Description

Set on a premium conservation lot in The Gardens at Dupree Lakes, this beautifully upgraded 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers rare privacy with no neighbors in front or behind, thanks to protected conservation areas both across the street and beyond the backyard. Surrounded by nature, residents regularly enjoy sightings of sandhill cranes, osprey, hawks, deer and an abundance of local wildlife, creating a peaceful, Florida-native setting that feels worlds away—yet remains close to everything. Inside, the home is thoughtfully designed for both comfort and function. The heart of the home is the spacious kitchen, featuring granite countertops, 42” cabinetry, and an oversized island with breakfast bar, opening seamlessly to a bright dining nook and expansive living room. Large windows across the back of the home showcase serene conservation views, while sliding glass doors lead to a covered and screened lanai and a fully vinyl-fenced backyard, ideal for outdoor living and entertaining. Curb appeal is enhanced by manicured landscaping, landscape lighting, and LED roofline lighting, while irrigation serves the front and side yards. French drains have been installed, and the property has no history of flooding. The downstairs owner’s retreat is generously sized and finished with elegant crown molding in both the bedroom and ensuite bath. The spa-like bathroom includes dual vanities, a soaking tub, separate shower, private water closet, and a large walk-in closet. Upstairs, a spacious loft provides flexible living or recreation space, along with four oversized bedrooms. Two share a Jack-and-Jill bath with separate vanity areas, and an additional full bath is conveniently located nearby. Major system upgrades provide peace of mind, including a lifetime roof with transferable warranty (installed January 2025), two HVAC systems (2018 & 2020) with smart thermostats, and a whole-house water softener and purification system. The kitchen is equipped with Google-enabled refrigerator and dishwasher, blending modern convenience with everyday efficiency. Dupree Lakes is a highly sought-after, amenity-rich community featuring a resort-style pool, beautiful clubhouse, lighted tennis courts, basketball courts, a soccer field, and playground, all with low HOA and low CDD fees. Zoned for well-rated Land O’ Lakes schools, the location also offers easy access to shopping, dining, major roadways, and medical facilities. A rare combination of privacy, nature, thoughtful upgrades, and community amenities—this home is truly something special.
