118 Okeechobee West

Step into luxury with this meticulously designed 4-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom residence, located in the gated community of Forest Lakes. As you approach the home, you're greeted by a welcoming open front porch with a charming porch swing and gas lantern. The Hardiboard siding of the home beautifully contrasts with the brick detailing on the front porch. Upon entering the grand foyer, your eyes will be captivated by the pecky cypress accent ceiling and shiplap walls, which set the stage for the home's refined aesthetic. These elements are beautifully complemented by engineered hickory wood floors that flow gracefully throughout the residence, all framed by tall baseboards and crown molding. Flow seamlessly into the formal dining room, where you'll find a ceiling adorned with pecky cypress beams and state-of-the-art surround sound, perfect for dinner parties. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream come true, boasting high-end Thermador appliances including a dual-fuel oven with a 6-burner gas range, refrigerator, dishwasher, vented hood and pot filler. The kitchen, enhanced by boxed cypress beams on the ceiling, earth-toned subway tile backsplash, ambient under-cabinet lighting and elegant ebony leathered granite counters, add layers of sophistication, complemented by an abundance of soft-close cabinets and drawers. The large island, distinguished by a unique shade of granite, houses a wine fridge and a drawer-style microwave. Adjacent to the kitchen, the living room also features boxed cypress beams on the ceiling and a floor-to-ceiling bricked gas fireplace. A Sonos sound system and surround sound are integrated for an immersive experience. A conveniently located central vac access and an advanced security system are situated near the kitchen and living room for your convenience and peace of mind. The home's connectivity is further optimized by Wi-Fi mesh extenders located throughout the home. Located between the kitchen and the garage access, the mudroom offers a separate entrance and features shiplap walls, a built-in bench, and ample storage, acting as a functional transition space. Step out onto the screened brick back porch, a serene space complete with drapes, a ceiling fan, and surround sound; perfect for year-round outdoor living. The fenced backyard offers mature landscaping, an outdoor shower, and a Green Egg that is ideal for grilling. Each guest bedroom is a private retreat, complete with en-suite bathrooms and painted wood-finished closets. The first-floor guest bedroom boasts plantation shutters and an adjacent bathroom featuring shiplap walls and a dual-head, walk-in shower. On the second floor, discover two more guest bedrooms, each with its unique bathroom features. The master suite is a sanctuary, featuring a cathedral ceiling and a private screened-in porch. The master bath offers a glass-enclosed soaker tub and walk-in shower, flanked by double vanities with granite tops. A pull-down metal ladder in the master closet provides access to a floored spray-foamed, energy-efficient attic. The exterior of the home impresses with Hardiboard siding, a durable metal roof, impact-rated glass windows, and a fenced-in yard with mature landscaping. Rain gutters and downspouts are also installed for effective water drainage. Parking is a breeze with a single-stall garage, an additional parking pad, and driveway space for a third vehicle. Added luxuries include a security system, two AC units, an irrigation system, and a gas tankless hot water heater. Forest Lakes features a gated entry, two-tiered pool, covered outdoor summer kitchen and playground. This home offers the best of both worlds - luxury and community. Whether you're looking for a family home or a lucrative short-term rental opportunity, this Forest Lakes masterpiece is perfect in every sense.
