DESCRIPTION

Have you ever wondered if the quaint and non-commercialized Old Florida from days gone by still exits, then you haven’t discovered this warm and friendly laid-back neighborhood on Lake Istokpoga near Henderson’s Fish Camp. This home is truly a fisherman’s dream come true as it is located on a lakefront canal and only a stone’s throw to open lake waters. As you enter this charming two bedroom, two bath pool home, you will be amazed by the transformation from the once fish camp cabin to the beautifully remodeled Key West style fishing retreat with an amenity list worthy of the discerning buyer. As you first enter through a beautiful beveled glass front door with matching sidelight you will immediately notice the warm and sophisticated color palette of the interior walls and ceiling. Picture yourself preparing food for friends and family gathered around the open living area in your entirely remodeled new state of the art kitchen with rich Cherry Bordeaux cabinetry, built in wine rack and top of the line stainless steel appliances. The counters are solid surface corian with coordinating tiled floors. Beyond the kitchen is a Florida room that is playful and fun with lime green walls and matching custom window treatments. Windows surround this room with views of the screened breezeway, pool area, waterway and dock. The fiberglass pool offers easy maintenance and the caged screened enclosure insures year round use. The master retreat has been enlarged and has a new spacious master bath with a Jacuzzi garden tub, oversized walk in shower with custom glass enclosure, bronze faucets, and a tall cherry Bordeaux vanity. The hall bathroom is also new and equally appointed. All furniture in the home and custom window treatments are included in the sale.

Now step outside and get ready for fishing time on the lake with all the extras any fisherman could desire. The 75’ dock runs the length of the property and has a cantilevered covered boat slip to protect your boat. At the opposite end of the dock enjoy a large covered area with a fish cleaning station or sit back and watch your neighbors in their boat come back with their catch of the day. The large 30x26 carport has plenty of space to park your boat when it out of the water and the attached 26x8 utility room offers storage for your golf cart and other toys. The backyard has a convenient small fenced area for pets. The view out your front door is a beautiful pasture extending to the shores of Lake Istokpoga.

This home is truly a memory maker that friends and family will talk about years from now with the wonderful times that had fishing and relaxing in the “Old Florida” setting!
