Finally, you can have your LAKE and SKI it too. Located in the GATED neighborhood of Grand Cypress on Lake Tarpon we present a stunning SINGLE STORY retreat highlighted by a private backyard with pool, spa & outdoor kitchen. Exclusive access to the community boat ramp and daytime boat slips means year round enjoyment of the largest freshwater lake (5,200 acres) in Pinellas County -- a top 10 bass lake in the state of Florida. Inside, your heart will sing at the sight of 10 foot trey ceilings and timeless millwork like crown molding, wainscoting & tall baseboards. This 2015 built home offers an open, yet intelligent floor plan throughout: a front facing large office with wood stained glass french doors (which could be used as a 4th bedroom); a formal dining room and adjacent powder room - both with elegant white wainscoting; a butler's pantry with passage through to an open concept kitchen built for entertaining. Here you'll find a glamorous island with upgraded granite worthy of any family gathering, gas range with vent hood, upgraded GE stainless steel kitchen appliances, upgraded solid wood cabinets, glass tile backsplash and a large walk-in pantry. Wood-look tile floors adorn the main living spaces and flow into the family room which is highlighted by a shiplap accent wall, trey ceilings, built-in surround sound system & ultra luxe electric fireplace with remote control. Flanking the family room is a built in workstation with granite tops ideal for homework, crafts or the occasional virtual home office. The ideal split configuration offers 2 junior bedrooms with a shared full bath down the middle corridor and a pool facing Primary Suite. Owners, you'll enjoy an expansive sanctuary with trey ceilings and ample room for a spacious sitting area, yoga mat or Peloton. Your spa inspired master bathroom features an oversize shower with 2 shower heads, dual sink vanity with marble counter, separate water closet, linen closet and a large, walk-in closet with customizable shelving. Off the main living area, triple sliders open out to the private rear covered patio with heated, saltwater pool and spa, custom built in outdoor grill area with seating, and plenty of space for an outdoor living area…..all under a screened lanai.
