Some homes stop you before you even reach the front door. With first impressions that truly deliver, this is one of them! Simply put, THIS is a cool home! Nestled on a generous HALF-ACRE+, corner lot in Tracer's Lake Keen Estates of Lutz, this 3-bed, 2-bath, 2-car garage home offers 2, 845 sq ft of personality, privacy & pure fun. Framed by beautiful sweeping trees & a circular drive, the classic brick exterior & gracious, warm wood-columned, front porch sets the tone… unhurried & welcoming. Step through the double-door entry into a spacious foyer that opens to a home full of character. Rich wood floors flow through the living & dining areas, anchored by a stunning stone-surround wood-burning fireplace with mantle. The updated kitchen features granite counters, stainless appliances, statement range hood with a direct sight line to the fireplace from the cook’s position, walk-in closet pantry, and a picture window that makes even doing dishes feel like a retreat. Dual breakfast bars are great for gathering & keep everyone close to the action. The bonus game room, with pool table included, is ready for a rematch any night of the week. The whole-house intercom, with music & talk features, sets an ambiance & keeps everyone connected. Cedar walls conceal the secret doors opening to the interior laundry room (w/utility sink), & electrical storage room. The adjacent family room's wall of windows frames the lush, naturesque backyard. The Primary Suite is a true retreat: vaulted ceilings, 8’ glass slider, walk-in closet, & a spa-inspired EnSuite bath with double sinks, modern soaker tub, large travertine shower, & tropical backyard views. Then there’s the backyard. And this is where this home becomes truly unforgettable! Entertaining here isn't just easy…. it's legendary. A sprawling patio winds past the fire pit & jacuzzi areas, through lush tropical landscaping, to a multi-level wood deck via LED-lit stairs & rope railings to the tranquil canal’s edge. Serene, private, & unmistakably Florida. The covered outdoor bar is in a class of its own- shiplap-walled, vaulted-ceiling hangout spot complete with a glowing linear electric fireplace, television mount, beverage fridge, bar sink, misting fan, ceiling fan, string lights, bar stool seating, & showstopping live-edge wood bar top.
