If you’ve been searching for a home that checks every box, this one is worth a serious look. Tucked inside the guard-gated East Lake Woodlands community — known for its canopied streets, two championship golf courses, pickle ball and tennis courts, and home to Ardea Country Club — this 4-bedroom, 3-bath pool home sits on nearly a full acre and has been genuinely well cared for. Equipped with a whole-house solar system – means electric bills that are almost laughably low — most months you’re paying little more than the base statement fee. Pair that with a whole-home water filtration system, water softener, two brand-new AC units (April 2025 and March 2026), a tile roof replaced in 2019, and two water heaters also replaced in 2019, and you’re looking at a home where the expensive stuff has already been done. At 3, 189 square feet, the layout gives everyone room to breathe. The great room is the kind of space that feels both impressive and livable, and the split floor plan keeps the primary suite — complete with walk in closets and a sitting area — separate from the other bedrooms. Tile flooring runs throughout the entire home, so there’s no carpet to worry about. The kitchen is built for real use: breakfast bar, convection oven, cooktop, and quality appliances, all with stone counters. Out back, the pool and lanai open up to a quiet, private setting that makes it easy to forget the rest of the world exists. Top-rated schools, easy access to Tampa, and a short drive to the Gulf beaches round out a package that’s hard to replicate at this price point.
