Welcome to 3719 Buena Vista Way South, a beautifully updated lake view home located in the highly desirable community of Colony Cove in Ellenton, Florida. Set on one of the community's scenic lakes, this property offers stunning water views, exceptional outdoor space, and a thoughtfully upgraded interior that gives the feel of a site-built home. The home makes an immediate impression with its inviting front porch, attractive landscaping, and bay-style windows that enhance both curb appeal and natural light. Ample parking is a standout feature, with space to accommodate multiple vehicles and even a golf cart with ease. Inside, the home has been fully drywalled, including the ceilings, creating a clean and modern finish throughout. Updated flooring flows from the entry through the dining and living areas, while the kitchen features ceramic tile flooring, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and beautifully updated cabinetry. An additional movable island provides flexibility for extra prep space or can be repositioned to create a casual breakfast nook.

The guest bedroom and bathroom are conveniently located near the front of the home, making them easily accessible while remaining separate from the primary suite. The dining area is bright and inviting, featuring updated windows and a stylish light fixture, along with a cozy adjacent nook that works well as a study or additional seating area. A spacious screened lanai with vinyl windows extends the living space and provides a versatile area for relaxing or entertaining. The room features stamped concrete flooring, a ceiling fan, and direct access to the outdoor areas. Additional storage is plentiful, including a large utility area that houses a brand new washer and dryer, a water softener, and the hot water heater, all easily accessible and thoughtfully arranged. The primary suite is generously sized, easily accommodating a king-size bed along with additional furnishings. It includes a large walk-in closet and an expansive en suite bathroom with dual sink vanities, a step-in shower, and a substantial linen closet for extra storage. One of the most impressive features of the home is the rear Florida room, where panoramic lake views take center stage. This space includes ceramic tile flooring, acrylic windows with screens, a fireplace, and a dedicated split air conditioning unit, creating a comfortable environment to enjoy the scenery year-round. Recent updates include a roof installed in 2015 and an air conditioning system updated in 2020, adding to the home's overall value and peace of mind. Full disclosure the back deck will need to be addressed as there are wood pieces that need to be replaced and there are covers on two of the skylights that are missing (no leaking) and three windows on the front of the home that need replacing.
