Imagine pulling into the quiet cul-de-sac of Keystone Ridge, an exclusive gated community where this stunning home awaits. The brick-paver driveway and walkway lead to an inviting 8-foot front door, hinting at the elegance that lies within. Across the street, serene green space ensures privacy and a tranquil view. In the back, Lake Whitesell sparkles, and the Pinellas Trail beckons for evening strolls or morning bike rides—accessible by a private side walkway with a locked gate.
Step inside, and you’re greeted by an airy entry foyer with soaring tray ceilings. An arched passage draws you into the heart of the home: a massive great room with a tray ceiling and four sliding glass panels that pocket into one. These doors seamlessly connect the indoors to the screened lanai and lush backyard, creating a perfect flow for entertaining or relaxing as you soak in the lake views and stunning sunsets.
The great room opens effortlessly to a chef’s dream kitchen. A colossal granite island, complete with pendant lighting and seating, commands the space, offering the perfect spot for casual meals or conversation. Gleaming stainless-steel appliances, including a gas cooktop and warming drawer, make meal prep a breeze, while solid wood cabinets with rollout shelves and deep drawers ensure everything has its place. A large walk-in pantry provides even more storage. As you prepare dinner, take in the views through the windows that surround the adjoining dining room, where another tray ceiling adds a touch of elegance.
The home’s layout offers the perfect balance of openness and privacy. The primary suite feels like a retreat, tucked away in its own corner. Plush carpeting, a tray ceiling, and sliding doors to the lanai create a sanctuary-like atmosphere. Step into the en suite bath and discover a spa-like haven with a walk-in shower, a garden tub for soaking, split vanities with granite countertops, and dual walk-in closets.
From the foyer, a separate hallway leads to two spacious bedrooms, each sharing a beautifully appointed full bath with a tub-shower combo, granite counters, and solid wood cabinetry. A fourth bedroom, featuring a walk-in closet, is versatile enough to serve as an office or guest suite, with a third full bath conveniently located nearby.
Every detail of this home is designed with functionality and style in mind. The laundry room, accessed through a pocket door, offers a stainless-steel utility sink, granite counters, wood cabinets, and two large closets for extra storage. One bay of the garage has been transformed into a fabulous workshop, which could be a climate controlled home for your your collector or sports car, complete with a mini-split system for year-round comfort. Whether you’re tackling a DIY project or indulging in a hobby, this space is a craftsman’s dream. Just off the oversized 3.5-car garage, the mudroom keeps life organized with built-in bench seating, shoe cubbies, a shiplap wall with coat hooks, and storage cubes—perfect for active families.
Step outside to the screened lanai, where the peacefulness of the lake and the vibrant hues of the setting sun invite you to linger. Whether you’re hosting friends, enjoying a quiet evening, or heading out for a walk along the Pinellas Trail, this home offers the perfect backdrop for your life’s moments. This executive home is more than a property—it’s a lifestyle. Schedule a private tour and experience its beauty and charm for yourself. Not in a flood zone.
