Set within one of Parkland's most desirable gated master-planned communities, this lakefront WCI/Lennar residence in Heron Bay combines elegant design, practical upgrades, and an easy South Florida lifestyle. Positioned on a cul-de-sac, the home offers 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths, an upstairs loft, 3,217 square feet under air, a 3-car garage, and an extended driveway that could comfortably accommodate several vehicles. Outdoor living is a true focal point. A freeform pool with hardscape deck, in-pool sun shelf, and customizable lighting is oriented to capture wide, open lake views. The covered lanai serves as an extension of the main living area, with ample space for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing poolside. The combination of cul-de-sac placement and offset homes along the shoreline helps create a secluded, quiet backyard setting. Inside, the home features wood-look vinyl plank flooring throughout the main living areas and bedrooms for a clean, cohesive look. The kitchen offers generous countertop space, a large island suitable for casual dining, and a coordinated suite of KitchenAid appliances. Glass panels along the staircase preserve sightlines between levels while still defining the loft and common areas, and two of the five bedrooms offer en-suite baths and walk-in closets. Built-out closets throughout help maximize storage and organization. Designed for everyday comfort and South Florida resilience, the home is constructed of concrete block with impact windows and doors, natural gas service (including an exterior connection), dual-zone air conditioning with Nest thermostats, and a tankless water heater. Recent improvements include a garage door motor with app and camera capability, a pool motor, an A/C unit, and a Samsung washer and dryer. Residents of Heron Bay enjoy an amenity-rich lifestyle with access to two clubhouses, resort-style pools, modern fitness centers, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball courts, playgrounds, and walking paths, all within a 24-hour gated community. Parkland has been named the number one Best Place to Live in Florida by U.S. News for 2026-2027, recognized for its quality of life, schools, and overall livability.
