Water views, water softeners, and water features, this one's got you covered from every angle. Sitting equal distance from both Epperson and Mirada lagoons, this home backs up to 1,500 feet of protected nature preserve, delivering dual water views and front-row sunsets from your own backyard. Step inside to LVP flooring and matching baseboards throughout the entire bottom floor. The kitchen comes fully upgraded with a new dishwasher, stove, and microwave, while behind the scenes you'll find a tankless water heater, whole-home water softener with 3-stage filtration, and a reverse osmosis drinking system plumbed straight to the fridge and icemaker. A stacked GE front-load washer and dryer handles laundry day. Upstairs, a flex room and bedroom both got new windows to frame the nature preserve view. The real showstopper is out back: a 40'x26' screened patio with 13 feet of insulated roof, café LED string lights, and travertine pavers set the scene for a large hot tub with a lounger seat and an easy-open insulated cover. A doggie door built into the screen enclosure means the whole family's invited. The fully fenced yard has gates on both sides plus a paver walkway, and it's landscaped with foxtail palms front and back, white rock beds, and a weed barrier so it stays low-maintenance. French drains were added on both sides of the home to keep water where it belongs, outside, not pooling. The primary suite delivers a large bedroom and a shower with rain head plus hand and body spray functions. The garage adds two 4'x8' ceiling-mounted storage racks, bright hexagonal lighting, and carriage lights outside, and the driveway was widened on both sides for extra parking ease. Security is covered with wired cameras at the garage and front entry, plus a video doorbell (both reset and available upon request; otherwise disconnected once rented). This one was built to be lived in, and it shows. Wesley Chapel offers a setting that's hard to beat: just 25 miles north of downtown Tampa with easy I-75 access, Tampa International Airport under 30 minutes away, and Orlando's theme parks a straightforward 90-minute drive. Locally, The Shops at Wiregrass and Tampa Premium Outlets cover shopping and dining, Wesley Chapel District Park offers sports fields, playgrounds, and walking trails, and unique outings like the Giraffe Ranch and Adventure Island Water Park are a short drive away. AdventHealth Wesley Chapel and top-rated Pasco County schools round things out for families. Add in the neighborhood's own Epperson Crystal Lagoon and calendar of community events, and you've got small-town ease with big-city access.
