Welcome to Lake Mary's best-kept community secret - The Preserve at Soldiers Creek. This cozy, 23-home, gated community is located just moments from Lake Mary High School, the new hotspot Downtown Lake Mary district, and all of the amazing boutique shopping and dining that makes Lake Mary one of the most desirable Central Florida towns.

Greeted by a courtyard entry, family and friends are welcomed by a front porch perfect for watching the waterside wildlife, including hawks, eagles, cranes and more. Upon entering, quality craftsmanship is evident. Australian Cypress hardwood flooring is found throughout, as are plantation shutters.

Bedroom four, three bathrooms, and the laundry room complete the first floor. A large bonus room with an ensuite bath is found upstairs, ideal for a game room, 2nd office or sixth bedroom. Step outside to enjoy the Florida lifestyle poolside while grilling at the summer kitchen with wet bar or lounging in the infinity spa. Privacy landscaping surrounds the property and landscaping lighting continues the fun into the evening. Entertaining is a breeze thanks to the enormous amount of covered lanai space and the additional open brick paver patio nestled in the trees alongside the screen enclosure. The Preserve at Soldiers Creek is located just moments from the Interstate, the Beltways, the Beaches and the Attractions. Lake Mary has consistently ranked in the top 5 of the best small towns in the USA by multiple sources, including CNN Money, thanks to its impressive schools and strategic location granting access to a wealth of nearby outdoor activities, including golf and country clubs, walking and hiking trails and easy access to both the attractions and the beaches.
