Property Description


0.45 Acres Lot
Built in 1950
For Sale - Active
1 Units

Welcome to 125 Lake Roy Drive—an extraordinary, move-in-ready lakefront estate delivering the true Florida lifestyle with zero compromises and no HOA. Set on a beautifully landscaped lot with ample parking for vehicles, boats, RVs, and lake toys, this home offers unmatched flexibility and convenience for waterfront living. Perfectly positioned on the prestigious South Chain of Lakes, this single-level pool home features panoramic water views, a private boat dock with lift, a brand-new jet ski dock, and nightly front-row seats to the LEGOLAND fireworks. With effortless access to more than a dozen interconnected lakes, this is a rare opportunity to own a true waterfront retreat designed for everyday luxury and unforgettable moments. The home has undergone extensive upgrades, featuring a custom-designed kitchen with solid wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a modern sink, and a new disposal. Both ensuite bathrooms were meticulously renovated, offering comfort and style in every detail. A brand-new HVAC system and ductwork have been installed, along with complete PEX re-piping, a new 1,000-gallon septic tank, and a five-chamber drain field, as well as a French drain across the entire driveway. Additional improvements include new flooring, fresh interior paint, upgraded trim, a new boat lift motor and cradle built for a pontoon, and a refreshed pool system for low-maintenance enjoyment. Inside, the layout offers elegance and flexibility. The primary suite is tucked away for privacy and relaxation, while the second guest suite features an en suite bathroom that opens directly to the pool—perfect for extended family, guests, or a future in-law suite setup. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the spacious living area and opens to the lanai through six sets of glass doors, creating a seamless connection to the outdoors. A light-filled sunroom offers peaceful views of the pool and lake year-round, while a private, palm-lined courtyard provides a tranquil space for morning coffee or evening reflection. The property also features two garages with space for three vehicles, as well as a dedicated carport. Conveniently located near major retail, dining, and downtown Winter Haven, this home offers a unique blend of privacy, convenience, and a true waterfront lifestyle. This property is also located near the Polk Parkway and Highway 27, giving you quick access to I-4, major metro areas, world-class theme parks, and local beaches in every direction. Evening showings are highly recommended to fully experience the brilliance of the sunset over Lake Roy, best enjoyed from the tranquil comfort of this poolside sanctuary.
