506 Brooktree Ct., Lutz, FL 33548

Sprawling and sparkling 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom custom pool home with attached mother-in-law suite (including a separate entrance and a second kitchen) situated on a quiet cul-de-sac lot of nearly a half-acre in the secluded, gated, and 24-hour guarded community of Crystal Lake Manors. The Main Home: Exceptional residence was built by personal friend of the owners to exacting standards using premium building materials. A true one-of-a-kind home, the builder only built 3 homes in Crystal Lakes, each with unique floor plans. Large lot allows for single story construction (no stairs!) with a large, fenced, and professionally-landscaped backyard featuring multiple pecan trees. Stately brick planters accent the double door Entryway and echo the massive wood-burning brick fireplace in the Family Room. Warm hardwoods and Italian tile guide you throughout the primary living spaces. Vaulted ceilings soaring to 14-feet complement the oversized rooms. Pocketing sliding glass doors lead to a covered lanai with a ~600 sq. ft. dining and lounge space surrounding the screened pool. Expansive Living Room will fit the biggest TV and tons of seating. Primary Bedroom Suite has direct access to the pool, double vanities, garden tub, glass-enclosed shower, and a closet so big it needs its own zip code. Huge dining room easily seats 12 guests. Kitchen outfitted with GE Profile stainless steel appliances, custom oak cabinets, and 3 pass-through windows to the pool area. Even the secondary bedrooms have walk-in closets! Two-plus car garage with built-in shelving and access to large attic. The Mother-In-Law Suite: This fantastic home further stands out because it includes a 4-room mother-in-law suite, with plenty of space for an aging loved one to maintain their independence while being under the same roof. The 22’ x 15’ bedroom provides plenty of space for a distinct sitting area and overlooks the pool through pocketing, sliding glass doors. The tiled kitchen has a dining area, huge windows, and french doors that open to a private garden space and a paved walkway connecting to the driveway. The bathroom includes a step-in shower and has a door leading to the pool, so it can also serve as a pool bath. The walk-in-closet has lots of built-in shelving to accommodate a multitude of storage needs. Separate HVAC system ensures residents of each wing of the home can enjoy their preferred temperature setting. If you don’t need to use this wing of the house for a family member, it would make a perfect home theatre, game room, gym, or work-from-home space. The Community: Crystal Lake Manors is a fantastic place to call home. The neighborhood has just 203 homesites, all carefully developed to avoid the “cookie cutter” repetition of so many suburbs. Community amenities include 24-hour security personnel and video surveillance, tennis courts, a playground, and screened event pavilion. The Crystal Lakes HOA curates a number of seasonal events to promote family interaction and relationship building. The HOA also does a great job enforcing community deed restrictions without being overly burdensome. Easy access to I-275, downtown Tampa, and the Bay Area Beaches without the hassle of the New Tampa and Pasco County suburban sprawl.
