Welcome to the sought-after 55+ gated community of Lake James in North Lakeland, where every day feels like a retreat. This spectacular one-owner home is a true gem, offering the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and just the right amount of “wow” factor. Conveniently located near the community entrance, you’ll enjoy being only a short stroll away from the community mailbox, sparkling heated pool, and clubhouse—yes, getting your mail and then taking a refreshing swim could easily become your new routine! This “like-new, move-in-ready” home features 2 beds, 2 full baths, and an attached 2-car garage. The exterior has been freshly painted, and the garage floor now sparkles with a professional epoxy finish that just might make you smile every time you pull in. The landscaping has been meticulously cared for and kept lush with a multi-zoned sprinkler system, and the front entry and rear patio have been sealed for a crisp, clean finish. Step into the backyard retreat and you’ll find a large screened patio overlooking a peaceful pond and paved walking path—perfect for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or simply enjoying the Florida sunsets without any pesky mosquitoes. Inside, this former model home is brimming with thoughtful upgrades. Crown molding, tray ceilings, plant shelves, and built-ins create an elegant yet inviting atmosphere. The kitchen is a dream for anyone who loves to cook—or simply enjoys a beautiful kitchen—with granite countertops making the home feel bright and cheerful, ample cabinet space, newer appliances, and even a little extra storage in the laundry room just off the kitchen. Whether you’re whipping up a gourmet dinner or simply reheating last night’s leftovers, this kitchen makes everything look good. The seller has gone above and beyond to prepare this home for its next owner. Updates include a brand-new architectural shingled roof that is less than a year old, fresh interior and exterior paint, updated toilets in both bathrooms, and a recently replaced water heater. The garage floor has been upgraded with an epoxy finish, the front entry and patio have been sealed for durability, and the HVAC system is newer and has been serviced regularly. The entire interior has also been professionally cleaned from top to bottom, so it’s truly ready for you to move right in without lifting a finger. Lake James itself is more than just a neighborhood, it’s a lifestyle. The community takes care of lawn maintenance, lawn spraying, cable, and internet, freeing you from chores and giving you more time to enjoy the good life. The resort-style clubhouse features a heated pool, fitness center, and plenty of space to socialize with friends and neighbors. A paved walking trail winds through the community, giving you the perfect excuse to get your steps in while catching up on the latest neighborhood news. Beyond the gates of Lake James, you’ll love how convenient the location is. Shopping, dining, and recreational opportunities are all nearby, and with easy access to I-4, you can be in Tampa, Orlando, or even one of four nearby airports within reach making travel a breeze. Of course, you may find yourself so content here that you rarely want to leave! This home is truly a rare find—a perfect balance of low-maintenance living, stylish upgrades, and a welcoming community atmosphere. Schedule your private showing today and come see why this is more than just a house—it’s your next chapter waiting to be written.
