147 live oak

John's Lake direct frontage of more than 400 feet! Amazing property with panoramic views from the point, framed by granddaddy oaks, Bird of Paradise, azaleas, ginger and tons more natural plant life. The block home was solidly built and maintained over all the years including a new roof 2017. From the long driveway leading up to the front porch, through the solid wood front doors into the large entryway that greets you with Cuban tile, you can see all the styling and details from this mid-century home. From the moment you turn the corner, you can see out all the rear windows out onto Johns Lake. The family room opens to the dinette area just off the kitchen. As you wash dishes or cook, you can enjoy the otters playing on the shoreline, the cranes walking across the lawn, and the eagles and hawks flying overhead. There are handmade cherry cabinets, a 1.5-inch Brazilian Cherry countertop, and even a granite-topped baking center with built-in microwave (peek in the adjacent cabinet to see the pull up mixing stand!). The pot rack over the sink is functional and a good decorative accent; the upgraded gas range (dual fuel) is ready for all the cooking you want to do! The walk-in pantry is a perfect "safe room" but so well built it was even termed a "hurricane house" back in the 1960s when it was on the Parade of Homes! Whole house generator that powers the home, well, hot water heater, convenient to use with an automatic transfer switch! The larger dining room is also just off the kitchen and looks out onto the water. The huge patio is a perfect spot for your smokers, grills and entertaining area. The immediate rear yard has plenty of space, but the 1.43-acre parcel overall has tons of space to the side as well. (There have even been weddings on these grounds!) Back inside, the living room space is also a perfect area for a second den, home office, game room, a perfect flex room! There are 2 guest bedrooms with nice closet space and even a whole hallway of closets! Guest bathroom has a custom wood, live edge vanity top, vessel sink and shower. At the end of the hall is the master bedroom, which has sliding glass doors that lead out onto the 15x12 Florida room/office area. Work from home with the peaceful backdrop of the lake and landscaping. Walking around the property, you have a sense of old Florida with the massive trees, but located less than 2 minutes from the Turnpike entrance, this is an ideal location! Watch the rocket launches and Disney fireworks, lake views from most rooms of the home, along with dazzling sunrises and sunsets. A fisherman? This is a natural, 2,600-acre lake that has plenty of fish to find. Water sports? Grab your jet skis or ski boat and hit the lakes. Want to relax? Perfect spot for paddleboards, canoes and kayaks or a pontoon boat for some relaxing sightseeing. Whether you purchase this home as a primary residence or as a snowbird or even purchase it to build that dream home you have always wanted, this is truly an amazing spot - beyond private feeling, surrounded by nature, water, views and in a small, friendly community. 2 minutes to the Florida Turnpike, less than 30 to Orlando International Airport, Disney, Universal Studios and attractions, Florida and Millenia Mall plus less than 10 minutes to local shopping centers. Don't wait to visit this in person, but see the interior/drone video then come live on the point!
