Lake Wildwood Living, Move-In Ready! This two-bedroom, two-bath home sits on an expansive corner lot just 500 feet from the beach at Explorer Park, with tall trees wrapping all around, so it feels surprisingly private. The sellers did the work: new paint throughout, new carpet, new light fixtures, and freshly painted kitchen cabinets, so you get to enjoy your life here right from move-in day. The living room opens to the dining area and the kitchen, and the layout flows easily between them. The central highlight is the sunroom: all windows on three sides, under a vaulted ceiling with two ceiling fans, with French doors out to the deck and the patio.

The Primary bedroom has its own bath with a tub and shower, and the second full bath has a walk-in shower. There's an inside laundry room with a door to the back patio. Outside, the deck is ready for morning coffee, dining al fresco and evening entertaining. And enjoy your nights under the stars with a hot tub on the patio. And just wait until Spring: the Dogwoods are glorious! On the practical side, leased solar and a whole-house fan give you the best in energy efficiency. And, an attached two car garage and extra storage shed give you all the space you need for your lake toys. And then there's Lake Wildwood itself, a gated community built around a private lake with five parks, four of them with sandy beaches and buoyed swim areas, plus a golf course, tennis and pickleball courts, a pool, and a clubhouse with dining.
