About this home

Some homes offer beautiful views. Others offer an exceptional lifestyle. This remarkable residence in the 55+ Valencia Lakes delivers both. Perfectly positioned on one of the community's most desirable pie-shaped waterfront homesites, this south-facing property captures panoramic lake views while overlooking the community center. Its ideal orientation creates the perfect balance, allowing the pool and lanai to enjoy sunshine throughout the day while helping the interior remain naturally comfortable with limited direct afternoon sun. A beautifully maintained tile roof, paver driveway, and charming tropical courtyard create an inviting first impression. This home has also been thoughtfully updated for peace of mind, with two brand-new A/C systems (both interior and exterior units): one installed September 2025, the second installed July 2026. Both are backed by a transferable 10-year warranty, giving the new owner years of worry-free comfort. Step inside and your attention is immediately drawn beyond the expansive living spaces to sparkling water views and the spectacular screened lanai, where a sport-style pool becomes the centerpiece of everyday living and entertaining. This thoughtfully planned residence offers two spacious bedroom suites, two-and-a-half baths, and a versatile den. The split-bedroom floor plan provides privacy for owners and guests alike, while the open-concept design creates an effortless flow between the kitchen, dining area, and great room. Triple tray ceilings, crown molding, upgraded lighting, and custom built-ins add timeless character throughout. The kitchen serves as the heart of the home, offering upgraded cabinetry with custom pull-out storage, two built-in double ovens, two refrigerators, workspace, and a sunny breakfast nook overlooking the lake, a peaceful setting to begin each morning. Just outside, a propane system supplies the gas grill, fire pits, and pool and jacuzzi heater, making outdoor entertaining effortless year-round. Privately situated at the rear of the home, the owner's retreat embraces the waterfront setting with beautiful lake views, direct access to the lanai, and dual custom walk-in closets. The spacious en-suite bath features separate vanities, a dedicated makeup station, and an expansive wall of mirrors. Across the home, the guest suite offers its own private bath. The flexible den easily serves as a home office, hobby room, fitness space, or potential third bedroom. Life in Valencia Lakes extends far beyond your front door. Residents enjoy a resort-inspired lifestyle centered around a 40,000-square-foot clubhouse and 40-acre waterfront recreation complex featuring resort and lap pools, tennis, pickleball, bocce, basketball, a fitness center, dog park, baseball field, community garden, and RV and boat storage. More than 100 acres of preserved natural landscape provide scenic beauty and abundant wildlife, while clubs, social events, and activities foster an active community. An on-site café serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, and seasonal specials adds convenience to everyday living. Furniture, including all patio furniture and grill, may be purchased separately and is negotiable. Ideally located with easy access to Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, championship golf, shopping, dining, and Tampa International Airport, this exceptional home offers one of Valencia Lakes' premier waterfront settings and the opportunity to enjoy one of Florida's most sought-after 55+ resort communities.
