creating an exceptional space for both everyday living and effortless entertaining.
The home also features elegant formal living and dining rooms, along with a private executive office or den. Rich wood finishes throughout add warmth, sophistication, and timeless character.
The luxurious primary suite serves as a private retreat with a spa-inspired bath featuring a soaking garden tub, walk-in shower, dual vanities, and an oversized walk-in closet. There is an additional closet separate from the walk-in closet, that is for that shoe and/or purse collection.
Upstairs, a spacious private suite with a full bath offers incredible flexibility as a sixth bedroom, guest retreat, executive office or nanny quarters.
The generously sized secondary bedrooms each offer ample closet space and convenient access to multiple full bathrooms, making the layout ideal for everyone, multigenerational living, or hosting guests.
Step outside to your own backyard oasis featuring a screened paver lanai, sparkling pool, expansive entertaining areas, and a cozy fire pit surrounded by landscaping that provides exceptional privacy and a peaceful setting for relaxing or gathering.
The interior and exterior paint have been updated. The engineered hardwood floors throughout are only four years old. One of the three AC's were replaced in late 2024, one is 2025 and the main AC was replaced this year. The lightweight concrete tile roof was recertified in 2025. The pool screen enclosure was replaced three years ago with heavy duty golf ball resistant screen. This smart home includes whole house audio with Wi-Fi boosters throughout.

Just 20 minutes north of Tampa, and approximately one hour from Orlando, world-renowned beaches, and major attractions, this extraordinary community is truly one of Florida's hidden gems. Residents enjoy an optional country club lifestyle with two golf courses, while being just minutes from I-75, top-rated hospitals, shopping, dining, excellent school, and the charm of historic downtown Dade City.
This exceptional estate offers the perfect blend of luxury, privacy, and timeless elegance in one of Central Florida's gated golf communities. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a truly remarkable home.
