Welcome home to Cardinal Oaks Cove one of Lake Mary's best kept secrets with no HOA or CDD! Tucked along quiet, tree lined streets in a golf cart friendly neighborhood, this 4 bedroom, 2 bath POOL home checks every box and then some. High ceilings and skylights brighten the open interior with natural light throughout the day. The kitchen and family room are separated by a fireplace that serves as a stunning architectural half wall. It's the kind of feature that makes cold Florida winter evenings feel genuinely cozy. A formal dining room and living room provide additional space for entertaining. The split floor plan delivers real privacy and flexibility. The spacious primary suite features a walk in closet, en suite bath with a soaking tub and separate shower, and a connecting door to an adjacent bedroom that can serve as a nursery, gym, or home office. On the other side of the home, two additional bedrooms share a second full bath. Out back, your own private retreat awaits. A spacious covered patio extends your living outdoors, flowing into the fully fenced backyard centered on a beautiful pool perfect for morning swims, weekend entertaining, or simply unwinding at the end of the day. The oversized two car garage goes beyond just parking with room left over for a hobbyist, the weekend mechanic, or anyone who needs a workspace at home. A rated schools, mature landscaping, and a location that puts restaurants, shopping, and entertainment just minutes away. Come put your personal touch on this home!
