About this home
8879 LAKEWOOD DRIVE
LAKEFRONT LIVING IN THE HEART OF SEMINOLE! Tucked away on a peaceful lake, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the kind of backyard you’ll find yourself enjoying every single day. Whether it’s morning coffee under the covered patio, evenings around the fire pit, casting a line from your backyard, or simply watching turtles, birds, and other wildlife across the water, this setting is hard to beat. Even better, you’ll enjoy all of this from an X flood zone in a non-evacuation area, offering added peace of mind despite the waterfront setting. Inside, the home welcomes you with an open layout, beautiful luxury tile flooring, and large windows that frame the backyard and lake views, filling the main living areas with natural light. The living room flows effortlessly into the dining area and kitchen, creating a comfortable layout for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features granite countertops, plenty of cabinet space, a breakfast bar, and overlooks the front of the home while remaining connected to the main living areas. Built-in bookshelves add character and functionality to the rear flex space, creating the perfect reading nook, home library, or second living area with some of the best views in the house. The bathroom has been simply refreshed with an updated vanity, giving the space a clean, updated feel while the rest of the home is move-in ready. One of the standout features is the detached shed, already equipped with electricity, insulation, drywall, and recessed lighting. It’s ready to become a home office, art studio, workshop, gym, or the ultimate hangout space. Outside, you’ll find a large backyard with room to spread out, a covered patio overlooking the lake, mature shade trees, and a fire pit that creates the perfect spot to relax after a long day. Whether you’re entertaining friends, enjoying a quiet evening by the water, or spending the weekend fishing from your own backyard, this property delivers a lifestyle that’s increasingly hard to find in Seminole.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
