Be prepared to pinch yourself because, yes, this is real; nearly $400K in luxury updates and upgrades under $1.3 million! Step inside this beautifully cared-for Rutenberg stunner in Cypress Lakes Estates — where refined elegance meets laid-back luxury. Sitting pretty on a lush, private .75-acre lot, this one-story pool home has everything: 4 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, a dedicated office, a bonus room made for fun, and a 3-car garage — all wrapped in swaying trees and lush landscaping like a quiet little secret tucked near East Lake High. Enter through arched, impact-rated double doors and feel the openness hit you: soaring ceilings, classic moldings, and that gas fireplace in the formal living room just begging for a cozy-night-in or the perfect holiday photo op. The formal dining room is ready for your signature dinners, with a smart pass-through bar to the kitchen that keeps your hosting game strong. The heart of the home? That warm and welcoming kitchen. With rich wood cabinetry, gleaming granite, stainless steel appliances, wine fridge, and island seating — it’s a kitchen that cooks and entertains with equal ease. A sunny dinette framed by a beveled glass picture window gives you front-row pool views over breakfast (and espresso martinis, no judgment here). Off the kitchen, the family room spills into a versatile bonus room with sliders to the lanai — ideal for billiards, movie nights, game time, or even your next creative studio. Just painted in 2025 for a fresh look! The floor plan is split for privacy: the primary suite is an actual retreat with double closets (including a walk-in), a garden tub, walk-in shower, water closet, and stylish center bath cabinetry. One of the guest rooms is set up as a second office, perfect for working from home without sacrificing a bedroom. Step outside and you’ll feel it — that this is why you live in Florida. The screened lanai is massive, with two covered zones for lounging, dining, and living. One side boasts an outdoor grilling station, living room, and dining area that’s ready for backyard BBQ season. The other? Set up now with a pool table but fully ready for alfresco dining or kicking back with friends under the fans. Seller may be willing to sell with an OONI pizza oven. Oh, and don’t worry — the heated saltwater pool and spillover spa deliver all the resort vibes, complete with LED lighting for night swims, total privacy, and room for your dog to roam (yes, the invisible fence stays). Other perks & upgrades: Travertine floors, a 2022 roof, dual-zone HVAC systems (2020 & 2019). Located just outside Lansbrook in one of Tarpon’s most coveted communities, you're near top-rated schools (East Lake High School and Middle School - for those who have students attending the middle school through the lottery), golf courses, trails, shops, and the coast - all with low HOA fees. There's a private irrigation well (translation: lush landscaping without crying over your water bill). All wall-mounted TVs will stay with the property and a single-story layout so perfect you’ll never complain about stairs again. This is the kind of home you feel as much as you see. Not to mention, a neighborhood entrance that feels like a country club displaying a pond with fountain & conservation views right at the end of your street — because pulling into your neighborhood should feel like a moment.
