The expansive backyard provides room to relax or entertain while taking in peaceful lake views. Whether hosting a sunset dinner or enjoying a quiet morning coffee by the lake, this setting delivers the Florida lifestyle at its finest.
Practical features elevate everyday living, including a whole-house on-demand generator, newer mechanical systems, and a three-car garage with abundant storage. Located in a private, gated setting yet only a short drive to Tampa, this home offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience.
Every detail, from the stone finishes to the integrated sound system, reflects thoughtful design and enduring quality.
