Imagine sipping a mango margarita in the shade of your own lush mango tree — welcome home. This stunning 6-bedroom, 4-bathroom (includes a casita!) waterfront retreat in the coveted Portofino subdivision of Monarch Lakes delivers soaring ceilings, an open-concept layout, and a gourmet kitchen with tall custom cabinetry flowing into the living area. Step outside to your private deck with retractable awning, shaded by a magnificent fruit-bearing mango tree — backyard bliss at its finest. Upscale shopping and dining are minutes away, and you're perfectly nestled between Miami and Fort Lauderdale — close enough to enjoy it all, peaceful enough to exhale. Easy I-75 access completes the picture. Your lakefront paradise awaits.
