THE POOL IS IN. THE UPGRADES ARE DONE. THE BACKYARD IS READY. Why wait for new construction when this better-than-new Laureate Park South home is beautifully finished and ready to enjoy? This five-bedroom, three-and-one-half-bath Lake Nona home provides more than 3,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, custom details throughout and an exceptional indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The Craftsman-inspired exterior welcomes you with a paver driveway, covered front porch and two-car garage. Inside, luxury laminate flooring, charcoal gray doors, black hardware, designer lighting, custom wall treatments and fresh neutral finishes create a polished yet comfortable atmosphere. At the heart of the home is an open kitchen featuring taupe shaker-style cabinetry, quartz countertops and an oversized paneled island with seating. Upgrades include statement pendant lighting, stainless-steel appliances, a built-in oven and microwave, cooktop, chimney-style vent hood, pot filler, deep island sink with commercial-style faucet and a striking tile backsplash. A walk-in pantry with a contemporary frosted-glass door provides additional storage. The kitchen flows directly into the family room, where a custom slatted feature wall with integrated lighting creates a dramatic focal point. Large sliding glass doors open the main living space to the covered lanai and pool, making entertaining effortless. The adjacent dining area features custom wall molding and a modern statement chandelier. Four of the five bedrooms are located on the main level in a desirable split-bedroom arrangement. The private primary suite overlooks the pool and features designer wallpaper, statement lighting and two separate walk-in closets—both equipped with custom closet systems. The primary bathroom offers dual sinks, quartz countertops, modern fixtures, a freestanding soaking tub and an oversized frameless-glass shower with dimensional patterned tile, contrasting hexagon flooring, a built-in niche and multiple shower heads. Three additional bedrooms are positioned separately on the first floor. Two are currently arranged as a home office (with built-in desk and cabinets) and fitness room, demonstrating the flexibility of the floor plan. Upstairs, a massive bonus room offers space for a media room, game room or second living area. A generously sized fifth bedroom and nearby full bathroom create a private upstairs secondary suite. The outdoor living space is what truly sets this home apart. The expansive screened pool area is surrounded by beautiful travertine pavers with plenty of deck space for lounging, dining and entertaining. The pool features a wide sun shelf, entry steps and a raised water feature. Under the covered lanai, you’ll find a ceiling fan, mounted television and a finished outdoor serving area with cabinetry, counter space, sink and beverage refrigerator. Unlike many pool homes, the outdoor space continues beyond the screen enclosure. A well-maintained lawn provides room for pets and play, while layered tropical landscaping and a decorative privacy wall create a private backdrop. Located in sought-after Laureate Park South, this move-in-ready Lake Nona pool home offers convenient access in and out of the community, proximity to Luminary Middle School, access to Laureate Park amenities, including community pools, fitness facilities, parks, playgrounds and trails. Orlando International Airport, shopping, dining and entertainment are also conveniently nearby.
