A home for sale in Mallards Landing is as rare as a four-leaf clover — no one wants to leave! These homes are true gems, like giant treehouses tucked away in nature alongside Lake Audubon. This particular home is exceptionally rare: it's one of the largest models in the community and is an end unit. It offers four levels, four bedrooms, four bathrooms, plus a den/workout room. When you enter the foyer from the covered porch, you're immediately greeted by floor-to-ceiling windows and doors that span the back of the house between the living and dining rooms. The view is tranquil, to say the least. The main level features a large kitchen with a wet bar (including a wine fridge), a walk-in pantry, and a spacious eat-in area. From both the dining and living rooms, you can access a balcony — perfect for dining al fresco while listening to the birds and taking in the view of Lake Audubon. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet, its own bathroom (with one of the best windows in the house), and a private balcony. The second bedroom is sun-filled and spacious, while the third bedroom is unique in its own way, offering its own private balcony. On the lower level, there’s a third full bathroom, a flexible room that can be used as an exercise room, office, or whatever you choose, plus a large unfinished laundry room with plenty of space for storage or a mini-workshop. Go down one more level and you'll be blown away by the soaring 12+-foot ceilings in the large recreation/family room and the fourth bedroom. Both the rec room and the fourth bedroom have access to a lower-level deck.
