Room to Grow. Space to Breathe. Life Behind the Gates. This captivating 4-bedroom, 3-bath Mediterranean executive home sits on nearly half an acre at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, and it was built for the family that refuses to compromise. Picture it: bikes and gear tucked into the 3-car garage, an oversized driveway with a dedicated parking pad, and a spectacular, sprawling yard with outdoor space that most buyers only dream about. A private open brick-paved courtyard frames the front entry. A dedicated den gives the work-from-home professional a real workspace, completely separate from the energy of the home. All of it tucked behind the gates of Ballastone, one of Oakstead’s most coveted enclaves, where the right neighborhood finally matches the life you’ve earned. Before you even open the front door, this home has already answered every question your growing family is asking. Step inside and 2,573 square feet of open-concept living makes an immediate statement. Soaring 8-foot doors, elegant archways, art niches, rounded corner bead walls, and a tiled foyer anchored by a decorative floor medallion set the tone. The gourmet kitchen is the command center of the home: 42-inch raised panel cabinetry with crown molding, a quartz-topped center island, Corian counters, tile backsplash, and a full suite of stainless appliances including a brand-new dishwasher (2025). A counter-height breakfast bar and café dining area keep mealtimes effortless, while open sightlines straight into the family room mean no one is ever out of sight, whether it’s homework, guests, or both at once. Triple sliding glass doors pour open from both the living room and family room onto an L-shaped wraparound screened lanai, built for the family that lives outside as much as in. Mature landscaping wraps the property in natural privacy, while the oversized side yard delivers the kind of wide-open green space that growing families rarely find inside a gated community. There is room enough here for a weekend soccer match, a game of catch, or simply the freedom to run. The owner’s retreat is a genuine escape. Private alcove entrance, sliding glass doors to the lanai, two built-in closets plus a dedicated walk-in, and a spa-worthy ensuite with double vanity, deep soaking jetted tub, Listello-detailed tiled shower, and private water closet. Three additional bedrooms arranged in a thoughtful 3-way split give every child and every adult somewhere to call their own, all three featuring newer carpet. Builder upgrades round out the package: whole-house central vacuum, Vivint security system, new A/C (2022), and a whole-house water softener, the kind of details that make move-in day feel truly effortless. Oakstead’s resort-style amenities are steps away. A 165,000-gallon saltwater pool with waterslide, 3 tennis courts, fitness center, basketball, volleyball, ball field, and a covered playground that becomes the neighborhood gathering spot on weekends. The Suncoast Expressway puts downtown Tampa under 20 minutes away, with Wiregrass Mall and Tampa Premium Outlets right around the corner. And at the end of the day, there is ample room for soccer drills on a expansive lawn that finally offers the space for it, situated on a quiet cul-de-sac with a private gate separating you from the rest of the world. This is where your next chapter begins.
