtfully designed living spaces create an atmosphere of comfort and sophistication. A striking columned entry welcomes you inside to light-filled interiors and an open layout designed for both relaxed living and stylish entertaining. The formal dining area flows seamlessly into the main living space, enhanced by custom plantation shutters and abundant natural light. At the heart of the home, the newly redesigned chef's kitchen (2026) features sleek cabinetry, dramatic stone surfaces, modern appliances and a hidden walk-in pantry with a dedicated appliance station, offering exceptional storage while keeping the main kitchen clean and uncluttered. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, complete with spacious walk-in closets and a luxurious bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for guests and family. In addition to the three bedrooms, the home features a versatile flex space currently used as a display room, offering endless possibilities as a home office, hobby studio, library, or private retreat. Thoughtful updates add both style and peace of mind, including a new roof (2022), plantation shutters (2022), exterior hurricane shutters (2024), and an updated guest bathroom shower (2025). Beautifully maintained and truly move-in ready, this residence blends timeless elegance with modern updates. The expanded enclosed patio, creates a bright Florida room surrounded by windows and privacy panels. Finished with tile flooring and cooled by an oversized ceiling fan, this inviting space provides the perfect setting for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying peaceful indoor-outdoor living. Set on a corner lot in the beautifully-manicured, gated community of Lake Forest. Residents enjoy some of the lowest association dues in the desirable St. Lucie West area, which include lawn maintenance along with cable and internet for added convenience and value.
