Pool home with a private courtyard design in the gated community of Lake Charles in the heart of St. Lucie West. This beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 3-bath home offers true indoor-outdoor living with a unique layout designed for both privacy and entertaining. Step through the front entrance and into your own screened courtyard oasis featuring a sparkling pool surrounded by spacious entertaining areas, creating the perfect setting for relaxing, hosting guests, or enjoying Florida living year-round. The thoughtfully designed split floor plan includes a separate guest or in-law suite located across the courtyard with its own private bath, ideal for visitors, multigenerational living, or a private home office setup. Inside the main home, you'll find comfortable living spaces filled with natural light and views of the courtyard pool from multiple rooms. The layout seamlessly connects the indoor and outdoor spaces, making the home feel open, airy, and inviting throughout. Recent updates include a new AC installed in 2024, new stove and washing machine, pool pump, motor, and timer replaced in April 2026, and a 2018 water heater. The exterior has been painted within the last five years, while the courtyard and rear lanai were freshly painted in 2024. Complete hurricane shutters provide added peace of mind. Beyond the courtyard, enjoy an additional screened rear lanai overlooking a private preserve backdrop with no rear neighbors, offering a peaceful and private setting. Located close to I-95, shopping, dining, golf, and medical facilities, this home combines convenience with the lifestyle and amenities Lake Charles is known for. Rarely do courtyard pool homes with this level of privacy and flexible living space become available.
