Welcome to an extensively renovated waterfront estate in Sweetwater, one of Tampa's premier private, gated communities. Positioned on a protected deep-water canal with direct access to Tampa Bay, this exceptional 5-bedroom, 4-bath residence combines spacious living, resort-style amenities, and an outstanding setup for boaters. The home has undergone a comprehensive transformation, including a completely remodeled kitchen, four renovated bathrooms, and luxury vinyl flooring throughout the lower level. The living room was reconfigured and remodeled in 2023, creating an improved layout for entertaining and featuring a custom minibar. Additional major improvements include a roof replaced in 2023, a new HVAC system installed in 2024, a new electrical panel installed in 2025, a replaced garage door, and fresh exterior paint. The grand foyer and soaring ceilings introduce a bright, expansive floor plan. At the center of the home is the newly remodeled kitchen, offering generous cabinetry, extensive counter space, oversized seating areas, and an effortless connection to the main living and dining spaces. A first-floor bedroom and full bathroom provide flexibility for guests or multigenerational living. The home also includes a bonus room currently configured as a fully equipped home gym. Upstairs are four additional bedrooms, including the primary suite, a junior suite, and two guest bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. The luxurious primary suite overlooks the water and includes a private covered balcony, an expansive custom-organized walk-in closet, and a fully remodeled spa-inspired bathroom completed in 2023. The bathroom features a deep soaking tub, oversized shower, and separate vanity areas. Situated on one of the largest lots in the community, the backyard has been designed as a private waterfront resort. The pool, constructed in 2022, features wireless controls, a sun shelf, waterfall and fountain features, color-changing LED lighting, bubbling seating, and swim-out shelves. An above-ground hot tub, tropical landscaping, expansive decking, and an outdoor kitchen installed in 2023 create an exceptional setting for relaxing or entertaining year-round. Two levels of covered wraparound porches provide generous outdoor living areas and multiple vantage points for enjoying the pool and waterfront. For boating enthusiasts, the property offers an oversized dock and two boat lifts rated at 13,000 and 10,000 pounds. With approximately 6-7 feet of water at low tide, the canal can accommodate larger boats while providing protected access to the open waters of Tampa Bay. Dolphins, manatees, and abundant fishing opportunities complete the waterfront experience. The rear-entry garage is accessed through a private pull-around driveway with an electronic gate, providing secure parking and an enclosed outdoor area for pets.
