Florida, Hillsborough County, Lutz, USA

This is the Florida pool home you've been waiting for-where comfort meets design, and every inch feels like home. Tucked away on nearly half an acre in one of Lutz's most exclusive guard-gated communities, this 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom stunner is all about space, style, and serenity. With a layout perfect for multi-gen living, entertaining, or just stretching out and living large, this home checks all the boxes. Inside, you're greeted by soaring ceilings, wide-open spaces, and luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the main living areas. The dining room is bright and airy, while the fully updated kitchen steals the show-think quartz countertops, sleek gray cabinetry with crown molding, a butcher-block buffet, stainless LG appliances (2024), wine fridge, statement lighting, a giant storage island, and a gorgeous pass-through to the living room, all lit by a warm skylight above. The family room brings the cozy with a wood-burning brick fireplace, rustic wood beam mantel, built-ins, and upgraded sliders that open wide to the outdoors. Whether it's a dinner party or a Netflix night, this space is made for connection. The split-bedroom layout is designed with versatility in mind. The primary suite features vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, plantation shutters, pool access, and a spa-inspired en-suite with marble counters, soaking tub, tiled shower, and a dreamy chandelier. An attached bonus room adds flexibility as a home office, 5th bedroom, nursery, or zen space. Two more bedrooms + a remodeled full bath sit behind a pocket door for extra privacy, and there's another tucked-away bedroom with its own poolside bath-ideal for teens, guests, or in-laws. A fifth bedroom near the primary is perfect for your next creative studio or office. Outside? Your own private oasis. A screened saltwater pool and spa with waterfall, covered lanai, ceiling fan, and lush fenced backyard await. The massive oak tree, gazebo, and shed (with concrete pad and hurricane straps) add both charm and function. There's a separate side yard for pets or play-and even space to park your boat. Upgrades include a newer roof (2021), NEW AC (2024), water heater (2018), mini-split A/C in the garage (2021), epoxy floors (2022), custom shelving, and a water softener system. All in a flood zone X-no flood insurance required. Located in the beloved Manors at Crystal Lakes, this home comes with all the perks: 24/7 gated security, tennis courts, a playground, and seasonal neighborhood events that bring the whole community together. Minutes from shopping, dining, the Veterans Expressway, I-275, Tampa Premium Outlets, and more. Homes like this don't come up often-especially not with this level of care, character, and space.
