Property Description

Virtually Staged. Hidden beneath a canopy of majestic oaks and tucked away from the street behind the gates of the prestigious Lake in the Woods community, this extraordinary all-brick traditional estate is one of Hernando County's true hidden treasures. Set on nearly **2 acres** across **two separately parceled homesites (Lots 7 & 11)**, this remarkable property offers an exceptional blend of privacy, timeless craftsmanship, and endless possibilities. Boasting **5,911 heated square feet** and **8,152 total square feet under roof**, this expansive residence features **5 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, and 1 half bath**, thoughtfully designed for both grand entertaining and comfortable everyday living. Rich architectural details, soaring spaces, and classic finishes create an atmosphere of warmth and elegance throughout, while a stunning custom library with floor-to-ceiling built-ins provides the perfect executive office or private reading retreat. Multiple formal and casual living areas, along with **two wood-burning fireplaces**—one indoors and one outdoors—offer inviting spaces to gather with family and friends. The spacious chef's kitchen features abundant workspace, a butler's pantry, and an additional preparation area, while the breakfast room overlooks a peaceful koi pond, creating a tranquil setting for morning coffee. A **private guest suite with its own separate entrance** offers exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living, extended family, long-term guests, or a private home office. The oversized garage provides tremendous storage and offers exciting **future potential for guest quarters or a carriage house**. Outside, you'll discover your own private retreat complete with a **heated swimming pool, heated spa, outdoor fireplace, mature landscaping, and multiple outdoor living areas**, all surrounded by towering trees that create an enchanting estate-like setting unlike anything else in the area. One of the property's most unique and valuable features is the inclusion of **two separately parceled homesites**, offering the rare opportunity to preserve additional privacy, build a future custom residence with its own driveway, or simply enjoy the flexibility and long-term investment potential. While a discerning buyer may choose to personalize select finishes, the home's exceptional scale, solid brick construction, timeless architecture, and irreplaceable setting provide a foundation that simply cannot be replicated. Residents of Lake in the Woods enjoy beautifully maintained grounds, mature tree-lined streets, tennis and pickleball courts, a playground, and community gathering areas, all conveniently located just minutes from shopping, dining, medical facilities, Weeki Wachee Springs, the Gulf Coast, and the Suncoast Parkway for an easy commute to Tampa. **Rarely does an estate combine nearly two acres of gated privacy, two separate homesites, nearly 6,000 square feet of living space, and the flexibility for true multigenerational living—creating a one-of-a-kind legacy property where generations can gather and memories can be made for years to come.**
