Remarks: The epitome of Florida lakefront living, this six-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom estate in the gated Highlands by the Lake community offers a rare synthesis of architectural grandeur and meticulous modern stewardship. Situated on nearly an acre with direct frontage on Banana Lake, the residence is introduced by an arrival sequence featuring iron Cantera doors that open to soaring 13-to-16-foot ceilings and a magnificent domed dining room. The interior is defined by a sophistication, where pocketing sliding doors and tinted rear windows dissolve the boundaries between the refined living spaces and the verdent lakeside setting. The home’s infrastructure has been rigorously modernized, featuring a 5-HP Trane HVAC system (2025), a secondary upstairs unit with a dedicated dehumidifier (2026), and two new tankless water heaters (2025). New, high-efficiency Pella windows constitute all but 6 windows throughout the home, complemented by whole-home surge protection, whole home Mulligan water filtration system, and an ADT security array consisting of 14 perimeter cameras. The culinary center is a testament to functional luxury, equipped with a gas cooktop, custom all-wood cabinetry, a new garbage disposal (2024), and a stainless-steel utility suite. While the kitchen’s digital hub and the home’s televisions do not convey, the residence is a technological fortress, wired for 7G connectivity with an integrated Sonos surround-sound system and a theater room featuring SONY cinema equipment. The primary wing has been thoughtfully updated with 2023 luxury vinyl flooring, electric privacy curtains, and a primary bath featuring a bidet and "Closets by Design" cabinetry.
