Peaceful conservation views, distinctive craftsmanship and a beautifully designed pool retreat set this Toll Brothers home apart in Livingston Grove, an intimate gated community in Lutz. Situated on a half-acre lot backing to conservation, this 2023 Dexter floor plan offers 4,549 square feet of heated living space and 5,787 total square feet, with four bedrooms, four full baths, a half bath and a three-car garage. Approximately $178,000 in original design-center upgrades laid the foundation for a home further enhanced with extensive custom finishes inside and out. Soaring ceilings, coffered and tray details, and wood beams create architectural interest, while Kingston Oak wood flooring adds warmth. Espresso-stained oak stair treads and upgraded wrought-iron railings make a striking statement. Custom brickwork, shiplap, board-and-batten, window trim and built-in shelving give individual rooms their own character while maintaining a cohesive feel. A built-in TV console anchors the living space, office shelving creates an inviting workspace, and a custom mudroom bench with cubbies provides a practical drop zone. The gourmet kitchen pairs navy and linen cabinetry with brushed-gold hardware, a marble-topped island, farmhouse sink and stainless-steel hood. An upgraded KitchenAid appliance package, side-by-side refrigerator and wine refrigerator complement a space equally suited to everyday meals and entertaining. Coordinating cabinetry extends into the coffee bar, office and mudroom, carrying the thoughtful design throughout the home. Plantation shutters dress every bedroom, with luxury carpeting adding comfort to the three secondary bedrooms. Kohler faucets and bath accessories continue the attention to detail, while a central vacuum system, water-treatment system, and included washer and dryer add everyday convenience. The outdoor living space is a natural extension of the interior, with wood beams accenting the covered lanai and retractable screens offering flexibility for relaxing and entertaining. Built by Fountain Pools, the heated saltwater pool features a gunite shell, Jandy equipment, and an AquaCal heater. A raised deck, six-foot sheer water feature, and two additional planters create a striking focal point. Paver decking, Sylvester palms (6) installed in 2023, lush landscaping, and landscape lighting frame the retreat, with conservation providing a peaceful backdrop. The three-car garage offers flexibility for vehicles, fitness equipment, and recreational gear. Installed gutters and Taekk system, complete the exterior improvements. From quiet mornings overlooking conservation to evenings gathered around the pool, this thoughtfully customized home brings together architectural character, everyday comfort, and inviting outdoor living in gated Livingston Grove.
