Spectacular verandah style home in the Homesteads of Saddlewood! As if it came straight off of the pages of Southern Living magazine, this “picture perfect,” custom designed and built is offered for sale for the first time. Lovingly appointed with careful attention to detail, the home offers fine finishes and amenities throughout. A wrap-around verandah beckons guests to “sit a spell” and enjoy a bit of Southern Hospitality. The Front Door, a double door with a transom window and tiffany glass, opens to a formal yet cozy Foyer. Soaring tray ceilings with crown moulding, and rich, Santos Mahogany flooring preview the fine appointments found throughout the home. Flanking the Foyer are the Formal Living and Dining Rooms. Tray ceilings with crown moulding are seen in each of these rooms along with plantation shutters and French Doors which “walk out” to the verandah. The gourmet Kitchen is sure to wow the culinary enthusiast. A gorgeous vent hood tops a gas, six-burner Thermidor range and the Kitchen Island offers additional prep space as well as a prep sink. The 2-drawer Fisher Paykel dishwasher handles the dirty work, and the cafe-style refrigerator is from the Kenmore Elite series. A GE Profile under cabinet microwave has been carefully placed, forming a secondary “kitchen triangle.” Wood cabinets with crown moulding and staggered fronts and tops flow through the Kitchen and into the Butler’s Pantry. The backsplash is travertine subway tile and the custom laid flooring is set in a Versailles pattern with accent tiles. A huge walk-in Pantry provides plenteous storage and Banquette seating in the Breakfast Nook adds “eat-in” Kitchen dining space. The Family Room features built-in shelving, a niche for an entertainment system, and a computer niche. The Owner’s Suite includes a large bedroom and bathroom. The Bedroom space has enough space for a sitting area at one end, while the Bathroom features a luxurious walk-in shower with two showerheads, and a large walk-in closet. Bedrooms 2 and 3 each have a full, en-suite bathroom with a shower and a walk-in closet. One of these bathrooms has a make-up vanity and closet access. Located near the Family Room, Bathroom 4 is the Guest Bathroom. It has a shower/tub combination and would be the Pool Bathroom if a pool were to be installed. Tile from this Bathroom flows into the hallway and to an entry door that leads onto the Lanai. The Lanai boasts tray ceilings and amazing conservation views, and the Outdoor Kitchen is pre-plumbed for gas. A few steps down from the Lanai is a 736 square foot, brick paver screened patio. Retractable screens at each of the doors on the verandah facilitate a refreshing cross-breeze through open doors and windows but tuck discreetly away when not in use. Located in the hallway, the oversized Laundry Room has an abundance of cabinets and a utility sink. Utility spaces include a 2 car garage and a shed. A propane-powered, “whole-house” standby generator powers nearly everything in the home except the A/C. Other gas-powered appliances include the water heater, dryer, and range. 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 Grove Theater/Bistro, Tampa Premium Outlets, Wiregrass Mall, and all that Wesley Chapel has to offer – with more coming soon.
