Overlooking Stewart Lake and the 14th fairway, the residence combines the tranquility of a waterfront setting with the convenience of resort living just moments from the beach. Additional side windows unique to its corner location fill the home with natural light, while the absence of neighbors above or below creates the privacy and feel of a single-family residence. Inside, thoughtful renovations elevate every space. The open-concept living area features high ceilings, recessed lighting, tile and luxury vinyl plank flooring, and seamless flow between the kitchen, dining and living spaces. The renovated kitchen is designed for both entertaining and everyday enjoyment, offering quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a wine refrigerator and abundant storage. Updated bathrooms showcase quartz-topped vanities and beautifully tiled walk-in showers, continuing the home's polished coastal aesthetic.

A first-floor guest bedroom has direct access to a shared bath, while upstairs, the lakefront primary suite serves as a private retreat with a sitting area and a screened balcony overlooking the water. A second upstairs guest bedroom provides additional privacy, and dual screened balconies create inviting outdoor spaces for morning coffee, afternoon breezes and sunset views across the lake and fairway. Equally impressive is the extensive list of improvements already completed. A new roof, impact-rated windows and doors, and Hardie board siding were installed in 2022, followed by a new HVAC system in 2023 and a new water heater in 2026, allowing the next owner to focus on enjoying the property rather than updating it.
