RARE WATERFRONT COURTYARD COTTAGE + PRIVATE GUEST HOUSE in Lakeshore at Lake Andrew! Tucked beneath majestic oak trees draped in Spanish moss, this 2023 courtyard-style beauty delivers the kind of Florida lifestyle buyers dream about—full water views, glowing sunset skies, and a peaceful setting that feels like your own private retreat. Inside the main home, you’ll love the bright, open layout paired with crown molding, coffered ceiling details, luxury vinyl flooring, and upgraded fixtures for that clean, elevated feel. The kitchen is a total showpiece with stainless appliances, Pompeii quartz countertops, a stainless farmhouse sink, and a smart flow that keeps everyone connected—perfect for hosting, relaxing, or just enjoying the view. The primary suite is a calm, comfortable escape with a walk-in closet, dual-sink vanity with a custom organization system, and direct access to the rear porch—so your mornings start with fresh air and your evenings end with lake breezes. A spacious guest bedroom with its own walk-in closet sits conveniently near the second full bath. Now the headline feature: step through the pergola into your private courtyard designed to feel like an outdoor living room… and across the way is your separate 275 sq ft guest cottage—complete with its own modern bathroom, kitchenette, extra storage, and included small appliances. This is the ultimate flex space: home office, art studio, yoga room, in-law suite, or guest retreat—all with tranquil pond views and that “I can breathe here” energy. And the lifestyle? Next-level. Gated, amenity-rich Lakeshore at Lake Andrew sits on the western edge of The Villages, and the monthly fee covers an incredible list—land lease, lawn care/landscaping, water, sewer, trash, cable, high-speed internet, resort-style pool, pickleball courts, yoga/fitness room, fishing pier, dog park, EV charging, garden spaces, and a community fire pit. Low-maintenance living without sacrificing the fun. This lightly lived-in home also includes premium extras like added closet and garage storage systems, Norman automatic/remote privacy shades, and a LeafFilter gutter guard system—so you can move in and start living from day one. Whether you’re looking for a low-maintenance primary residence, an elegant seasonal getaway, or a vacation home that truly wows visitors, this waterfront courtyard cottage is the one.
