About This Property

Incredible price per square foot for what is currently the only lakefront pool home overlooking spring-fed and picturesque Banana Lake, in the Lakeside subdivision of sought-after guard-gated community of Heathrow. The home is comfortably situated on a small section bifurcated roadway that creates a park-like setting that also provides the peaceful lakefront setting. As a result of this wonderful design, a significant island longer than a football field that was created to buffer the homes on this small tributary separated from the main vehicle pathway. Over the years, it has been used by residents as a park, playground, recreation area, and literally anything else you can imagine. The home has been meticulously cared for over the years and offers a split floor plan with the sought-after kitchen-family room combination along with formal dining and living areas. The roof was replaced in only 2019, the HVAC was replaced in 2025, along with a brand new Garage Door opener with smart Phone capability, and a newer installed pool pump help to give you some “peace of mind” too! The updated kitchen includes newer updated quartz countertops, a backsplash that perfectly complements the Stainless Steel appliance package, striking white cabinetry and a multi-seat Breakfast Bar with a dinette area to start your day while enjoying the gorgeous lake views . The adjacent Family Room has beautiful large windows on the south wall so you can also enjoy the views of the lake perfectly complimented by a wood-burning fireplace for those chilly days or just for the ambiance if you desire. The screen-enclosed, self-cleaning pool and spillover spa are controlled by a Master Panel located in the primary bedroom for your ultimate convenience as you relax and enjoy the peaceful and serene setting. There remains the piping from the previous solar heating roof panels, which have since been replaced by a propane gas heater, so if you desire to convert back to or add a solar function, you’re already ahead of the game. The Dining Area has natural hardwood floors and is highlighted with beautiful millwork and wainscoting and helps to enhance those special gatherings. The hardwood continues from there to the Living Room and the generous Primary Bedroom that also enjoys glorious lake views. There is also direct pool access from the Primary, a large walk-in closet and an adjacent built-in across the hall corridor. Call today to schedule your private tour.
