About This Home

As of January 2025

Welcome to this beautiful, well-maintained 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom, 3-car garage pool home located in the desirable gated community of the Preserve at Lake Thomas in Land O Lakes. This 2,389-square-foot home is a must-see, offering a perfect blend of comfort and style. As you arrive, the welcoming front porch greets you warmly. Upon entering the home, your eyes are drawn to the conservation views through the sliders, showcasing the lush landscaping of the wetlands and lagoon just beyond the screened lanai. The versatile floor plan begins with a sitting room or den to the right and a formal dining room conveniently connected to the kitchen via a butler’s pantry featuring granite countertop and elegant glass-front shelving. The spacious kitchen boasts ample counter space, a raised breakfast bar, a closet pantry, a full appliance package, and both a dinette and eat-in breakfast nook. Open to the family room, the kitchen is ideal for entertaining, with sliders leading out to the screened lanai and pool area, where you can enjoy tranquil conservation views. The saltwater, heated pool and spa provide a private oasis for relaxation. The bright and airy master suite, located to the left of the home, offers direct access to the lanai. The en suite bathroom features a walk-in closet, Corian countertops, wood cabinets, dual sinks, a garden tub, and a separate walk-in shower. Ceramic tile flooring enhances the main living areas, while luxury vinyl plank adds warmth to the bedrooms. The secondary bedrooms are thoughtfully placed for added privacy and are conveniently located near the second and third full bathrooms. Recent updates include a new roof in 2021 and a new HVAC system in 2022. This home is hurricane-ready with a generator, transfer box, and shutters and neither the home nor the community experienced power outages or damage during Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The Preserve at Lake Thomas is a lakefront, gated community offering residents access to a boardwalk and gazebo overlooking tranquil Lake Thomas, perfect for fishing, kayaking, or paddle boarding. Conveniently located near US Highway 41, the Veterans Expressway, Suncoast Parkway, and I-75, this home is just a short drive to Tampa International Airport, downtown Tampa, the Ice Complex, shopping at Premium Outlets and Wiregrass Mall, dining, golf courses, and more. Schedule your private tour today to experience this exceptional home and community firsthand!
