Located 16 miles east of downtown Tampa, 42 miles east of Gulf Beaches, and 60 miles west of Disney, this gorgeous, custom-built, 6-bedroom, 6-bathroom Southern estate tucked away on a peaceful 2.51-acre conservation lot. Built with commercial-grade construction by a former commercial builder/developer, this private compound offers true luxury, multi-gen living potential, and ultimate flexibility. Designed for seamless entertaining, the home greets you with a soaring staircase and an elegant, electronically operated chandelier. To the right, the formal living room provides a graceful pass-through to the family room, while the formal dining room to the left is perfectly situated for holiday gatherings. The chef’s kitchen features an island with cabinets, a gas cooktop, double wall ovens, and high-end stainless appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator. The butler’s pantry adds convenience for hosting, and the walk in pantry affords a family lots of space for non perishables. The airy family room serves as the heart of the home, boasting a wood-burning and gas fireplace, custom built-ins, and double sets of French doors leading to the lanai. Nearby, the expansive primary suite serves as a private retreat with pool access, a jacuzzi tub, dual vanities, two water closets, and two large walk-in closets. The first floor also includes a secondary bedroom with a full bath that doubles as a pool bath, a powder room and a functional laundry room equipped with extra cabinetry. The second level features four spacious bedrooms—one with a private bath and two sharing a Jack-and-Jill bathroom—alongside an office/den, a laundry chute, a cedar closet and a massive bonus room complete with a bar area and half bath. Outside, the brick-paved lanai overlooks an extraordinary pool and jacuzzi, offering a front-row seat to the conservation lot for bird watching and enjoying nature. Professional-grade infrastructure defines this property, featuring full height concrete block exterior, an attached 4-car side-entry garage & a detached, air conditioned 2-car garage with insulated doors, pre-plumbed for a potential in-law suite. The home is built with "commercial grade" bones, including red oak floors, crown molding, 10-foot ceilings, top-of-the-line Andersen double-pane windows & a central vacuum. Modern efficiencies abound with 4 AC units (1st & 2nd floor replaced in 2017 & 2021), R32 insulation, pest tubes in the walls, provisions for an in-floor safe in the office & programmable recirculation pumps for instant hot water. For the tech-savvy buyer, the entire house is wired with CAT-5 cable & a multi-room music system with individual volume controls, plus dedicated home theater wiring in the family room, primary bedroom, and bonus room. Practical amenities include a deep well for irrigation, a 2,000-gallon septic tank, a 250-gallon buried propane tank, & a water softener with a reverse osmosis filter. The roof was replaced in 2020. Security is paramount, with all windows and doors, including garage overheads, hardwired for a security system. Bring your RV as there is an electrical circuit hook up on side of the detached garage. Situated "high and dry" with a finished floor slab one foot above Dover Road, the estate offers exceptional curb appeal with a brick paved circular drive, classic red brick, and charming blue shutters that make this home as inviting as it is robust. What else? Located just minutes from shopping, dining and schools and Golf courses.
