Under contract-accepting backup offers. Tucked away on a quiet one-way street with a peaceful preserve as its backdrop, this beautifully updated home feels like a private retreat, yet sits in the heart of amenity-rich Highland Park. Thoughtfully updated by custom home builders, the home is light, bright and inviting, with extensive improvements throughout.

Sunshine fills the open living spaces, where the renovated kitchen features custom soft-close cabinetry, expanded-depth countertops for additional workspace, new appliances, abundant storage and an oversized wine refrigerator. Four-panel hurricane-rated sliders offer multiple opening configurations and can stack down to the width of a single panel, opening the living space beautifully to the outdoors.

One of the home's most significant upgrades is new hurricane-rated windows and exterior doors throughout, bringing together security, efficiency and the wonderful natural light that fills the home.

Outside is where Florida living really comes into its own. The screened outdoor space includes a comfortable lounge with TV, outdoor dining and sun-lounging areas, plus a full outdoor kitchen with its own wine refrigerator. The pool and spa feature a beach entry, grotto, waterfall and fountain, with gas plumbing already in place for a fire pit. Beyond is a large garden backing directly onto the preserve, with no rear neighbors and exceptional privacy.

Inside, the updates continue with new bathroom cabinetry, fixtures, countertops, sinks and lighting, plantation shutters, refreshed laundry room cabinetry and fixtures, a convenient drop zone from the garage, new lighting and door hardware throughout, updated stair railings, and fresh interior and exterior paint. A dedicated home office is located downstairs.

Upstairs, the movie room is made for relaxing, with a wet bar, new projector and plenty of space for a gym area. A 3-car tandem garage with overhead storage and excellent storage throughout the home add plenty of practicality.

Other important improvements include spray-foam insulation, regular HVAC maintenance, a new pool heater, new main pool pump and a separate new pump for the waterfall.

And the location is just as special. The park and lake are only 3 houses away, with the lake visible from the backyard. Highland Park has a wonderful community feel, with a clubhouse, multiple playgrounds, a fully equipped fitness center and resort-style pool with beach entry. Dining, a wine bar, salon and other conveniences are all within the community.

Quiet, private and surrounded by greenery, yet part of a friendly, active community with so much on the doorstep, this is a home made for Florida living, from sunny days by the pool to evenings outside overlooking the preserve.
