This MOVE-IN READY, NEARLY NEW HOME is located in the newly established, highly sought-after lagoon community of Southshore Bay with convenient access to I-75 and an easy drive to several Tampa Bay and west coast beaches. Originally purchased to be a second home, the owner’s circumstances changed making this a unique opportunity for you to be part of this fabulous community with immediate move-in availability. No need for you to wait months for new construction, this home is ready for you now! Community highlights are the peaceful, beautifully landscaped, golfcart-friendly pathways, a dog park, and this home is walking distance to the world famous 5-acre crystal blue Lagoon that offers beach, water slides, kayaking, paddle boarding, a floating obstacle course, swim-up bar, and other entertainment options. This Preferred Series, upgraded DR Horton HOLDEN model is a spacious, lakefront open-concept home featuring four bedrooms and three full baths, with the convenience of one of the bedrooms and a full bath located on the main floor. Also on the main floor is not only a great room/dining room, but an additional flex room off the large foyer. There are granite and cabinet upgrades throughout plus LED disc lights and Smart Home Ultra Fi technology. There are multiple closets for storage including a roomy under-stairs storage closet and a storage nook near the entry door from the garage, suitable for a 2nd refrigerator or for making into a “drop zone”. The beautiful kitchen features granite countertops, 42-inch upgraded wood cabinets, a sizable island with a sink, and both a large butler’s pantry/dry bar with storage and a large walk-in pantry. The kitchen flows into the great room, dining area, and out to a covered “picture window style” screened-in lanai overlooking the backyard and lake to let you enjoy sunset views. On the second floor, the central, large bonus room sets apart the master bedroom suite from two other bedrooms, bathroom, and laundry. The expansive master suite has its own lake view sitting room and-not kidding-an enormous walk-in closet that also conveniently opens to the 2nd floor large laundry room that is pre-plumbed for a sink. The master bathroom has upgraded granite and cabinets, an oversized walk-in shower, a separate garden soaking tub, and a private water closet. The home is concrete block construction for BOTH 1st and 2nd floors and also comes equipped with custom storm shutters.NOTE: Furnishings are nearly new and are negotiable.
