Epic 5-Bedroom, 4-Bath Lakefront Retreat in Gated Lakewood Retreat of Wilderness Lake Preserve - Land O'Lakes, Florida. Imagine waking up to sunrise over the lake, stepping onto your private dock, and spending the day boating, fishing, or simply soaking in the peaceful views of the preserve. This stunning lakefront home sits on a pristine .41-acre lot in the exclusive, gated Lakewood Retreat neighborhood inside the award-winning Wilderness Lake Preserve--just 30 minutes north of Tampa. Step outside and experience true double-decker outdoor living: a massive screened lanai runs the full length of the house and is topped by a sweeping balcony overlooking the lake and wildlife preserve. Another private balcony, accessible from the loft recreation room and one bedroom, offers front-yard garden views. A newly rebuilt dock and meandering boardwalk lead straight from your huge, fenced backyard to your own waterfront oasis--perfect for sunbathing, entertaining, or launching the boat. With this much space, the backyard is ready for a resort-style pool, family soccer games, or lawn parties. Inside, the 5-bed, 4-bath floor plan is built for entertaining. A covered front porch welcomes you into formal living and dining rooms plus a spacious great room with a wall of disappearing glass sliders that open the entire space to the lanai. The heart of the home is the completely remodeled kitchen featuring granite counters, a full appliance package, a cozy dining nook, and brand-new high-quality wood cabinets. Upstairs, the luxurious owner's suite includes private balcony access, a spa-like ensuite bath, and a versatile offshoot room ideal for a reading nook, gym, home office, or nursery. A convenient downstairs guest bedroom and bath (pre-plumbed for a future pool bath) complete the flexible layout. Impressive upgrades throughout include a built-in vacuum system, 3-car garage with brick paver driveway, upstairs laundry, multiple balconies, large loft recreation room, and fresh remodeling in the kitchen and owner's bath. Enjoy the best of both worlds in Land O'Lakes: a relaxed country lifestyle with A-rated schools and an easy commute to Tampa. As a WLP resident, you also have full access to the Wilderness Lake Lodge recreation center--fishing dock with boats, hot tub, splash pad, lagoon and heated lap pools, saunas, state-of-the-art gym, movie theater, pickleball, tennis/basketball/sand volleyball courts, parks, playgrounds, nature center, party room, and year-round events. This is more than a house--it's your private lakefront lifestyle. Don't miss it. Buy this amazing home before somebody else does.
