* HIGHLY SOUGHT-AFTER LOCATION * RARELY AVAILABLE FLOORPLAN * Welcome to Esplanade of Tampa, where every day can feel like vacation. Driving down the tree lined streets to this RESORT-LIKE, ACTIVE LIFESTYLE COMMUNITY you will notice the elegant, gated entry. Entering a beautifully maintained & luxuriously landscaped community, immediately sets one at ease while offering homeowners maintenance free living, at its finest. This meticulously cared for Taylor Morrison, Single Family Home-The 2/2 ½ Sophia Plan- sits on a gorgeous preserve lot, with partial water views and offers a level of peace and quiet that feels like it should be impossible, while being so close to all the conveniences of New Tampa and Wesley Chapel. As you enter through the front door, you will instantly notice the soaring 10ft ceilings, 12 ft high within the double-crown finished trays, leading you down the foyer and hallway, and then carried throughout the home into the dining, living and master bedroom. If you love to cook, then this upgraded chef’s kitchen has it all!! Wall oven, a gas cooktop, & cabinets for days - even on both sides of the expansive granite topped island- not to mention pot drawers, for thoughtful storage of those heavier implements. One of the best thing about this stunning kitchen is that it opens out into the living space, keeping everyone connected…the true heart of the home! With the wall of 8 ft glass pocket sliders, that fully disappear, you can bring the inside out and the outside in! Perfect for entertaining, or simply enjoying the evening air with a book and a glass of wine or tea. Soaking up the evening air while looking out at the preserve and nearby pond, peace and serenity are yours! Let the pups or “littles” run around the tastefully fenced in back yard, if they didn’t get enough playtime at the community dog park or the state-of-the-art amenity center. Cookout, on your plumbed gas grill, while dining alfresco. With tile floors throughout the living spaces and luxury vinyl plank flooring in the bedrooms, if a little dirt gets tracked in, cleaning is a breeze. The master bedroom has huge bay-windows looking out at the preserve, offering a sense of serenity and privacy that is exquisite. The closet…oh the closet!! The owners lovingly finished out all the closets with custom cabinetry, but the master closet is a showstopper. Featuring 96 in cabinets with soft close shaker style & frosted glass fronted doors and drawers, valet rods, and shelving…everything has a place! You’ll find the same care was taken with the closet in the guest suite, on the other side of this split plan. The den has been turned into a 3rd bedroom with built in closets as well, but it could just as easily be modified into a built-in office space or library. Architectural lighting added to wow nighttime visitors! Park your cars in the 2-car garage or leave them in the paver driveway, filling the garage with toys. Not a lot of toys needed, with all this community has to offer! The 5000 Square foot Club House offers residents the ability to be as active or relaxed as they’d like. Monthly planned activities for those that would like to join… clubs, outings, and plentiful opportunities to get involved. With a 24- hour fitness Center, Fire-Pit, Bocce, Tennis & Pickleball Courts and 2 dog parks…there truly is something for everyone!! Best of all, enjoy all these amenities with NO CDD and a reasonable HOA. Whether a year-round resident or looking for a second home, this is it!
