East Lake Woodlands is a premier gated community with opportunity to join the golf club, racquet/tennis club, swim club, restaurants and so much more. Reminiscent of a loft apartment in a big city, the entry and one car garage are on the first floor and stairs lead to an impressive open floor plan on the second floor. A beautifully appointed kitchen featuring HGTV sized island with solid surface counters and tons of extra storage, plus seating for 3 or more on one end. A brand new LG range joins the other stainless steel appliances and an abundance of custom wood cabinets provide plenty of storage, including triple pantry cabinets, some with pull-out drawers and a Lazy Susan in one corner cabinet. To the left is a 14 ft wide by 26 foot long family room/bonus space. Just imagine the possibilities! Right of the kitchen is the great room with dining and living rooms, accentuated by the wood burning fireplace. I mesmerizing view of the pond and water fountain draw you to the covered and screen enclosed lanai where you can sit for hours, just relaxing or sharing time alone or with friends. The large primary suite also has sliding doors to the lanai, offering the privacy and serenity. The ensuite primary bathroom boasts a large walk-in closet, separate spa tub and shower, dual sinks and a private water closet. A convenient washer/dryer closet is located in a hallway that leads to the second bedroom and second bathroom, which has a tub/shower combination. This home is in X500 flood zone (high).
