Spectacular custom-designed home in The Homesteads of Saddlewood! Soaring tongue and groove ceilings with exposed roof trusses reach skyward through a long row of transom windows perched above sliding doors. Arranged in a gentle arc, these windows and doors create an amazing “theater of wildlife” and conservation views. Enjoy front-row seats to the “show” in the huge Great Room, a fire softly flickering in the gas fireplace in the background. Overlooking the Great Room is the Island Kitchen. Designed with the chef in mind, the position of the Kitchen maintains the openness of the floor plan while also affording the conservation views. Appliances include a “stainless steel” refrigerator, double ovens, a gas range, and a microwave range hood. Finishes include granite countertops and wood cabinets with 42″ uppers and pull-out drawers/shelves. A Breakfast Bar and a Breakfast Nook provide plentiful eating space in the Kitchen. Across the hall, the Formal Dining Room provides additional eating space. Here, Crown Moulding and accent lighting create a warm, inviting ambiance. Two generously sized bedrooms are located in the East Wing of the home. 8′ walk-out doors in Bedroom 2 lead out to the screened Lanai. A pocket door in the Hall Bathroom separates the Vanity Room from the water closet and the tub/shower area. At the West end of the Great Room, built-in shelves and a Dry Bar delineate the Great Room from the open Office/Den area. Working from home will be a bit more enjoyable as you watch deer, turkey, and other wildlife feed through your back yard while you work. The Owner’s Suite is located in the West Wing of the home. Vaulted ceilings give this large space even greater volume, and over-sized windows with transom windows above them bring in tons of natural light. Two closets provide ample storage and are supplemented by a linen closet in the Bathroom. The Owner’s Spa/Bathroom includes double lavatories, a Roman shower and separate garden tub, and a powder room. The finishes are granite countertops and wood cabinets. Nearby, the large Laundry Room features more storage cabinets, a utility sink, and a stowable ironing board. The under roof screened porch extends the living space into the outdoors. Features include vaulted ceilings and stub outs for an outdoor kitchen. A 51′ Open Porch stretches across the back of the home. A winding driveway leads to an over-sized, side entry, 3 car garage. The roof was replaced in 2011. The home is situated on 4.36 acres with a nicely manicured yard and acres of conservation land abutting the Hillsborough River Mitigation Bank – a nature lover’s paradise. The Homesteads of Saddlewood is a gated, deed-restricted equestrian community with deeded access to the Cypress Creek Preserve. Ride your horse or your bicycle, hike, run, or skate on miles of paved and unpaved trails. Located in Wesley Chapel just minutes from The Groves and Cinebistro, Tampa Premium Outlets, Wiregrass Mall and all that Wesley Chapel has to offer – with more coming soon. Don’t miss the show!
