Property Description

Located in desirable La Paloma Village in the Cypress Creek area of Sun City Center, this home checks the boxes that are getting harder to find at this price point. Newer construction, a heated saltwater pool, a 3-car garage, and a corner lot with actual breathing room. No CDD. Low HOA. NOT in a flood zone. For a buyer doing their homework, those details matter. From the moment you pull up, the curb appeal sets the tone. Manicured landscaping, mature palms, and a clean stucco elevation give it a presence that holds up in person just as well as it does in photos. Inside, the layout just works. The great room anchors the living space with a custom built-in entertainment wall that gives the room character without requiring a renovation. High ceilings, recessed lighting, and ceiling fans keep the space feeling open and comfortable year round. The kitchen is the hub of it all. A center island, granite counters, white cabinetry, a tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances make it as functional as it looks. Plantation shutters and a view through to the lanai give it a bright, connected feel that flows naturally into the eat-in dining area, which includes a built-in beverage fridge and wine rack. It is the kind of detail that feels intentional rather than afterthought. The primary suite is on the main floor and offers a genuine retreat. The en suite bath features dual vanities and a large frameless glass walk-in shower that feels more boutique hotel than builder grade. The additional bedrooms give you real flexibility whether that means a home office, guest room, or space for family visiting from out of town. Then there is the backyard. The screened lanai is built for living, not just lounging. Paver decking, ceiling fans, a mounted outdoor TV, and a full outdoor seating area make this a space you will actually use every day. The heated saltwater pool sits just beyond, surrounded by lush tropical landscaping that creates a level of privacy that is rare on a lot this size. When the sun goes down, the backyard transforms. Integrated soffit lighting wraps the entire roofline and is fully customizable from an app on your phone, giving the home a completely different look at night without any additional setup. The corner positioning gives you green space on the sides that most homes in this price range simply do not have. La Paloma Village is one of those neighborhoods that locals know about and outsiders discover once and do not forget. Larger homesites, a golf course winding through the community, golf cart friendly streets, and a pace of life that is genuinely unhurried. You are still within easy reach of Tampa, Sarasota, and the Gulf beaches but it does not feel that way when you are home.
