11248 Little Nellie Drive

Welcome to your very own lakefront retreat on the crystal-clear, skiable waters of Little Lake Nellie-connected to the larger Lake Nellie! This custom-built gem blends luxury and comfort with stunning early morning owl moonsets and evening sunsets that you'll look forward to. Whether you're lounging on the screened patio or taking a dip in the nearly 40-foot solar-heated salt water pool with a custom 20-foot infinity edge, relaxing here comes easily. The emphasis is on safety with alarms on all doors leading to the lanai/pool area. You'll also appreciate the upgraded screen installed for reduced sun exposure. Inside, the home feels open and bright, thanks to a soaring 14-foot cathedral ceiling and a 24-foot wall of glass, made of 6 sliding glass doors that frame the lake like a painting. Most rooms are handicap accessible and feature 8-foot tall doors, crown molding in every bedroom, and sleek tile flooring throughout (no carpet here!). This custom-built home provides a layout that feels both stylish and thoughtfully designed. The kitchen is a dream with beautiful, functional, and elegant cabinetry, granite veined countertops to match the room, a wine cooler, slide-out pantry drawers, a wall-mount convection oven, a convection microwave, and tons of storage space. The spacious primary suite provides plenty of storage as well, with a custom walk-in room-sized closet, an ensuite with a glass-enclosed shower and dual sinks, as well as a peaceful office area with French doors to the lanai, overlooking the water. The second bedroom provides a charming window seat, while bedroom three has charming lake views with French doors to the lanai. You'll also find a front office with double French doors-perfect for working from home-with room for a large desk and extra furniture. Smart upgrades throughout include spray foam attic insulation, a brand-new roof, and sun protection solar pool screen (2023), two HVAC systems, a Halo air purification system, two whole-house 5-micron water filters, gutters, a generous paver driveway, concrete landscape edging, lake-pump water irrigation, 2 terrace gardens, and a freshly sealed paver patio. Even the side-entry garage has been updated with a painted floor and service door. And with space to build your own dock, this isn't just a lakefront home-it's a private, sunset-filled sanctuary where every day ends in beauty.
