Property Description
The main residence features over 3,800 sqft of living space with 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 2 half baths, plus a detached 550 sqft apartment with its own living room, bedroom, and bath—ideal for guests and extended family. Inside the main home, formal living and dining spaces lead to a well-equipped kitchen with center island, breakfast bar, abundant cabinetry, and a lakeview dinette designed to capture nightly sunsets. The inviting family room—with its brick natural-gas fireplace—adds warmth and comfort for everyday living. The primary suite offers dual walk-in closets, split vanities, a jetted tub, and walk-in shower, while secondary bedrooms provide generous space and excellent storage.
Outdoor living is where this property excels. Enjoy a natural gas–heated pool and spa, expansive covered and open decking, cabana bath, panoramic lake views, and a private boathouse with lift—creating the ultimate lakefront playground. A public boat ramp just one home away adds exceptional convenience.
Major updates ensure peace of mind, including: new roofs on both structures (2018), complete replumbing (2019), new flooring throughout (2020), remodeled bathrooms (2020), new irrigation pump (2023), upgraded landscape lighting (2025), natural-gas pool/spa heater (2019), and a brand-new 2-ton A/C in the apartment (2025).
Located between Tampa and Orlando, this property offers the perfect blend of small-town charm, recreation, and waterfront living. 157 Lake Roy Drive is more than a home—it's a fully updated lakefront compound offering space, versatility, and true Winter Haven Chain of Lakes lifestyle.
