4 Beds ⋅ 3 Baths ⋅ Lake Sylvan Cove SubDv. ⋅ 32771 Zip Code

Along the shores of Sylvan Lake, this four-bedroom, three-bath home offers wide water views and plenty of wildlife right outside the window. Built in 1993 and fully updated in 2018, it received new plumbing, a new roof and a new HVAC system with all new ductwork. The family room and kitchen were reworked into an open layout, and the update list continues with new fixtures, floors and baths, a refinished pool, and an enlarged, extended pool screen with a bigger paver deck. The heavy lifting has been done, so the next owner can spend their time enjoying the lake instead of fixing up the house. Inside, the craftsmanship shows. Travertine floors, solid custom wood cabinetry and granite counters run throughout. The living room could easily work as a home office, while the great room and kitchen have tall ceilings and views that lead straight out to the water. The primary suite shares those same lake views and opens to a bath with a travertine shower fitted with multiple jets, plus a separate soaking tub. Bedrooms two, three and four sit on other side of the house along with the remaining baths, one of which opens right onto the pool. Outside, a large, retractable and panoramic screen enclosure covers the paver pool deck, lanai and summer kitchen, making it an easy spot for entertaining or just everyday time with family. Sit by the fire pit and watch for wildlife, or take the boat out onto Sylvan Lake, 193 acres known for skiing and good fishing, one of the larger lakes in Seminole County for either. Lakeside living is what people move to Florida for, and Sylvan Cove is the only community in the area with its own private boat launch. Bring water toys. This is the good life, lakeside.

This page tracks what homes in Lake Sylvan Cove actually sold for over the last twelve months, how long they took, and what moved the price. It is built from 3 verified closed sales in the Stellar MLS feed, not from public estimates. Every figure is a net-of-concessions number, which is explained at the bottom. Updated September 2026.

Read this one loosely. Fewer than eight homes closed here in the last year, so every median on this page rests on a small sample and can swing on a single sale.

What homes sold for in Lake Sylvan Cove

$558,000Median sale price

$247Median per square foot

69 daysMedian days to contract

3Homes sold in 12 months

Sale prices ran from $525,000 to $690,000, which is a wide spread and the reason a single neighborhood median is a starting point rather than an answer.

By size

Home size	Sales	Median price	Median $/sq ft	Median days
2,000 to 3,000 sq ft	3	$558,000	$247	69 days

Larger homes usually show a lower price per square foot. That is normal and it is why a price per foot taken from the whole neighborhood should never be applied straight to one house.

Homes priced right sold far faster

Median days to go under contract. Shorter is better.

Never reduced 1 sales, closed at 99.1% of asking10 days

Reduced at least once 2 sales, closed at 98.2% of the reduced price139 days

Sellers who priced correctly and held their number went under contract in a median 10 days. Sellers who had to reduce took 139 days and still closed at 98.2% of their already reduced price, after a typical cut of $18,000. Opening high costs time and money, in that order.

Seller concessions

33%Of sales included a seller credit

$10,000Typical credit when there was one

1 of 3Sales carrying a credit

A seller credit covers part of the buyer's closing costs and comes off the seller's proceeds, so the headline sale price overstates what the seller kept. Budget for it if you are selling, and ask for it if you are buying.

How buyers paid

Conventional 2 sales67%

Cash 1 sales33%

Cash was 33% of purchases. A high cash share means a seller has buyers who do not depend on an appraisal, and a buyer using a loan is competing against offers that can close faster.
