Property Description
Set along the widest stretch of Lake Caroline, this completely updated waterfront retreat offers sweeping views, easy outdoor living, and access to one of the regions most amenity-rich private lake communities! 68 Saratoga Cove in Ruther Glen boasts a fully renovated home, resting on a .63-acre lot. The setting is a standout, folks! Positioned on the main body of the lake, the property enjoys open vistas across the water, with uninterrupted sightlines that shift throughout the day. The front yard is flat and grassy with a recently paved asphalt driveway offering generous parking, while the backyard extends seamlessly to the shoreline with a private dock, floating jet ski platform, and a dedicated launch for kayaks and canoes. A large waterfront patio creates a natural gathering space, complemented by a second lounging area at the dock for entertaining and room to host. The homes exterior is classic, simple and functional, with a gray faade accented by black shutters. Inside, the home is all like-new, resulting in a clean, cohesive interior. The kitchen anchors the space with white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and luxury vinyl plank flooring that runs throughout the main areas. The open layout flows from the kitchen into a dining space and onward to a comfortable living area, with natural light and lake views drawing the eye outward. The primary bedroom is located just off the kitchen and features an updated ensuite bath with a walk-in shower outfitted with body jets, a bench, and handheld fixture, along with a double-door closet. A secondary bedroom and full hall bath offer additional accommodations, while a discreet laundry area with full-size washer and dryer is tucked behind pocket doors. The lakeside addition serves as a flexible lake room, with expansive windows, two closets, and direct access to the patio, making it well-suited as a family room, office, or entertaining space. The world is your oyster here all with a lake view! Recent system updates include a new HVAC system, a separate split system for the lake room, and a tankless water heater, all completed in 2022. Residents of Lake Caroline enjoy access to a gated community with a private lake for boating, fishing, kayaking, and jet skis, along with a swimming pool, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball courts, parks, community docks, and year-round events.
