Welcome to this move-in-ready home with privacy, lifestyle and location. 8041 Margate Way offers the rare combination of luxury, privacy, space and convenience in one of North Lakeland’s most sought-after locations. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in desirable Sherwood Forest, this custom-built four-bedroom, three-bath residence sits on an oversized 1.5-acre homesite backing directly to protected conservation, creating an exceptionally private setting with no rear neighbors. From the moment you arrive, meticulous curb appeal and mint condition make it clear there is nothing lacking here. Completely move-in ready, the home features a new architectural roof (2024), three new Carrier A/C systems (2024), fresh interior and exterior paint (2024) and premium new flooring throughout (2024).
