$1,200,000 Some homes are built to be lived in. This one was built to be experienced. Welcome home to this 2024 custom-built Arthur Rutenberg Kensington, set on a scenic ridge overlooking Lake Alfred. A half-circle driveway and three-car garage greet you before you ever step through the door, the first impression of a home built with uncompromising craftsmanship. Inside, you'll find the kind of one-story living that rarely comes up for sale: 3,547 square feet of heated space, four bedrooms, and three private en-suite baths, each pairing comfort with privacy.Step inside and the craftsmanship speaks for itself, tray ceilings, crown moulding, and a flow built for effortless entertaining. At the heart of it all, the kitchen centers on a 5'3" x 9'9" natural quartz island, anchored by an oversized sink and finished with a hidden walk-in pantry that keeps the counters clear and the storage endless. A 10-bottle wine display, framed in stone and lit to be seen, sits alongside an under-counter wine fridge and a full suite of GE stainless appliances built for those who cook, host, and never run out of room to do both. The owner's suite is its own retreat, an oversized, two-door walk-in shower with Kohler Bluetooth controls turns a daily routine into something closer to a spa ritual, complemented by custom his-and-hers walk-in closets. Every detail beneath the surface was considered with equal care: two tankless gas water heaters, a whole-home Bluetooth surround sound system, and pre-wiring already in place for a whole-home generator. Nothing here was an afterthought. Now step outside, where the walls of glass fully pocket open to erase the line between indoors and out. The lanai unfolds into a private, screened-in salt pool and spa, heated, seven-jet, four-jet, dual-pump, surrounded by mature, irrigated landscaping that makes the space feel secluded rather than staged. A full outdoor kitchen anchors the entertaining space: a built-in ice machine, dual refrigerators, a 10-in-1 hybrid gas-and-charcoal grill, color-adjustable lighting, and Bluetooth surround sound, blurring the line between entertaining inside and out. And then there's where it sits. This isn't just a home, it's an address inside a community that very few in Central Florida can rival. Life here means launching a boat onto a true ski lake, one of the few of its kind buyers search for by name. And when the day on the water is done, boat and RV storage is included on site, inside the gates, at no additional charge, a convenience most communities simply don't provide and buyers consistently underestimate the value of. It means three pools including a dedicated lap pool, a full fitness center with saunas, and a clubhouse residents actually use, not a lobby that photographs well and sits empty. It means four lighted tennis courts, pickleball, basketball, and trails woven throughout, so the community isn't a backdrop to your life, it's part of it. This is a home for someone who isn't just buying square footage, they're buying the version of life that comes with it: the boat in the driveway on Saturday, the courts on Sunday, and a home built to match the way they actually intend to live.
