Welcome to 1808 Sandy Lake Drive! This 2001-build by Imperial Homes showcases a beautiful brick and stone two-story elevation with charming shutters, manicured landscaping, lighting, sprinklers, and mature trees on a premiere lakefront lot in Friendswood Lakes.
A double-wide driveway reaches around the right side of the home to the 3-car attached garage with keystone accents above the bay doors and garage door openers on all doors. A rear entrance to the home is conveniently located just beyond.
A stunning Austin limestone finish frames the covered front porch and contrasts beautifully with the traditional red brick elevation. Warm lighting and freshly mulched flowerbeds create an inviting feel as you approach the entrance to the home.
A solid mahogany door with an oval-shaped leaded glass insert opens to reveal this freshly repainted floorplan with a soaring 18' two-story ceiling, handsome wood floors, generously sized rooms, and a sweeping staircase in the foyer.
To the left of the foyer, French doors allow for privacy and concentration in this flexible-use home office or formal living space that boasts continued wood floors, triple crown and chair rail molding, and a trio of front-facing palladium arched windows.
Just beyond the study, this inviting dining room features a wide entrance, fresh neutral paint, ornate crown, chair rail, and picture frame moldings, continued wood floors, a 5 light scrolled iron chandelier, side-facing windows, and direct access to the adjoining kitchen.
At the heart of the home, you'll find a spacious family room with a soaring two-story ceiling, recessed lighting, a lighted ceiling fan, fresh neutral paint, lighted art niches, built-in cabinetry, surround sound wiring, and a lovely gas log fireplace with a slate tile surround.
Looking the other direction in the family room, note the seamless transition into the island kitchen, with breakfast bar seating or a pass-through serving bar available. A wall of rear-facing windows showcases incredible pool views with the lake just beyond.
The island kitchen was made with entertaining in mind! You'll find an abundance of natural stained cabinetry with black hardware to coordinate with the sleek black granite countertops and the tile backsplash installed on the diagonal for added interest.
The cook of the family is certain to appreciate the roomy corner pantry, as well as the all stainless appliances that include a gas cooktop with downdraft ventilation, a convection oven, a built-in microwave, a wine fridge, and a concealed control dishwasher.
Tucked at the far end of the kitchen, there is a built-in buffet or home organization station along the far wall. Beneath the lighted ceiling fan, you'll find space for a table atop the durable tile floors, with a large window offering pool and lake views.
Secluded on the first floor, the octagonal-shaped master suite boasts handsome wood floors, recessed lighting, crown molding, a lighted ceiling fan, a private French door exit to the patio & pool, and space for a seating area beneath the bay window with lake views.

Upstairs, you'll find a generously sized game room with an elevated gambrel ceiling, recessed lighting, a lighted ceiling fan, fresh neutral paint, freshly cleaned carpeting, and a decorative trio of windows with a palladium arched sunburst topper.
In an alcove on one side of the game room, there is a bonus space that would be perfectly suited for a comfortable media space or a hobby room. The door in the corner leads to an easily accessible walk-in decked attic space.
The first of three secondary bedrooms in this home features an elevated gambrel ceiling with a lighted ceiling fan, neutral paint and carpeting, a generous walk-in closet, a shared Jack & Jill style bathroom, and a front-facing window shaded by 2-inch blinds.
