Property Description
Welcome to Laurel Cottage, nestled on the east shore of coveted Lake Royale to capture the magnificent water views and awesome sunsets! A truly special waterfront retreat in the gated Lake Royale community! Thoughtfully positioned among majestic, mature oaks rather than a clear-cut homesite, this beautifully maintained property offers an uncommon combination of privacy, natural beauty and wonderful water views. Entering the property thru majestic stone pillars, the professionally designed landscaping incorporates natural stone, mature flowering trees and shrubs, and natural areas that lead toward the lake. Waterfront living is the star here with a private boathouse and boat lift, 3 spacious docks and plenty of room to relax and enjoy life on the water. A large, screened porch extends the living space outdoors, while the primary suite features its own private balcony overlooking the peaceful surroundings. Inside, extensive improvements include new LVP flooring in 2026, a beautifully renovated primary bath in 2025, an updated kitchen with quartz countertops, recessed and under-cabinet lighting, refreshed interior paint and upgraded upstairs carpeting. An approximately 600 SF bonus/office suite with a full bath and walk-in closet offers exceptional flexibility for guests, home office, recreation, hobbies or additional living space. Additional features include a fenced front yard with electric gate, fireplace, fortified storm/safe room, encapsulated crawlspace with dehumidifier, front and rear irrigation, whole-house water filtration with UV treatment, UV treatment on 2 HVAC systems, security system, gutter protection and pre-wiring for partial-home generator power. Enjoy all that Lake Royale has to offer, including boating, fishing, kayaking, beaches, swimming, pickleball, tennis, basketball, clubhouse activities and community events, plus 2 memberships to The River Golf Club. A beautifully updated home, incredible outdoor living and an exceptional waterfront setting—Laurel Cottage offers the Lake Royale lifestyle you've been waiting for!
