972 Talquin Ave, Quincy, FL 32351

There's a road on Lake Talquin that dead-ends into something you have to see to believe. Over 400 feet of pristine water frontage. Craftsman-lodge elegance that stops buyers dead in their tracks. Nearly 3,500 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a resort-caliber outdoor compound that turns everyday living into a permanent vacation. This is 972 Talquin Ave, and it is not messing around. The outdoor compound alone is worth the drive. A double-slip boat house makes lake access effortless for boats or watercraft, a true rarity even on Lake Talquin. The property also includes a pole barn for extra outdoor storage. Beyond the water, an outdoor kitchen and shower keep lake days going from morning swim to evening cookout, while a firepit area sets the scene for golden-hour gatherings with water views as the backdrop. From the moment you arrive, stacked-stone columns, sage-green board-and-batten siding, and a standing-seam metal roof announce the craftsman-meets-lake-cottage character carried through every corner of the home. Step inside to rich hardwood floors flowing beneath a dramatic vaulted, tongue-and-groove wood ceiling that crowns the gourmet kitchen. White shaker cabinetry, a stainless French-door refrigerator, and a professional range surround a show-stopping island topped in dark exotic granite laced with dramatic gold veining. The open-concept dining and great room wrap around a stacked-stone fireplace beneath a wall of glass, framing uninterrupted lake views from nearly every angle. The primary suite feels like a private escape, with French doors that open onto a private balcony overlooking the water. The spa-inspired primary bath offers a separate soaking tub, a large walk-in shower, oil-rubbed bronze fixtures, and a built-in makeup vanity fit for a boutique hotel. A dedicated game room with a pool table, wet bar, and floor-to-ceiling lake-view glass makes this home an entertainer's dream, rounded out by a home gym, a spacious laundry suite, generac house generator, irrigated lawn and an oversized 3-car garage. This estate is one you truly do not want to miss.
