One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. The Kind of Home You Don't Find Twice
There are houses, and then there are homes that make you rethink everything. This custom-built Larson home in The Eagles checks every single box—and a few you didn't even know you had. At 4,109 square feet on a quiet, kid-friendly street overlooking the 5th hole of the Lakes Course, this isn't your typical Westchase-area home. Surrounded by mature trees that give you privacy from the course while still enjoying those serene golf views. The current owners have been here long-term. This has never been a rental. You can feel the difference the moment you walk in.
Six bedrooms (five plus a huge bonus room with double closet—one already shelved), four full bathrooms, and a three-car garage. The split floor plan puts a full in-law suite on the first floor—perfect for guests, aging parents, or extra space everyone fights over. Walk in to a proper office and formal dining room with custom cabinetry and countertops. The family room sprawls out with crown molding throughout the entire first floor, and the gourmet kitchen is where this home shows off. Custom breakfast nook with movable granite-topped table, large custom pantry with pull-out drawers, newer dishwasher (2023), and a second pantry tucked under the staircase.
Upstairs features a smart split layout with the master suite separate from the other bedrooms. The master is massive—a private sanctuary with dedicated sitting area, custom lighting, and tray ceiling with crown molding. Four generous secondary bedrooms share two full bathrooms (a Jack and Jill plus a second full bath), and every upstairs bedroom has walk-in closets, one with full custom closet systems. Second-floor laundry room means no hauling baskets. The bonus room works as media room, playroom, or whatever your family needs.
The southeast-facing backyard features a Hayward saline saltwater pool heated by propane, lush landscaping, and mature trees creating a private oasis. Plenty of space for entertaining with peaceful golf course views. Roof replaced 2022. Five new windows November 2025. Water softener (2022). Plantation shutters throughout. Hurricane shutters stored in garage. Sprinkler system. Select furniture negotiable.
HOA fees only $129/month with no CDD fees. At $268 per square foot for a custom-built home in a guard-gated golf community, the value is exceptional. The Eagles offers 24/7 security, two championship golf courses, clubhouse with restaurant, playground, basketball courts, tennis and pickleball courts. Community hosts clubhouse events, festive golf cart parades for Halloween and holidays, and an annual garage sale.
Zoned for highly-rated Mary Bryant Elementary, Farnell Middle, and Sickles High School. Minutes to Racetrack Road, Tampa International Airport, and Florida's beaches. This home has been meticulously maintained and is ready for its next chapter. The question is: is that your chapter?
