5611 Aral Drive

Under contract-accepting backup offers. **Imagine spending your evenings here.** Picture this: the sun's setting over your backyard in Bridgewater, and the pool lights are just starting to glow. You're floating in your HEATED, SALTWATER POOL as you wind down for the day. This is what life looks like at 5611 Aral Drive – and honestly, it's the kind of home that makes you want to stay outside until the stars come out. Inside, you've got 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, plus a 2-car garage. But what really makes this place special is the space! The kitchen's the kind you actually want to cook in – cherry cabinets, granite countertops, pantry, and an island. And that screened lanai? It's where you'll spend your Saturday mornings with coffee and probably most of your weekends entertaining friends. The HUGE PRIMARY SUITE feels like your own private retreat with its walk-in closet that actually fits your wardrobe (plus an extra closet), a spa-like shower, and double sinks so you're not fighting for mirror space. Fresh paint throughout gives everything a clean, move-in-ready feel, and this home has zero carpet! Here's the thing about the layout – it just works. There's a flex room near the front that's ideal for a home office (because let's be real, we all need that now). The formal dining room is great for hosting, and the fourth bedroom upstairs has its own full bathroom attached, which is perfect for guests, teens, or that in-law suite setup you've been thinking about. And about that pool – it's been recently resurfaced with a newer pump, so you're not inheriting someone else's headaches. The fenced backyard gives you privacy and peace of mind. Plus, the seller's throwing in a brand new roof with an acceptable offer, which is huge. Bridgewater itself is one of those neighborhoods where people actually know their neighbors. The community amenities are impressive – resort-style pool, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, playground, fishing dock, even a rentable clubhouse. Your HOA fees include Spectrum cable and high-speed internet, so that's one less bill to think about. Location-wise, you're perfectly positioned in North Lakeland between Tampa and Orlando, just minutes from I-4. Shopping, hospitals, Lakeland Regional Center, and Florida Poly are all close by, but you still get that quiet neighborhood feel when you pull into your driveway. Recent updates include HVAC service with UV light, custom surround sound throughout, alarm system, and surge protector – basically, the peace-of-mind stuff is already handled. This is the kind of home where you can see yourself making memories. Come take a look. *(Some photos have been virtually staged)*
