Wake up every morning to stunning lake views in this beautifully updated 4-bedroom plus den, 3-bathroom, highly sought-after Covington model in the prestigious Shadow Wood at The Brooks community. From the moment you arrive, the quality of the updates and the care that has gone into this home are immediately obvious.
Inside, the expansive kitchen was beautifully updated in 2024 with most appliances replaced. Also included is a wine refrigerator and an Instahot water dispenser. The bathrooms were elevated with gorgeous marble countertops, making every space feel like a true retreat. The entire interior was repainted in 2022, all carpet was replaced in 2024, and the tile floors and grout were professionally refurbished in 2026. Adding to the warmth and character of this home are oversized solid wood built-ins in the family room, den, and master bedroom, a rare touch you simply don’t find in most homes.
Storm protection here is as good as it gets. Electric hurricane screens protect both the front entry and the lanai, new hurricane impact windows were installed on the front of the home in 2024, and hurricane shutters cover all side windows. The roof was replaced in 2022, the A/C system with full air purification was replaced in 2019, and the water filtration system was replaced in 2022.
Outside, the lanai and pool were completely rebuilt in 2018, and the pool is equipped with both an electric heater and a newer solar heating system so you are swimming in comfort year-round. Fire up the outdoor kitchen and enjoy everything Southwest Florida living is all about, whether it’s a quiet dinner under the stars or entertaining friends on a beautiful Florida evening. The exterior was freshly painted in 2024 and the landscaping was completely redesigned in 2025.
Shadow Wood at The Brooks is one of Southwest Florida’s most sought-after communities. A brand new Lifestyle Center is opening soon with a resort-style pool, zero-entry access, poolside dining, six indoor pickleball courts, and a Grab and Go Café. Optional memberships open the door to three championship 18-hole golf courses, nine Har-Tru tennis courts, bocce, and miles of landscaped paths. The Commons Club adds private beach access, a fully staffed fitness center, spa services, and a members-only restaurant.
You are just minutes from Coconut Point, Miromar Outlets, Gulf Coast Town Center, premier medical facilities, the white sand beaches of Southwest Florida, and RSW International Airport.
Homes with this combination of updates, views, storm protection, and lifestyle simply do not come available often.
