96040 LONG BEACH Drive Tucked in an Arnold Palmer golf course community - where the developer chose to honor the land rather than clear most of the trees - this beautifully appointed corner home has soaring ceilings that draw your eye upward and give the home an immediate sense of openness and ease. Gorgeous hand-scraped engineered wood floors flow through the main living areas and primary bedroom, grounding every space with warmth and quiet sophistication. The fireplace - resurfaced in striking granite - anchors the living room with a commanding presence. Intricate crown molding, a whole-home water softener, & a dedicated office speak to a home that has been cared for with intention. Both bathrooms were updated with quartz vanity tops. Lush landscaping and beautifully flowering gardens frame the home's stucco exterior and stone accents, giving the home genuine curb appeal. Step out back and the home reveals perhaps its finest feature - an enclosed lanai overlooking a serene pond, framed by a canopy of mature trees beyond. Whether you're watching herons wade at dawn or simply unwinding as the afternoon light shifts across the water, this is a space that quietly earns its place as the heart of daily life. The community has a resort-style pool, tennis & pickleball courts, basketball, soccer field, & a golf course woven gracefully through native landscape - all without a single tree unnecessarily removed. The Outpost is a true gem - a screened outdoor kitchenette & dining space with direct water access for paddleboarding, kayaking or canoeing on Lofton Creek, a deepwater creek navigable all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. This home is an invitation to a life that is unhurried, beautiful, and deeply connected to nature. Roof 2023, HVAC 18, WH 2025.
