A rare offering in the heart of East Lake, this extraordinary golf course home was originally built as the showcase for the Tarpon Woods community, thoughtfully designed to highlight the finest craftsmanship, architectural details, and luxury features available within the development. Situated on two oversized lots totaling nearly half an acre, the property enjoys sweeping golf course views, a natural preserve backdrop, and frequent visits from deer and local wildlife, creating a setting that feels both private and picturesque. From the moment you enter the dramatic foyer, you'll appreciate the home's unique design, which seamlessly wraps around the resort-style outdoor living area. Plantation shutters throughout add timeless elegance, while the spacious floor plan offers an exceptional blend of sophistication and functionality. Designed for entertaining on a grand scale, the impressive 24' x 24' gathering room features a stunning coffered beam ceiling, custom built-ins, media center, and a luxurious cherry wood wet bar. Rich oak flooring flows through the formal living room and elegant columned dining area, while a private home office provides a quiet space for work or study. The expansive kitchen and family room serve as the heart of the home, showcasing soaring vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, custom built-ins, center island, abundant cabinetry, and granite surfaces throughout. Whether hosting large gatherings or enjoying everyday living, the space was designed to bring family and friends together. A private bonus room with a full bath is tucked above the grand gathering room, offering endless possibilities as a guest retreat, fitness studio, media room, game room, yoga space, or private suite for extended family and visitors. The spacious primary suite offers a spa-inspired bath with split vanities, a relaxing garden tub, and a separate glass-enclosed shower. Three additional bedrooms feature generous closets, custom built-ins, and charming architectural details. Outdoor living is nothing short of spectacular. The screened paver lanai surrounds a PebbleTec pool with a cascading waterfall feature, creating a true backyard retreat overlooking the fairways of Tarpon Woods Golf Course. Whether entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet evening under the stars, this outdoor oasis was designed to be enjoyed year-round. Additional highlights include three newer HVAC systems with extended warranties, an oversized side-entry three-car garage, expanded parking, and a low-maintenance lifestyle with HOA services that include lawn care, shrub maintenance, sidewalks, cable service, and access to the community pool. Ideally located near top-rated East Lake schools, John Chesnut Sr. Park, Lake Tarpon, boat ramps, playgrounds, dog parks, shopping, dining, and Gulf Coast beaches, this one-of-a-kind residence combines exceptional craftsmanship, resort-style amenities, and an unparalleled setting to create a truly remarkable Florida lifestyle. This is more than a home—it's one of Tarpon Woods' signature properties.
