7172 River Country Drive, Weeki Wachee, FL 34607

Description

Under contract-accepting backup offers. This stunning custom-built pool home in River Country Estates was completed in 2018, and it’s setting the bar for Florida living way up high! Sitting on a corner lot that totals well over an acre, it borders the Weeki Wachee Wildlife Management Area - no rear neighbors and plenty of privacy! Double doors reveal a spacious, functional floor plan with chic wood-look ceramic tile flooring in the living areas. Elegant details like designer light fixtures, recessed lighting, and tray ceilings compliment the contemporary finishes. Expansive living and family rooms provide ample space for entertaining or leisure. Dedicated office space is a must for anyone working from home; this one features French doors, real wood flooring, and could easily be a 5th bedroom, den, or flex space. We invite you to be our guest and admire the custom shelving with a built-in ladder in the dining area; you can fulfill your dreams of being a French peasant with a full library, or host an intimate meal for your BookTok club. The gourmet kitchen is a masterclass in modernity with a walk-in pantry, espresso-finished cabinets, exquisite granite counters, and gleaming stainless steel appliances, which include a double oven and a wine cooler. The island has a prep sink as well as extra room for seating and storage. Sip your morning coffee at the breakfast bar or nibble on toast in the eating nook overlooking the pool area. At the end of a long day, the immense primary bedroom is your best bet for respite. It boasts two walk-in closets, and the ensuite bathroom is the stuff of dreams! Dual basin sinks, a built-in vanity, a standalone shower with beautiful tile, and a feature jetted tub? It’s nothing short of spa-like. The remaining three guest bedrooms are generously sized with plenty of closet space. They share two full guest bathrooms, one of which has a step-in shower and pool access. An indoor laundry room with utility sink acts as a transitional entry point between the oversized two-car garage and the main home. Don your bathing garb and slather on the SPF, because you’re going to want to spend hot summer days poolside! Gorgeous travertine tile adorns the huge lanai and pool deck, which also sports ceiling fans and privacy screening. Belly up to the bar of the outdoor kitchen, where you’ll find everything you need to keep the cookout in full swing: sink, mini fridge, and a propane grill. But the crown jewel is the resort-style heated spa and pool with a sun shelf for lounging in the water. Little ones and pets can play safely in the enormous backyard, as it’s fully enclosed with vinyl fencing. Solar panels help keep power costs low. River Country is a deed restricted community with low annual HOA fees; it’s also a designated bird sanctuary with a pier and a private park. It’s mere moments away from Weeki Wachee Springs State Park, where you can paddle the river, discover native Florida wildlife, and meet real mermaids. Nearby US-19 provides easy access to a plethora of local shopping and dining options. It also makes travel to Homosassa, the sponge docks of Tarpon Springs, and the beaches of Clearwater convenient. Tampa and its amenities are less than an hour south, while the magic of Orlando attractions is only two hours to the east. Private showings are available.
