Every so often, a truly exceptional property hits the market, and this is one of them! Even better, you’re not just getting one stunning home, but two.

Tucked away on a cul de sac on spanning over half an acre in the highly sought-after “The Lakes” section of Van Dyke Farms, this rare opportunity includes a spacious Arthur Rutenburg main residence with 4 BEDROOMS, 3.5 BATHROOMS, a 3-car oversized garage, POOL and a SPA, plus a DETACHED one-bedroom, one-bathroom CASITA which can be ideal for extended family, guests, or a private office space.

The main home is light, bright, and beautifully updated, offering over 3,500 square feet of living space with a thoughtful split floor plan. Architectural details like high ceilings, crown molding, and plantation shutters add warmth and elegance. The heart of the home is the kitchen, which overlooks the great room and giant lanai with features such as WOOD cabinetry, QUARTZ countertops, STAINLESS STELL appliances, all nestled against a cozy breakfast nook. This makes it a perfect space for everyday living and entertaining!

The primary suite is a peaceful retreat with tranquil views of the pool and a fully remodeled EN SUITE bath showcasing a walk-in shower, SOAKING tub, DUAL VANITIES, and two large separate closets. Two additional bedrooms share an oversized full bathroom and are located near the spacious family room, while a PRIVATE GUEST SUITE with a beautifully UPDATED BATHROOM and direct pool access is situated just off the family room. Just off the guest suite, a versatile BONUS ROOM offers space for a gym, office, sitting area, or hobby room.

Step outside to the covered and screened lanai and enjoy the quintessential Florida lifestyle. The SALTWATER POOL and SPA along with an outdoor TV provide a perfect space to relax or entertain, and the outdoor kitchen makes alfresco dining a breeze.

Additional features of the home include a dedicated office, a NEW ROOF (to be installed prior to closing), NEWER A/C units (both 2024) and HOT WATER HEATERS (2024 and 2025), CAT6 wiring, and a laundry room with cabinetry, quartz countertops and a utility sink.

Connected to the main house by a covered breezeway, the DETACHED CASITA is a true standout. Offering over 900 square feet, it lives like a complete second home with a full kitchen featuring WOOD cabinetry, GRANITE counters, and STAINLESS appliances. The bedroom includes an EN SUITE bath with a walk-in shower, and the interior is finished with WOOD FLOORING, PLANTATION SHUTTERS, and French doors that open to the beautifully landscaped backyard.

Life in Van Dyke Farms is vibrant and welcoming, with exceptional community amenities including tennis, pickleball, volleyball and basketball courts, a playground, and scenic green spaces. Conservation areas and sparkling lakes with gazebos and a fishing dock provide a peaceful connection to nature.
