Welcome to your private Oasis! The place you come home to, when you want to get away! This serene privacy and tropical landscaping does exactly that. Nestled away on a quiet double cul-de-sac in the exclusive double-gated Deerpath subdivision of East Lake Woodlands, this spacious 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom pool home offers nearly 3,300 square feet of upgraded living space with unmatched privacy and versatility. Surrounded by lush landscaping and backing to a serene 1-acre protected conservation lot, it's easy to feel like you're miles away - yet you're just minutes from top-rated schools, beaches, parks, and Tampa International Airport. Updates include a BRAND NEW ROOF, installed in 2025 (GAF shingles with transferable warranty), and the AC units were replaced in 2019 and 2020. The home's thoughtful layout features soaring ceilings, a dedicated office, and a bonus room, offering endless flexibility for today's lifestyle. The primary suite can be located on either the first or second floor, with the downstairs suite offering private access to the pool bath - ideal for an in-law suite or multigenerational living. The main upstairs primary boasts two large walk-in closets, with options to expand into the adjacent 22' x 15' space above the garage to create a massive custom closet, home office, or private retreat. The kitchen was fully remodeled in 2023 with quartz countertops, an upgraded stainless steel appliance package, custom backsplash, and breakfast nook, seamlessly connecting to the family room. Throughout the house, you'll find abundant storage, including several unique unfinished spaces that offer exciting potential. Between the family room and downstairs suite, one nook previously housed a built-in TV and could be transformed into a climate-controlled wine cabinet or saltwater aquarium with power already in place. Another cozy corner is currently used as a reading nook, but could easily become a pet hideaway or under-stairs crate space. Enjoy the Florida lifestyle in your screened-in private pool and large brick-paver patio with outdoor bar. The pool features a 2024 heater and pump, and includes a salt system for easy maintenance. Additional highlights include a 2.5-car garage - ideal for a gym or golf cart parking - a fenced backyard perfect for outdoor activities or furry friends to run safely, a SWAT termite system, and beautiful exterior landscape lighting. And zero flooding issues from recent hurricanes. East Lake Woodlands is known for its natural beauty and vibrant lifestyle. Optional membership to the Ardea Country Club gives you access to two golf courses, 17 tennis courts, pickleball, two resort-style pools, a fitness center, dining, and year-round social events. Turn-key and move-in ready, this home delivers the rare combination of peace, space, and convenience.
