Property Description

Stately Brick-Front Pool Home on Nearly an Acre in Hounds Run | No CDDPicture your mornings here: coffee on the screened lanai, sunlight dancing on the SALTWATER POOL, and NEARLY AN ACRE of tree-shaded privacy all around you. 17512 Drake Court is a stately brick-front, SINGLE-STORY POOL HOME tucked on a quiet CUL-DE-SAC in Hounds Run, a deed-restricted community of just 39 homes in semi-rural Lutz with NO CDD and a LOW HOA. It feels like a country retreat, yet you are minutes from USF, major medical facilities, shopping, dining, I-275, and I-75.Pull around the CIRCULAR DRIVE, step beneath the GRAND COVERED BRICK ENTRY, and open the DOUBLE LEADED GLASS DOORS to a view straight through to the pool. This METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED, CUSTOM-BUILT SCHAEFER MODEL HOME offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and 3,293 square feet on ONE LEVEL, with timeless character and plenty of room to personalize and make it your own.VAULTED CATHEDRAL CEILINGS make every gathering feel bigger. Cool evenings call for a fire in the STONE WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE while friends settle in around the WET BAR. In the kitchen, a SKYLIGHT fills the room with daylight, a seating bar keeps the cook in the conversation, and a SERVING WINDOW sends drinks and plates straight out to the patio.Weekends happen outside. POCKET SLIDING GLASS DOORS open the living area to an OVERSIZED SCREENED LANAI, where the SALTWATER POOL, RECENTLY RESURFACED POOL DECK, and OUTDOOR KITCHEN set the scene for cookouts, game-day parties, and quiet night swims. A POOL BATH with a warming bench keeps wet feet out of the house. Beyond the screen, the FENCED 0.83-ACRE LOT stretches almost 300 feet deep, with room to plant a garden, let the dog run, toss a ball, or build the workshop you have always wanted (subject to HOA approval).Inside, everyone has room to breathe. The SPLIT FLOOR PLAN gives the primary suite its own wing, with a walk-in closet and a spa-style bath featuring a soaking tub, double vanities, Italian ceramic tile, and a stained glass window. A nearby study with CUSTOM BUILT-IN BOOKSHELVES is ready for working from home or curling up with a good book. Across the home, a private IN-LAW SUITE with two bedrooms and a full bath is ideal for MULTI-GENERATIONAL LIVING or long-term guests.Move in with confidence.
