About This Home
As of April 2026One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Welcome to an exceptional custom-built estate in the exclusive, gated Community of Darby Lakes. Set on an oversized Lake front lot, this elegant 4-bedroom, 3-bath home offers timeless craftsmanship, generous living spaces, and serene views—all designed for luxurious Florida living.
A beautifully landscaped front yard and charming front porch create a warm welcome. Inside, the home flows seamlessly through a split floorplan with formal living and dining rooms, an expansive great room with a wood-burning fireplace, and French doors that invite natural light throughout. Plantation shutters, refined finishes, and a bright open design elevate every space.
The chef’s kitchen is truly inspiring, featuring a gas cooktop, stainless steel appliances, built-in oven and microwave, abundant cabinetry, and a spacious breakfast nook overlooking the tranquil oversized yard and Natural water views. Perfect for everyday living or entertaining.
The lavish primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with an oversized bedroom, a cozy reading or relaxation area, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-style bath with a soaking tub and walk-in shower. Additional bedrooms are generously sized and thoughtfully positioned for privacy.
Practical upgrades include HVAC (2015), roof (2019), exterior paint (2022), in wall pest system, natural gas, an oversized 3-car garage with exceptional storage, and a well-appointed laundry room with utility sink. **(Although the public records show this property has .57ths of an acre, via the sellers purchase contract and personal knowledge the Lot was actually sold as a Full 1-acre Lot.)**
Darby Lakes is a quiet, upscale community offering a fishing pier, nearby boat launch, and convenient access to Tampa, MacDill AFB, major highways, and world-class beaches. With NO CDD and low HOA, this remarkable residence is a rare opportunity in one of the area’s most desirable gated neighborhoods.
Experience luxury, comfort, and waterfront living at its finest.
