Those homes on the "lake"... are only waterfront as long as there is lots of rain to fill them! In the dry season - not so much water! But the view is lovely.

Re the garage - my guess is that it could easily be done - have seen some homes go through that process. When we first owned we had the rear carport area privacy screened with slider panels [could see out but could not see in from the street] and stored the golf cart there - leaving the car under the front carport area [we have a double length/2 car carport]. Eventually we added a separate golf cart on the back of the house and remade the screened carport area into a man cave. Our contractor took care of the permits/inspections/approvals and had no problem with architectural review or town of Lady Lake - easy peasy for us!
Thanks Beachbum. Highly important to know about the water level in the lake! May I ask what it cost to do the slider panels? Were they reasonably weather resistant? Can you give me the name or generic type of panel? Helpful post, thanks again.
