1465 BALSAM WILLOW Trail Welcome to Woodland Lakes Preserve, a guard gated community conveniently located near Waterford Lakes shopping, dining, major highways, and everyday essentials. Built in 2011, this spacious 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home was owned and meticulously maintained by the original owner, a retired firefighter. This smoke-free and pet-free home has been gently lived in since it was built, with the owner primarily using just one bedroom and most of the home seeing minimal use. The home features numerous upgrades throughout, including upgraded tile, cabinetry, doors, and plantation shutters that provide privacy and help improve energy efficiency. The outdoor living space is a true highlight, featuring an approximately 40 by 20 screened lanai with pavers and ceiling fans, plus a 13 by 13 pergola that provides additional space for relaxing or entertaining. Enjoy peaceful sunrise views and frequent visits from Florida wildlife, including deer, otters, eagles, hawks, cranes, armadillos, raccoons, and more. An attached 12 by 8 storage shed offers convenient space for lawn equipment and additional storage. Additional features include a three year old HVAC system with ultraviolet air purification, four Lorex exterior security cameras with Alexa compatibility, and a brand new dishwasher. The refrigerator, washer, dryer, and Whirlpool oven are also included. The community pool and playground are located just a short walk from the home while remaining comfortably separated from the property. Convenient access to State Roads 408 and 417 makes commuting throughout Central Florida easy.
