One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. This custom-built GEM, strategically constructed 5 FEET ABOVE the 100-year floodplain, is the epitome of how homes should be built in Florida! Recently, within the last 30 days, the seller has made several updates, including installing quartz kitchen countertops, adding new light fixtures, removing wallpaper, repainting, laying new vinyl wood plank flooring, and painting the roof. Situated on just under 4 ACRES and located on the stunning BUTLER CHAIN OF LAKES, this home boasts a FOUR-car garage and offers breathtaking lake views from all levels.

The SECOND LEVEL, which serves as the main entry, features a charming courtyard, a grand foyer, formal dining room, kitchen, half bathroom, breakfast nook, living room with a cozy fireplace, 12-foot ceilings, and a porch complete with an outdoor fireplace. On the THIRD LEVEL, you'll find the primary SUITE with its own balcony, a luxurious primary bathroom, a full secondary bathroom, and the second and third bedrooms.

The FIRST, or bottom level, offers a spacious family room that opens to a patio, a full bathroom, an oversized bedroom with a walk-in closet, laundry room, and ample storage space--perfect for an IN-LAW SUITE, as it's already plumbed for a kitchenette and has a 30 AMP outlet.

The living room's main balcony showcases a spectacular view of the lake, surrounded by mature trees draped in moss, wildlife, and even a hot tub. It's also the perfect spot to watch rocket launches from Kennedy Space Center! The primary suite delights with a private balcony overlooking the lake, ideal for morning coffee or evening wine. It features a cedar-lined walk-in closet, an additional separate closet, a jacuzzi tub, a vanity with double sinks, and a bidet for that true spa experience.

This home is packed with upgrades and built to be hurricane and flood-resistant, energy-efficient, and hypoallergenic, thanks to its central vacuum system. The home is topped with a metal crimped roof that offers the aesthetic of traditional roof tiles. A FULL UPGRADE LIST is available upon request.

Located on the 67-acre LAKE BUTLER CHAIN in Volusia County, this property offers the ultimate Florida lifestyle--kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, fishing, and more. It's also conveniently near the Lake Butler Recreation Complex, shopping, dining, and major highways, providing easy access to work and the BEACHES.
