Waterfront freedom with no HOA! Welcome to this beautifully updated, move-in-ready three-bedroom, two-bathroom, ranch home in the highly sought-after Lake Shore Estates community. Perfectly situated on a deep-water freshwater canal leading directly out to 2,500-acre Lake Tarpon, this property offers the ultimate Florida lifestyle with absolute freedom. Because there are no restrictive rules and no high monthly fees, you have plenty of space to park your boat trailer, RV, or golf cart right at home. The west-facing front entry gives the home beautiful evening curb appeal, while the backyard faces east to provide shaded, cooler afternoons by the water. Step out back to enjoy sixty feet of prime water frontage located on one of the deepest canals on the lake, which is perfect for keeping your boat hull safe during any season. The turnkey dock setup includes a fixed wooden dock ready for your boat, a floating drive-on jet ski dock, and a built-in fish-cleaning station with a sink. The backyard is fully fenced with low-maintenance pavers and a covered patio, creating the perfect space for outdoor entertaining. As an added bonus, the lawn irrigation system pulls water directly from the canal to keep your grass green while saving you money on utility bills. Inside, the open-concept floor plan impresses with soaring cathedral ceilings, eight-inch baseboards, and a massive family and dining room combination featuring custom built-in shelving. The fully remodeled kitchen is open to the main living area and features bright quartz countertops, a spacious peninsula island with bar seating, stainless steel appliances, forty-two-inch cabinets, and a large skylight that floods the space with natural light. Three separate sets of elegant French doors provide a seamless transition from the living spaces straight out to the covered paved patio. The smart split-bedroom layout offers maximum privacy. The oversized primary suite sits entirely on its own side of the house, complete with a walk-in closet and a beautifully updated ensuite bathroom. On the opposite side of the home, two additional large bedrooms with crown molding share a second renovated bathroom. For ultimate convenience, a dedicated inside laundry room leads out to a rare, massive three-car garage. A whole-home water softener is also included. The location offers the perfect blend of recreation and convenience. You are located directly across from the world-famous Innisbrook Golf Resort, home to the PGA Tour's Copperhead Course, in a highly golf-cart-friendly neighborhood. While you enjoy peace and quiet on the water, you are only minutes away from grocery stores, local dining, and excellent shopping. When you want to hit the saltwater, the white sands of Fred Howard Park, Sunset Beach, and Honeymoon Island are just a short drive away.
