Welcome home! This waterfront property boasts 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms - the perfect large family or multigenerational home - with direct connection to the Alligator Chain of Lakes through the community boat lift for a luxurious lakefront lifestyle that places relaxing, boating, and fishing fun right at your doorstep. Modern finishes, smart home features, and a prime location on a quiet dead-end street position it as an ideal retreat for those seeking the lakefront lifestyle. The open family room and chef's kitchen anchor the home's interior, with a large island, breakfast bar seating, quartz waterfall countertop, stainless steel appliances, self-cleaning double wall oven, farm sink, pantry closet, and 42-inch upper cabinets providing serious cooking capabilities for all occasions, with a quaint canal view. Smart features add a layer of 21st-century functionality to this home, with the garage door, thermostats, Eufy security system, and double wall oven being Wi-Fi connected and controllable whether you are home or away. Although these seem like small things, the little things make such a difference when life never seems to slow down. The app for the oven is the seller’s personal favorite because you can set the temperature ahead of time, so it is ready as soon as you walk in. The features don’t stop there. Recessed lighting illuminates the main areas, where cohesive and durable tile creates visual continuity from the entry foyer to the family room. The cohesiveness continues throughout the home, with all bedrooms featuring plush carpet, offering warmth and comfort in the private quarters, while all bathrooms include matching quartz countertops that perfectly complement the kitchen. Whether it is a morning coffee, a lazy Sunday, or quality time, the relaxing canal view can be enjoyed from the screened patio, family room, or even your bed in the primary suite. Air-conditioned storage is another plus of this home, with several large closets throughout, including some that are hidden away. Beyond the property itself, the community of Hanover Lakes features an array of thoughtful amenities. First off, there is a community boat ramp and lift to the Alligator Chain of Lakes, making the need for a private dock optional. Secondly, there is a community pool with a small waterpark that has two slides, a covered patio with plenty of tables and chairs, a shaded playground, and a multipurpose field adjacent to the pool, perfect for all kinds of fun under the sun. The pool, playground, and patio sit behind a security gate that can be opened via an app, keeping the area secure and making it the perfect setting for the whole family to enjoy. Next to the boat lift, there is also a covered fishing dock that provides both a relaxing place to fish and view the calming waters of Alligator Lake. For daily needs, Publix and Winn-Dixie are minutes away, while Royal St. Cloud Golf Links is just around the corner for golf enthusiasts. Lakefront Park is also nearby with waterfront dining and outdoor recreation, including a beach area, walking/riding trails, splash pad, playground, and a public boat ramp providing access to additional boating, fishing, and water recreation on the East Lake Toho Chain of Lakes. St. Cloud Medical Center is conveniently located for medical needs, and proximity to the FL Turnpike ensures smooth regional connectivity.
