Heated saltwater pool with waterfall. Four bedrooms. Screened lanai with prep sink. Gazebo, outdoor shower, and poolside flex room. Gated South Lakeland community. Nearly one-third acre. The backyard is the standout here. A heated saltwater pool with a tranquil waterfall anchors the screened lanai, complete with granite counters and a prep sink for easy outdoor entertaining. Beyond the pool cage, you'll find a gazebo, outdoor shower, and a poolside flex room with its own sink, all surrounded by mature landscaping on nearly one-third of an acre. Inside, soaring tray ceilings and three sets of French doors keep the pool and outdoor living spaces in view from the main living areas. The kitchen features solid wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, dual pantries, and a built-in wine cooler. The split-bedroom floor plan includes four bedrooms, with the fourth bedroom currently staged as a home office to showcase its flexibility for work-from-home needs, guests, or additional living space. The oversized primary suite is privately positioned on its own side of the home and features a fireplace, two walk-in closets, dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. Highlands Vista is a gated community of just 48 homes with generous lots and convenient access to the Polk Parkway, South Florida Avenue shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences.
