Dare To Dream Home

Dream Home or Dream On? Recent Price Drop of $150,000

Dreaming of a lake house to get away from the golf cart traffic? Welcome to Sunset Boulevard, where dreams meet reality—if your dream includes a $3,450,000 price tag, that is! This jaw-dropping waterfront estate just outside The Villages, sprawls over 3 acres with privacy walls and a gated driveway. Expect to be wowed by Lake Weir views through the massive windows, a chef’s kitchen with top-tier appliances, and 6 bedrooms, each with its own bath. An in-law suite, elevator, and home office add practicality, while the game room, theater, and pool with a custom bar scream luxury. Lake life? You’ve got a private beach, boathouse with double lifts, and jet ski lifts. Near The Villages’ amenities, this gem has it all—if your wallet can handle the sparkle. You’ve got to see the pictures!
