About This Home
MOTIVATED SELLERS & FINAL PRICE IMPROVEMENT!!! With stunning water views and unmatched outdoor access, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is a dream for anyone who enjoys waterfront living. The interior features a galley-style kitchen with granite countertops, wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a separate dry bar area with a bar refrigerator, and a convenient passthrough. The open-concept living and dining spaces flow seamlessly into an additional rear room—perfect for taking in the breathtaking view year-round.
Step outside to your own personal retreat: a saltwater pool with LED lighting, powered by a self-adjusting heat pump/chiller (2023), and a 3” deck drain (2025) for easy maintenance. The newly added covered outdoor area (2025) is fully wired with electricity and includes a sitting space, hot tub with electrical, and built-in fan for warm days.
This property has experienced no flooding or storm damage. Proactive lake management includes lowering the water level and opening locks to Tampa Bay before major weather events, minimizing flood risk.

Recent updates include new metal roof (2022), LED pool lighting (2022), Composite deck with lifetime warranty (2020), Water heater (2020), Electrical wiring for hot tub (2024). A full list of upgrades and features is available—there are simply too many to mention!
Enjoy optional access to the Lake Shore Estates private boat ramp—just 0.2 miles away—for $30/year. The community clubhouse is available for rental by members ($60 + $50 deposit), offering a full kitchen and indoor/outdoor lakefront space. Pet lovers will appreciate the neighborhood dog park, and golf cart owners will feel right at home with holiday parades and regular rides around the neighborhood. Come experience the Lake Shore lifestyle—where every day feels like a getaway.
