The Lake House is nestled just outside of city limits in the town of Defuniak Springs, a rapidly developing area of NW Florida where sparkling lakes and underground springs define the landscape. Less than an hour drive to the beautiful Emerald Coast beaches, this home offers country lakeside luxury living close enough for a day trip to the beach. The 3,067-square-foot, two-story lake-front home sits atop a large hill on 2 full lots along 220 feet of Lake Holley's serene shoreline. Built in 2018, the home offers a blend of beauty, luxury, and comfort, appearing as a beautiful single-level home from the street while revealing a two-story, light-filled retreat on the lake side, where large windows and inviting patios frame peaceful views of the water..

The home's three bedrooms, separate office, and two-and-a-half bathrooms are thoughtfully arranged across two levels, with every main room and bedroom opening to stunning views of Lake Holley. The kitchen, practical and welcoming, centers around a large island with a sink, complemented by a built-in cabinet trashcan and slide-out racks for easy organization. A separate walk-in pantry is conveniently out of view inside the wet-room beside the kitchen. A detached 2-car garage is within feet of the home's side entrance. Modern touches like smart lights and power switches add convenience, while a double-sided wood burning fireplace brings warmth to the large dining and living spaces. Outside, a shaded area under a tree on the hill provides a perfect spot for dining or grilling, with the lake's gentle presence always in view. The lawn is kept green by a sprinkler system. A waterproofing system with drainage membrane and French Drain keeps the walkout basement dry and problem free. With a private well and septic tank, plus the option for city water, the home balances independence and flexibility. The well, HVAC system, and all high-end quality appliances were installed in 2018. The refrigerator has been recently replaced and is brand new.

From the spacious and airy interiors to the open patios, every space feels designed for luxury, ease, and enjoyment. The Lake House is a true dream come true, a must-see treasure with lakefront overlook views that weave a touch of magic into every moment.
