Description

Welcome to 109 Laurel Oak Drive, tucked inside Sweetwater Oaks, one of Longwood's most established communities, where mature trees, larger homesites and access to Lake Brantley and the Wekiva River gives you a version of Central Florida living that newer communities simply can't replicate.Stepping into the home, one of the first things you notice is the character. From the foyer, the home unfolds into defined spaces rather than one large open room, something increasingly rare in newer construction. A separate dining area gives dinner its own place, while multiple living spaces allow the home to change with the way you live. The family room brings warmth with marble flooring, a fireplace and built-in speakers, while the expansive second living area naturally pulls you toward the pool.Then you step outside, and you understand where this home was meant to be lived.The pool area feels less like a backyard and more like a private outdoor living space built for Florida. More than 2,000 square feet of pavers create multiple levels for gathering, lounging and entertaining, with built-in seating and accent lighting that allow the space to transition from afternoons by the pool to evenings outside with friends. The outdoor kitchen, complete with granite tile counters, sink and LazyMan grill with side burner, means hosting doesn't require constantly moving everyone back inside.There's a pergola for slowing down in the shade, a spa with jet nozzles when the evening cools off, and new fencing that gives the entire setting a greater sense of privacy. Even the dedicated equipment and tool sheds matter here, keeping the things you need for a backyard like this out of sight and leaving the space itself for living.This isn't simply a home that happens to have a pool. The backyard was designed around it. The pool enclosure was replaced in 2020, creating an outdoor space that feels like a true extension of the home and one you can realistically enjoy throughout the year.And living here extends beyond the property line. Sweetwater Oaks residents have access to a private beach and boat ramp on Lake Brantley, so a Saturday can mean putting the boat in the water without leaving your community. At Riverbend Park, that lifestyle shifts to the Wekiva River for canoeing and kayaking. Add parks, sports courts, pavilions, tennis, pickleball and a community center, and you begin to understand why pe don't simply buy a house here.
