Property Description
PRICE IMPROVEMENT! Escape to a slice of Florida paradise with this rare lakefront gem on Lake Istokpoga! Nestled in the serene community of Lorida, just outside Sebring, this charming home offers a peaceful retreat off the beaten path. Imagine waking up to breathtaking canal views, vibrant sunsets, and the gentle sounds of nature—all on a spacious ½ acre lot that provides endless room for family fun, outdoor adventures, and creating lifelong memories. This beloved family haven, cherished for generations as a seasonal residence, combines nostalgia and pride of ownership. It's been meticulously maintained, blending timeless warmth with modern updates to ensure it's ready for your next chapter. Fully furnished and thoughtfully designed, the 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout features a split floor plan for privacy, an open kitchen/dining/living room combo ideal for gathering loved ones, and an elegant entryway crowned by a gorgeous chandelier that welcomes you into this lakeside sanctuary. The master suite is a true retreat, boasting a huge bedroom, tiled shower, granite counter, separate powder room with sink, and a unique through-closet for abundant storage. Two additional spacious bedrooms share an updated full bathroom with sleek tile and granite finishes. Cozy up on cooler evenings by the wood-burning fireplace, or step out to the huge extended and covered lanai—your front-row seat to mesmerizing canal views and unforgettable sunsets. Backing directly to the canal, you're just minutes from the open waters of Lake Istokpoga, with prime lake access for boating, fishing, and endless water adventures. Grab the included fishing poles and launch from your private boat dock, freshly updated with a new roof and composite decking in 2024, plus convenient water and electric hookups. The massive yard offers plenty of space for barbecues, games, or simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings. Recent upgrades ensure worry-free living: roof and water heater replaced in 2019, irrigation pump in 2024, a 2-car garage brimming with storage, and an additional 2-car carport. This isn't just a home—it's a legacy of joy, laughter, and connection to nature. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, vacation escape, or family gathering spot, this property invites you to make memories that last a lifetime.
