Perfectly placed near the cul-de-sac in the guard-gated Hampton Park community of Gateway, this meticulously cared-for home delivers what buyers want most: an open great room concept, a premium south-facing backyard with sunlit lake views and a peaceful, private feel framed by low-maintenance tropical landscaping. A foyer entry welcomes you with a dedicated den and convenient half bath, then opens into a bright great room designed to capture the view. The kitchen is equally impressive, featuring solid wood cabinetry, granite countertops, a large island, and two pantries, plus high-end appliances including an induction cooktop, WiFi-enabled oven, upgraded French-door refrigerator, and Maytag dishwasher. The split-bedroom layout offers a spacious primary suite with soothing lake views and roomy bathroom with dual sinks, garden tub, glass walk-in shower, and a rainfall showerhead. Two guest bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath. You'll also appreciate the inside laundry with plenty of cabinetry and a sink. Outside is where this home truly shines-enjoy an outdoor kitchen and a recently refurbished gas grill (2025), plus an extended screened lanai spanning the rear of the home with upgraded privacy and no-see-um screens (2022)-ideal for morning coffee, entertaining, and taking in the southern exposure over the water. Pride of ownership continues with CitraBlue disease-resistant sod (2024), and the driveway/lanai being professionally sealed and power washed on a regular schedule. Major peace-of-mind improvements include an upgraded 4-ton HVAC blower with UV light system (2024) with regular professional servicing, full hurricane shutters plus a Storm Smart retractable lanai shutter, and a recently soft-washed roof (2025). The extended 4' garage is enhanced with a custom storage system. Community-wide Xfinity/Comcast fiber optics are being installed with a completion date in March 2026. Hampton Park residents enjoy a clubhouse, fitness center, resort-style pool, BBQ area, tennis, basketball, billiards, and more-while Gateway offers parks, trails and incredible convenience to dining, shopping, universities, Spring Training, RSW, and Gulf beaches.
