Welcome to the highly desirable, gated, Longwood Oaks! This is a rare opportunity, indeed, as homes are rarely available here. There is room for everyone in this spacious, updated, custom-built home. Located deep into a gated neighborhood on a cul-de-sac you will find a peaceful retreat surrounded by custom homes on large lots. This home will suit just about anyone and is well prepared for entertaining. A large kitchen with expansive island, two-tone cabinetry and stone counters keeps the chef involved in the gathering and makes meal prep a breeze with top of the line appliances. A coffered ceiling in the family room adds a touch of elegance and warmth to a comfortable space that overlooks the pool area. This home offers a split bedroom plan, with the master suite on the first level, featuring a walk in closet to accommodate any fashionista. There is also a second en-suite bedroom with full bath and direct access to the pool area. When entertaining, or just relaxing, the bar area will prove itself a popular space. Upstairs you will find a large space that offers many options: office, game room, bedroom, media room or exercise room. Outside you will find several options to spend your leisure time. The screen enclosed pool and sitting area offer a great spot to relax and cool off, with a dedicated pool-bath for convenience. There is an expansive side-yard with an open, pavered patio where you can bask in the sunshine or spend some time grilling your favorite meal. A large circular driveway and side drive allow for parking for a dozen vehicles, plus the side-facing garage. This location has so much to offer! Inside the gated community are ponds, small parks and a neighborly feel. Nearby are shopping opportunities, excellent schools and Lakeland Regional Airport.
