775 S ILAKEE Avenue Virtually Staged. Hidden at the end of a quiet street on the shores of Lake Cummings, this legacy estate offers over 7, 000 sqft of living space, more than 9, 800 sqft under roof, 1, 200 sqft of garage space, and over 1 acre of private land with breathtaking western sunset views. The thoughtfully crafted floor plan offers expansive gathering spaces while maintaining comfort and privacy. A formal living room showcases a wall of windows framing panoramic lake views, filling the home with natural light. The oversized kitchen is the heart of the home, with abundant storage, prep and serving space, a full size refrigerator and freezer, and ice maker-ideal for both intimate dinners and large celebrations. The private primary suite is a true retreat with tranquil lake views, a dressing area, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities and an oversized sunken walk-in shower. Four additional bedrooms provide exceptional accommodations for guests. A standout celebration/pool room with tongue and groove walls, an upper loft, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and laundry expands the living space into its own entertainment venue for parties, game nights, or holiday gatherings-all while the main residence stays a peaceful retreat. Outside, the covered lanai is an outdoor living pavilion with soaring wood ceilings, a commercial-style outdoor kitchen with built-in grill, and expansive dining and lounge areas leading to a screened pool and spa. A dedicated screened potting and garden area overlooks the lake. Lake Cummings offers boating, fishing, and even seaplane accessibility. Nearly one acre of land allows room to enjoy the outdoors while maintaining exceptional privacy. Additional highlights: 1, 200+ sqft of garage/storage space, circular driveway, whole-house Generac generator, abundant storage, and no HOA. Located in Lake Alfred, Polk County, along the I-4 corridor-one of Florida's fastest-growing regions, with the county adding nearly 25, 000 residents in the past year and projected to near 1 million by 2030-this estate offers rare scale and lakefront acreage at approximately $179/sqft, well below comparable homes closer to Tampa and Orlando. Just 15 minutes to I-4, with both metro areas, major airports, shopping, dining, and healthcare within easy reach, this property is both a distinctive primary residence and a compelling long-term opportunity in a corridor still early in its growth curve. This is more than a luxury lakefront home-it's a private destination where sunsets become nightly events and every gathering becomes a cherished memory.
