This well-maintained executive pool home is nestled on River Hills’ signature 14th fairway and fronts one of the gated community’s most private and desirable cul-de-sac streets. Lush landscaping and mature live oaks provide shade and serenity, and there are no backyard neighbors!—just a long swath of tree-lined greenspace visible from several rooms and the spacious pool deck/covered lanai.
A dramatic covered entryway opens onto the formal living room; a decorative arch and half wall with walkthrough provide separation from the formal dining room, which offers a beautiful bay window view of the pool and golf course. Both living and dining rooms are finished in crown molding and solid oak flooring.

A large kitchen with tile floors, plenty of Corian counters, tons of cabinet space, two pantries and an island (with sink and breakfast bar!) flows into a spacious great room den with wide views of the pool and golf course. Pool access from the den via oversized sliders facilitates large gatherings as family and guests can spill out to mingle on the covered lanai. A half bath in the pool area adds convenience during recreation and outdoor dinner parties.

The 5-bedroom split plan provides room, privacy, and versatility: on the north wing, a spacious master—the “Poolside” bedroom--includes a very large walk-in closet and private bath with garden tub and separate shower. On the opposite end of the north wing, the “Library” bedroom (lots of custom, built-in shelving), boasts its own full bath. On the south wing, the “Beach,” “Bucs,” and “Brawny” bedrooms share a Jack-n-Jill bathroom with double sink, privacy pull door, and convenient access to the interior laundry room.

This is a turn-key property with a brand new roof in 2020, new exterior and interior paint in 2021, and manicured landscaping. Other valuable features include custom plantation shutters throughout the home, tile or wood floors throughout,
a side loading 2-car garage and extra-long/wide driveway (can accommodate 4-6 more cars), pie shaped lot with perhaps the greatest frontage in River Hills, and newer appliances (washing machine, dishwasher, disposal, and pool pump/filter housing, lanai fans, and den fan all three years old or newer).

In many respects, this property truly fulfills this planned community’s aim of providing a resident lifestyle that incorporates Florida’s natural beauty, opportunity for outdoor recreation, and social interaction. In addition to elective championship golf and tennis membership, all residents of River Hills are automatically general members of the Club and may use the dining facilities, gym, and community pool. There are more than 44 miles of shady sidewalk in the neighborhood and many deep woods nature trails along the Alafia River, too! Centrally located, this property is approximately 40 minutes from Tampa International Airport and one-hour to the pristine Gulf beaches and Disney World.
