Nestled in the heart of Sweetwater Springs, a beautiful, gated enclave bordering Wekiwa Springs State Park, this exceptional canal-front residence offers an opportunity to live immersed in Old Florida’s natural beauty. With deeded access to both the Wekiva River and spring-fed Lake Brantley, residents enjoy a lifestyle designed for skiers, paddlers, boaters, and nature enthusiasts alike. The neighborhood features multiple private parks, tennis and pickleball courts, playgrounds, a residents-only clubhouse, and a private kayak launch providing direct river access. From the Sweetwater Springs private riverfront park — exclusively for the 79 homes within the community — enjoy peaceful paddles into Wekiwa Springs State Park, where towering cypress trees, crystal-clear springs, and protected wildlife habitats define the landscape. Manatees, otters, deer, wild turkeys, and abundant native wildlife are frequent visitors, creating an environment that feels more like a private nature preserve than a neighborhood. Tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home with a bonus room (could be a 6th bedroom) offers a spacious two-story layout thoughtfully designed for both comfort and entertaining. Freshly updated with light, bright paint and finishes, the home maintains its traditional character while embracing a refreshed, move-in ready appeal. Custom built-in carpentry features throughout add warmth, craftsmanship, and architectural interest, enhancing the home’s timeless feel. The gourmet eat-in kitchen features granite counters, stainless appliances including a split oven and subtle elevated features such as a “pot-filler” water fixture above the stovetop. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the inviting family room anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace. A private guest suite and pool-access bath are conveniently located on the main level, along with a powder room for visitors. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms include the expansive primary suite, which overlooks the sparkling pool and tranquil canal waters beyond. A large upstairs balcony provides a peaceful vantage point to enjoy morning coffee while taking in serene water views. The versatile bonus room offers flexible space for a home office, media room, or playroom. Outdoor living shines with a beautifully resurfaced saltwater screened pool, a new pool heater, and freshly installed pavers enhancing both the pool deck and driveway. The expansive screened lanai creates an inviting setting for entertaining or unwinding after a day on the river and is pre-plumbed for a kitchen. Other significant improvements include a roof replacement in 2022 and a new water heater in 2024 providing peace of mind for future owners. Zoned for highly regarded Lake Brantley schools, this location perfectly balances privacy, natural beauty, and convenience to shopping, dining, and major roadways. For buyers seeking a nature-centered waterfront retreat in a gated, low-inventory community, this home is the one for you!
