One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Welcome to the epitome of upscale living in the exclusive Riverwood Hammocks community, a gated, private preserve neighborhood of 68 homes nestled along the Alafia River just outside of Tampa. Highlighted by a $100,000 premium preserve lot on the water and located at the end of a cul-de-sac with no rear neighbors, your saltwater pool home offers unparalleled privacy and tranquility—an ideal retreat from the bustle of city life. Family and guests will appreciate the rear first-floor quarters and guest room, which can serve as an in-law suite with separate entrances on both sides of your house. It’s adjacent to a full bathroom with direct pool access, creating a private and convenient space for visitors. Upon entry, you’ll be captivated by the Restoration Hardware lighting fixtures and chandeliers, setting the tone for the grandeur that awaits. Custom European oak flooring graces every corner of the residence, adding elegance to every room. For the culinary enthusiast, the chef’s kitchen is a dream. Featuring rare natural gas cooking, three ovens (including a French door oven and an Advantium convection oven), and top-of-the-line GE Café appliances—this space is ready for your very own “Great American Cook Off.” Outdoors, grilling aficionados will enjoy the Heston built-in rotisserie and searing grill, custom masonry stonework, and a dolomite waterfall-edged outdoor kitchen. This home also offers custom ceiling lighting in the home theater and media room, with the option to purchase a new 85-inch Samsung Neo QLED TV and some of the furnishings in the home. Restoration Hardware window finishes with silk drapery are featured throughout. A newer HVAC system includes both 3-ton and 4-ton variable speed Trane units, as well as advanced Trane thermostats equipped with radar, weather forecasts, and alerts. A third-zone Mitsubishi split system is dedicated to the media room for personalized climate control. The spacious walk-in laundry room features great natural light. A three-car garage provides plenty of space for vehicles or golf carts. The saltwater pool, which is gentler on the skin, is heated with a paid-off passive solar system and has a new Pentair pump. Schedule your private tour today and experience this one-of-a-kind preserve property, elevated high above the water, where luxury, comfort, and privacy come together in perfect harmony.
