This stunning custom-built waterfront home with a pool offers 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a 2-car garage, making it ideal for the most selective buyer. Located on a wide, easily accessible canal leading to spring-fed Lake Tarpon, it includes a covered boat lift and tandem jet ski lift. The chef’s kitchen boasts elegant maple cabinets, stainless-steel GE Profile appliances like a double oven, and premium level 3 granite countertops and island. Next to the kitchen, the cozy family room offers a stone-accented fireplace and built-in surround sound. The ground floor also has a game room with a bar, a guest/pool bathroom, a fifth bedroom with an office desk setup, and a formal dining room. Heading upstairs, a classic wooden staircase leads to an open loft with hardwood floors, three additional bedrooms, a laundry room, a secondary bathroom, and the master suite. The master suite includes a walk-in California closet, a garden tub, a separate shower, dual granite-topped vanities, and sliding doors to a balcony overlooking the pool and waterway. Built to last, the home features block and stucco construction reinforced by 50 pilings and enhanced 2X6 framing on the second floor. The saltwater pool has a new heat pump, and the property is fenced with a durable corrugated vinyl seawall. The spacious dock, with an aluminum bar fence, offers additional outdoor entertainment space. The two-car garage includes a 220-volt electric car charging station, and the home is powered by a full solar panel system on the roof. The garage also connects to the home through a climate-controlled utility room, while a solar panel-powered water heater and Kinetico whole-home water filtration system complete the package. This unique home is perfectly located near world-famous beaches, great shopping, two airports, top-rated schools, Tampa, historic St. Petersburg, and the scenic springs and wilderness of the Nature Coast. Lake Tarpon, the largest lake in the tri-county area, offers fantastic fishing, boating, jet skiing, tubing, and boat-accessible lakefront dining, along with a slalom course for water sports enthusiasts. The lake’s resistance to coastal flooding means flood insurance for this property is very affordable. Serving as both a family home and a lucrative short-term rental (earning $450-$579 a night as a 4-bedroom Airbnb, depending on the season), this property presents a rare chance to own a stunning, secure waterfront home. This sturdy residence remained dry and undamaged through the storms! Buyer’s agents are welcome.
