Are you looking to buy a newly built home but don't have time to wait on the builder? This is your chance to own a 2021 Raychel model home built by Highland Homes, located in the beautiful community of The Lakes! This home has many upgrades that you will notice from the exterior design to the ceramic tile kitchen backsplash and waterproof laminate flooring that is found throughout the main living area. From the moment you arrive at the home, you will love the covered front porch surrounded by a beautiful flower garden that leads out to the spacious lot with upgraded sod and St Augustine grass. As you enter the main living area of the home you will be in the heart of the open floorplan, which is perfect for family time and entertaining. You will instantly notice the granite kitchen countertops and new Samsung “smart connected” appliances. On one side of the kitchen, you will find the indoor laundry room with a new Whirlpool washer & dryer and access to the attached two-car garage. Towards the rear of the home, you will find the dining area that leads out onto your covered patio and your large backyard that overlooks the nearby nature preserve. Back in the home, you will find the oversized owner's suite that features a walk-in shower, double sink vanity, and walk-in closet. The home has three other bedrooms off from the living area that can also be used as your office or in-home workout space. Another important feature that the home has is the built-in Taexx pest control system. The Lakes community is nestled beside the beautiful Mackay Gardens and Lakeside Preserve which offers 112 acres of nature & fitness trails, a playground, and a dock. The park also features many events such as astronomy nights, yoga, and gardening classes. Lake Alfred is conveniently located just 6 miles from I-4 giving you easy access to Orlando, Lakeland, and Tampa.
