Private, spacious and open concept describes this one-story pool home nestled on a deep conservation lot in the gated golf community of East Lake Woodlands. This well-designed floor plan with 5 bedrooms plus den/office affords flexibility and extra space for those working from home or wanting the luxury of a bonus room, exercise space or other possibilities. Wind down at the end of the day or have morning coffee in privacy on your oversized front covered patio. Upon entry thru the double wood and etched glass doors, the living and dining rooms feature volume ceilings, transom widows and plantation shutters. The owners removed the soffits and overhead cabinets in the kitchen to enhance open flow to the family room. Large gatherings for family and friends are well suited for this sizeable kitchen measuring 23' x 21' with wood cabinetry, large breakfast bar, island, double ovens and granite countertops. The family room is appointed with custom cabinetry, glass sliders, plantation shutters and a wood burning fireplace. Relax and feel pampered in the large master suite with French doors and transom windows, two closets and spa-like master bath complete with double vanities with tower storage and quartz countertops, large soaking tub and walk-in shower. Lush landscaping adorns the front and back yards for a tropical feel along with a generously sized lanai complete with pavers, screen enclosure with super gutters and sparkling heated pool and spa. Other upgrades in 2022 include all new interior paint, Aqua Guard Performance Vanderbilt Manor waterproof laminate flooring installed with soundproofing throughout the home except for the tiled kitchen and bathrooms, new Kinetico water softener and dechlorinator, salt water pool system and ductwork for one of the two a/c units. This home has plenty of storage with numerous walk-in closets and extra cabinetry in the laundry room plus a wine fridge just off the kitchen! The spacious 3-car garage is 33' wide and the 3rd bay extends to 27' long for those larger items and even includes an outlet for electric car charging. Tile roof replaced in 2013, two A/C units replaced in 2019 and 2017 and tankless water heater in 2018. This home is in Flood Zone X so flood insurance is not required by most carriers and the irrigation system is on reclaimed water - so another savings! Plus enjoy a wide array of amenities with Ardea Country Club memberships featuring 2 championship golf courses, tennis and pickle ball, fitness center, 2 pools, dining and social events. All this in a premier location convenient to Tampa International Airport, A-rated schools, award winning beaches as well as professional sporting events, concerts, fine dining and more.
