Welcome to this stunning Estero Bay home in the highly sought-after, double-gated side of Lucaya Lake Club — a resort-style community just one-third of a mile from PK-8 Collins Elementary. Offering 5 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a 3-car garage, and 3,092 sq. ft. of meticulously upgraded living space, this home truly has it all. From the moment you arrive, the premium lot impresses with a paver driveway, upgraded landscaping with concrete curbing, and integrated French drains. Step through the wrought iron glass front door into a grand interior with tile flooring throughout the first floor, soaring ceilings, 8-foot doors, and premium finishes. The open layout flows effortlessly from formal living and dining areas into a warm, inviting family room. The chef-inspired kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and extended cabinetry — perfect for a custom coffee bar or extra storage. A flexible first-floor bedroom serves equally well as a private home office or guest suite. Upstairs, a massive loft offers endless possibilities as a game room, media space, or second living area. The Owner's Suite is a true sanctuary with an elegant tray ceiling, two spacious walk-in closets, and a spa-like en-suite bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. Three additional generously sized bedrooms, a full bath, and a convenient laundry room complete the second floor. This home delivers comfort and serious savings: Paid-in-full solar system — activated January 2026, producing an average of 61 kWh/day (up to 81 kWh/day), saving $250+/month ($3,000+ annually) at current TECO rates; includes a 10-year craftsmanship warranty and 25-year panel production warranty. Upgraded 14" attic insulation, attic exhaust fan, and professionally tinted windows and doors for maximum climate control and a tankless water heater for endless hot water. Step outside to a fully fenced, expansive backyard built for year-round Florida entertaining. A sparkling saltwater pool with a brand-new salt cell (installed April 2026) anchors the space, complemented by a screened paver lanai with custom remote-controlled sun shades. The 3-car garage is fully loaded with epoxy flooring, overhead storage racks, and a utility sink. Hurricane shutters provide total peace of mind. Living in Lucaya Lake Club means a vacation lifestyle every day. Residents enjoy exclusive access to a 68-acre boatable lake, clubhouse, resort-style pool, splash pad, fitness center, and private beach area. Ideally located south of Tampa, you're just minutes from Apollo Beach, MacDill AFB, Tampa International Airport, and world-class Gulf Coast beaches.
