Welcome to **Lake in the Woods**, one of Spring Hill’s most distinctive gated communities, where winding streets, mature trees, oversized homesites and custom homes create a setting that feels worlds away from the typical Florida subdivision. Set on approximately **0.67 acres**, this stately **two-story traditional Colonial-inspired brick home** offers more than 3,000 square feet of living space, a screened swimming pool and the privacy and breathing room that make this neighborhood so special. From the moment you arrive, the classic brick exterior, dramatic two-story arched entry and mature natural surroundings give the home a presence that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Inside, the approximately **3,046-square-foot** floor plan features **4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms and a versatile den that could serve as an office, study or potential fifth bedroom**. Formal living and dining spaces provide room for entertaining, while the comfortable family room with **wood-burning fireplace** creates a natural gathering place at the heart of the home. The kitchen offers an island and generous workspace, and the convenience of a full bathroom and flexible living space on the first floor makes the layout adaptable for guests, working from home or multi-generational needs. Upstairs, the private primary suite is joined by three additional bedrooms and another full bath, keeping the sleeping quarters comfortably separated from the main living areas. Step outside and the home takes on an entirely different personality. The **screen-enclosed in-ground gunite pool** and expansive pool area provide plenty of space for swimming, entertaining or simply enjoying Florida outdoors, while the oversized homesite extends well beyond the pool enclosure and is surrounded by mature trees and greenery. An attached **two-car garage**, generous driveway and substantial yard complete the property. But what truly sets this home apart is **Lake in the Woods itself**. This is a neighborhood you buy into as much for the setting as the house—a private, guard-gated community characterized by larger lots, established landscaping, custom architecture and a peaceful atmosphere rarely found in the middle of Spring Hill. Community amenities include recreational areas, playground facilities, pickleball and additional resident amenities, all while remaining convenient to shopping, dining, medical facilities and the many outdoor attractions of Florida’s Nature Coast. **7377 Royal Oak Drive is not a cookie-cutter Florida home on a postage-stamp lot—it is a substantial home on a substantial piece of property, in a community with a character all its own.** New ROOF, drain field, and HVAC done in 2020!!!
