The home presents in mint condition throughout, with thoughtful updates and classic charm that make it move-in ready. The traditional Florida style made of solid concrete block/stucco and panels along the front for a cottage appeal—often characterized by clean lines, practical yet elegant design suited to the subtropical climate—features a welcoming facade with well-kept landscaping that sets a beautiful first impression. A two-car garage with a durable speckled epoxy-coated floor provides secure parking and extra storage.

The two additional bedrooms share a full bath accessible via the hallway, offering flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. Additional highlights include: A new air conditioning system installed in 2025 for reliable year-round comfort. Hurricane shutters on the exterior for protection during strong storms. Elegant plantation shutters on the interior windows, providing privacy and excellent control over sunlight. A private screened lanai that overlooks the serene lake while maintaining a sense of seclusion and tranquility. The gated community offers a large pool and cabana with restrooms.

Estimate the monthly payment
Estimate by Lasbury Tracy Realty — not a loan offerStarting figures for 8531 KARPEAL DR. Everything below is editable.
AssumptionNot a quoted rate. Ask a lender what you actually qualify for today.
From this listingThe seller's most recent annual tax bill as reported to the MLS. Your bill will differ — Florida reassesses on sale and homestead caps reset.
Editable estimateA placeholder, not a quote. On the Gulf Coast this is the line item most likely to be wrong: premiums swing on roof age, wind mitigation, elevation, and carrier appetite. Get a real quote before you rely on this number.
Starts at $0Deliberately zero until you enter a figure — we will not inflate a payment with a guess. Many homes here need it; ask us for the property's flood zone and the current policy's premium.
From this listingMonthly association fee as reported to the MLS. Confirm what it includes, and ask about special assessments.
AssumptionNot applied — your down payment is 20% or more.
