A pavered front porch and stately double door entry welcome you into a soaring foyer with tall ceilings and gleaming wood floors that flow throughout much of the first floor. Designed with both elegance and versatility in mind, the formal dining room makes a dramatic statement and can easily be reimagined into dual living spaces. The heart of the home is a stunning gourmet kitchen adorned with granite countertops, a spacious island, gas cooktop with stainless steel burners, built-in double oven, breakfast bar, and rich maple cabinetry—all opening seamlessly into a bright and airy living room framed by a four-panel sliding glass wall that opens completely for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining. A charming breakfast nook with custom built-ins offers a cozy spot for morning coffee. The split bedroom layout offers privacy and function, with all bedrooms on the main level, including a serene primary suite featuring dual walk-in closets, a luxurious bath with granite-topped dual vanities, separate tub, and dual-head shower, and private glass door access to the lanai. Upstairs, a plushly carpeted staircase leads to a generous flex space currently serving as a game room—with a pool table that conveys—featuring French doors to a private balcony overlooking peaceful wooded views, floor-to-ceiling drapery, and an adjoining bar/media room with double doors for added privacy. For convenience, the upstairs also has a half bathroom. The home is wired with built-in speakers offering individual room volume control, and recent upgrades include a brand-new roof (April 2025) with transferable warranty, newer AC system, high-impact hurricane-rated windows on the first floor (also with transferable warranty), and a Culligan water filtration system. The screened, two-story lanai features both covered and open-air spaces, elegant curtain partitions, and multiple access points from the living room, primary suite, and guest bath—leading out to a beautifully landscaped, fenced yard with a fire pit and mature trees offering shade and serenity. Located in the exclusive Stonegate community, residents enjoy access to a resort-style pool, elegant clubhouse, state-of-the-art fitness center, playgrounds, a peaceful catch-and-release fishing lake, and low-maintenance living with HOA-covered landscaping, cable, gated entry, virtual gate guard, and exterior maintenance. Just 4 miles from the Suncoast Expressway, commuting to Tampa or coastal destinations is effortless, while local attractions such as Tampa Premium Outlets (10 miles), the Land O' Lakes Recreation Complex (5 miles), and Starkey Wilderness Park (12 miles) provide abundant options for shopping, recreation, and nature exploration. This is more than a home—it's a lifestyle.
