Property Description

Under contract-accepting backup offers. Lakefront Sanctuary on a Private 7.28-Acre Estate in Gated Watercrest - including 1.5 acres of beautifully landscaped uplands with protected conservation backdrop and water frontage on Lake Armistead. Boasting over 4,200 sqft - this custom home delivers a rare blend of privacy, craftsmanship, and resort-style living. A 450-foot boardwalk, fully rebuilt in 2023 with marine-grade stringers and decking, winds through the conservation buffer to a private dock - your personal sanctuary for lakeside morning yoga, evening cocktails, and quiet moments with the wildlife. A dramatic double-door entry with LED glass detailing opens into a home defined by quality at every turn: engineered hardwood floors, 8-inch baseboards, crown molding, tray ceilings, and plantation shutters throughout. The layout flows effortlessly from a formal living room overlooking the pool and conservation, to a formal dining room, and breakfast nook - into a chef's kitchen outfitted with Viking appliances, induction cooktop, and dual convection ovens. A dedicated butler's station with beverage fridge and prep sink anchors the entertaining experience. The expansive primary suite is a true retreat with hardwood floors, dual closets, and direct pool access. The spa-inspired primary bath - completely rebuilt in 2024 - features dual vanities, a freestanding tub, and a spectacular shower with wall, rain, and wand heads. Four additional bedrooms, four full bathrooms (including a fully renovated 2024 hall guest bath), and a generous bonus room provide flexibility for family, guests, and play. Resort-Style Outdoor Living: A screen-enclosed PebbleTec saltwater pool with spillover spa anchors the outdoor experience - solar-heated pool, gas-heated spa, and full pool automation. The covered lanai houses a complete Fire Magic outdoor kitchen with gas grill, beverage fridge, icemaker, and gas fireplace. Just beyond the screen, a paver patio with fire pit overlooks the wooded backdrop. For the Enthusiast: In addition to the 3-car attached garage, a detached 5-car hobby garage (1,450 sqft with 15-ft ceilings) features a car lift, custom Baldhead built-in cabinetry, tool drawers, and a Big Arse Fan — purposefully positioned to shield the pool area from neighbors' views. Premium Systems: 36 kW Generac whole-house generator, owned water treatment system, surround sound in great room/bonus room/pool area, and a Ring camera system convey. Lakefront Activities: Year-round access to endless days on the water - boats, jet skis, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, and more — right from your private dock. Tucked at the very end of a private road, the newly upgraded community gate and access pad ensure complete privacy and seclusion. This is the kind of address most buyers don't know exists — a true wooded retreat backed by protected conservation, with quick access to the Veterans Expressway, Citrus Park Mall, and the countless dining, shopping, and recreation options just minutes beyond the gate. More than a home, this is a private lakefront compound where the cars have their own wing, the lake has its own boardwalk, and every detail was built for the way you actually want to live.
