There are homes that look good on paper, and then there are homes that just make sense when you look at the bigger picture: space, condition, layout, outdoor features, and location. This listing in Chapel Lake Estates isn't trying to be trendy or brand new. But it's clean, solid, and has the big stuff already done. For $825K west of I-75, that's getting harder to find.

Highlights:

A move in ready home that doesn't feel like a renovation project
The expensive stuff is already taken care of: new roof, newer AC, updated appliances. That's tens of thousands saved in deferred maintenance and peace of mind from day one.

A real 5 bedroom layout with good interior flow
All bedrooms are upstairs, including a reconfigured, oversized primary suite. It's a smart use of space that gives separation between living and sleeping areas without weird add ons or conversions.

A pool without stretching to $1M+
Plenty of new homes west of I-75 skip the pool altogether or price it into the $1.2M range. This one already has it and leaves you with budget to improve or personalize as needed.

A consistent, HOA managed community in a convenient west Pines location
Chapel Lake Estates is one of those neighborhoods where inventory doesn't sit long. It offers wide streets, sidewalks, and proximity to major routes, retail, and parks without the premium that comes with waterfront or golf course communities.

At $261/sqft, this home is priced under what we're seeing for similar homes in the area, especially those with a pool and major system upgrades already done. It's not the flashiest home on the market, but it's a smart, strategic buy in a part of Pembroke Pines that continues to hold long term value.
