973 MAIN St

Welcome to 973 Main Street, an extraordinary 5-bedroom, 3 full bath, 1 half bath residence in the heart of Lakelands, where elevated design, exceptional functionality, and true neighborhood convenience come together in one of the community’s most desirable settings. Set within the award-winning Bartholomew model, this home has been meticulously transformed by its current owners into a modern farmhouse-inspired showpiece with luxury finishes, thoughtful upgrades, and custom details at every turn.

From the moment you enter, the quality of the renovation is immediately apparent. The flooring, lighting, fixtures, appliances, bathrooms, built-ins, and finishes have all been carefully selected and beautifully executed, creating a home that feels refined, cohesive, and remarkably livable. There truly is not a single surface that has not been thoughtfully considered. The result is arguably one of the finest modern farmhouse interpretations in Lakelands — warm, polished, stylish, and designed for the way people actually live.

The main level is an entertainer’s dream, offering an open, effortless flow between the kitchen, dining, living, screened porch, and outdoor spaces. At the center of it all is a fully renovated chef’s kitchen that is nothing short of a showstopper. Anchored by a dramatic 10-foot by 5-foot double-thick white quartz island, the space offers nearly 50 square feet of countertop surface for cooking, gathering, serving, entertaining, homework, conversation, and everyday life. Custom cabinetry, elevated finishes, a 48-inch Miele range, a 60-inch hood, premium appliances, two farmhouse sinks, wine and beverage coolers, and a massive walk-in pantry make the kitchen as functional as it is beautiful. Even the most thoughtful details have been considered, including a custom doggie faucet and built-in feeding tray — a charming and practical touch that reflects the level of customization found throughout the home.

The surrounding living spaces are equally impressive. A dramatic double-sided fireplace creates a true “wow” moment, bringing warmth, architecture, and visual impact to the heart of the home. Brilliant wide-plank hardwood floors, recessed lighting, paneled ceilings and walls, custom millwork, and luxury touches throughout create an atmosphere of refined resort-style living — all within the walkable, amenity-rich setting that makes Lakelands so beloved.

The owners also reimagined the home for modern daily life. The formal living room has been converted into a highly functional built-in locker area, creating a stylish everyday drop zone. The office has been fully renovated with custom built-ins, while the family room also features built-ins that add both beauty and practicality. A Sonos speaker system is integrated throughout the home and outdoor entertaining areas and will convey, along with several wall-mounted TVs, making the home feel truly turnkey for everyday living, entertaining, and relaxed luxury.

Just off the main living area, the screened-in porch functions as an inviting three-season room — a natural extension of the home and a place everyone will want to gather. Whether used for morning coffee, casual dinners, game days, quiet evenings, or effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining, it adds another layer of comfort and lifestyle appeal. The rear outdoor spaces continue the experience with a replacement deck and screened porch completed with Versatex, a fire table with inline natural gas, a full outdoor bar and kitchen area, and an outdoor built-in smoker.

Upstairs, the home offers one of the most valuable and sought-after layouts in the neighborhood: four full bedrooms on one level. This creates outstanding functionality for family living, guests, work-from-home needs, or flexible everyday use. The bathrooms have been thoughtfully renovated with elevated materials and fixtures, continuing the home’s cohesive design language and luxury-forward feel. The upstairs Carrier furnace was also
