Description for 715 Seminole Ridge Road #1, Melrose, FL, 32666
Tucked along the peaceful shores of Melrose Bay on Lake Santa Fe, 715 Seminole Ridge Road is a private lakefront retreat offering nearly 5,500 square feet of conditioned living space on 1.36 acres. Set along a gently rolling hillside, the property captures expansive lake views and the relaxed rhythm of waterfront living. The main residence offers four bedrooms and multiple inviting living spaces designed for both connection and quiet retreat. A spacious living room, adjacent dining area, and dedicated Florida room provide comfortable gathering spaces, while two fireplaces add warmth and character throughout the home. The main living areas feature updated faux-wood ceramic tile flooring, offering the warmth of wood with the durability of tile while providing a cohesive flow throughout the home. Well-appointed and recently renovated by Haile Kitchen & Bath, this stunning kitchen features custom wood cabinetry, expansive quartz counters, and a KitchenAid stainless steel appliance package. A thoughtful three-way split floor plan provides privacy and flexibility. One bedroom enjoys its own full bath, while two additional bedrooms share a beautifully renovated Jack-and-Jill bathroom. The upstairs primary suite offers a peaceful escape with stunning lake views, a comfortable sitting area, elegant ensuite bath, and generous walk-in closet. Just steps away, the guest house offers two bedrooms, two full baths, a full kitchen, living room, and dining area—ideal for long term guests or multigenerational living. Outdoor living truly defines the experience here with an expansive screened porch overlooking the lake, a screen-enclosed pool and spa, and a fully equipped summer kitchen featuring a premium professional-grade grill, Big Green Egg smoker, custom cabinetry and granite counters. The gently sloping lawn leads to the screened boathouse and private dock constructed with low-maintenance, long-life Trex composite decking material. A new covered boat lift and lakeside kitchen make it easy to transition from a day on the water to relaxed evenings overlooking Melrose Bay and the open waters of Big Lake Santa Fe. Additional features include a whole house, fully automatic Generac propane generator serving the main residence and a two-car garage with the potential to convert to a three-car configuration. Located in one of the most desirable areas of Lake Santa Fe, Melrose Bay is known for its natural beauty and protected shoreline as a no-wake zone, offering calm waters and a peaceful lakeside setting.
