Tucked away in the East Lake Woodlands community of Woodlands Estates, this gem of a home - located in an X-flood zone (no flood insurance required!) - has over $100k in updates and offers privacy as well as broad views of the golf course! As soon as you walk in the front door, you'll feel at home, imagining the glow from the gorgeous stone fireplace on a chilly winter night, a beautiful focal point in the living room! Throughout the living areas of this split-plan home, the soaring white-washed knotty pine ceilings create a sense of the outdoors. The updated kitchen features granite counters, new stainless appliances, luxurious soft-close cabinets, full extension soft-close drawers, a pass-through to the living room and a large eat-in area with views of the golf course and pool! The primary suite was completely updated with stunning amenities including a custom walk-in closet! Each of the bedrooms has new wood-look tile flooring and generous closets for great storage. New variable speed pool pump and salt system in 2024.  New 5" base moldings throughout the home.  The screened lanai beckons with plenty of covered space for dining and lounging! No neighbors on the left so the open patio with new travertine tile is a perfect spot to warm up, toast marshmallows, and watch the sunset around the propane fire pit!  The beautifully updated designer guest bath is accessible from the patio area! As a gated community, East Lake Woodlands is one of Pinellas County's most-loved neighborhoods, with sidewalks throughout!
