Description of Property

Welcome to this lakefront retreat with a private guest suite with direct access to Phillippi Creek located in Southgate! This is a rare opportunity to own private waterfront with access to scenic Phillippi Creek and the Intracoastal Waterway. This exceptional property combines timeless design, modern upgrades and Florida indoor-outdoor living, all with no history of hurricane water intrusion, according to the owner. From the moment you arrive, the home’s curb appeal impresses with a circular driveway, paver walkways, an additional paver parking pad, mango and avocado trees and a fully fenced setting surrounded by lush, mature landscape. Enter through stunning French doors with stained glass into a bright, tropical-inspired entry. Inside, the open-concept living space is expansive and inviting, anchored by a gas fireplace and enhanced by updated windows that fill the home with natural light. The chef’s kitchen is functional and stylish, featuring a curved stone countertop and bistro-height seating, Murano glass pendants and recessed lighting, a six-burner natural gas cooktop and stainless-steel appliances, including a Bosch dishwasher. Designed for entertaining, the outdoor living area is exceptional.
