Discover a ONE-OF-A-KIND LAKEFRONT retreat at 17804 Waterway Creek Drive—a beautifully designed 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath Meritage Home built in 2018. Set at the end of a quiet CUL-DE-SAC inside a GATED community, this rare property spans 2.64 ACRES with direct access to Lake Stemper, a 115-acre SKI LAKE known for its SUNSET VIEWS and year-round recreation. Inside, you’ll find 2,547 sq. ft. of open living space, highlighted by 10-FOOT CEILINGS and abundant natural light. The gourmet kitchen anchors the main level with stainless steel appliances, a large island, a supersized walk-in pantry, and quartz countertops —ideal for everyday living and hosting. The living and dining areas connect seamlessly, creating an easy, comfortable flow. The primary suite is thoughtfully situated to take in the lake views and includes a spa-style bathroom with a large WALK-IN SHOWER, SOAKING TUB, DUAL VANITIES, and an expansive walk-in closet. The home also offers two attic spaces—one accessible directly from the primary closet and the other from the garage. A generous flex room provides versatility for a home office, gym, or possible fourth bedroom. Step outside to enjoy true Florida living: a floating dock, screened back patio, above-ground spa, and beautifully landscaped grounds, all backed by peaceful conservation. Whether you’re boating, fishing, or unwinding by the water, this outdoor space is designed for both relaxation and fun. Additional practical features include hurricane shutters, gutters, irrigation, a private well and septic system, a high-efficiency air-filtration HVAC system and UV-blocking double-pane windows. And the location is just as impressive—10 minutes to STARBUCKS, 20 minutes to TAMPA PREMIUM OUTLETS for shopping and dining, and 30 minutes to TAMPA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, offering easy access while still maintaining the privacy of a natural retreat. It’s rare to find a home that delivers land, waterfront living, and convenience all in one place—this is a standout property you won’t easily find again.
