Property Description

Classic, timeless, and effortlessly luxurious — welcome to your dream lifestyle at 18562 Council Crest Drive, where refined lakefront living meets the perfect Tampa Bay location. Behind the gates of the exclusive Council Crest community, surrounded by 4.69 private acres with 329 feet of frontage on Lake Martha, this extraordinary estate blends elevated design/upgrades, resort-style outdoor living, and serene waterfront beauty. The atmosphere is immediate: quiet, private, and framed by mature live oaks and cypress — worlds away from the city, yet minutes from Tampa's best dining, shopping, interstates, airports, and beaches, and zoned for top-rated Steinbrenner High School. Spanning over 7,260 SF across three levels with a private elevator, the home (built 2009) has been extensively upgraded by the sellers for elevated living and unforgettable entertaining. Beneath a newer metal roof (2022), new solid wood doors open to a foyer and a redesigned, open staircase. Rich wide-plank engineered hardwood floors flow under soaring coffered ceilings and crisp millwork. The layout offers 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, a 4-car garage, dual primary suites, a theater room, formal living and dining spaces, and a stunning double-island kitchen — two stone islands, custom cabinetry, brick backsplash, Wolf gas range, Wolf appliances, Sub- Zero fridge, built-in coffee maker, and a breakfast room wrapped in custom wallpaper. The living room anchors with a custom entertainment wall and brick fireplace. Every room has been enhanced with designer-level upgrades — custom carpentry, statement lighting, designer wallpaper, renovated baths, and surround sound inside and out. The dual primary suites include a main-level suite with new brick flooring and a fully updated pool bath, plus a hotel-worthy upper suite with spa bath, freestanding tub, glass shower, dual vanities, and a massive walk-in closet with its own center island. Lifestyle spaces include a theater room, spacious guest suites, a bonus/gym room (currently the 5th bedroom), and an expansive third-floor loft that serves as an air-conditioned storage level and bonus space. Outside, the estate becomes a private resort. A spectacular 38-foot heated saltwater pool and spa with oversized sun shelf centers a travertine terrace built for entertaining. The upgraded cabana features a brick fireplace, mounted TV, speakers, tongue-and-groove ceilings, and a matching metal roof, all framed by lake views. A new private covered dock with electricity overlooks Lake Martha — perfect for fishing, sunsets, and peaceful mornings on the water. Significant investment includes a 2022 metal roof, 2022 water treatment system, newer pool equipment, tankless gas water heater, 500-gallon propane, an expanded backyard (˜38 truckloads of fill and nearly $50,000 in sod), extended lanai decking, new front doors, and extensive interior and exterior renovations throughout. Wake to peaceful lake views, fish from your private dock, and entertain under the cabana at sunset — all while enjoying complete privacy minutes from the energy of Tampa Bay. Set within a small community of just 10 homes, 18562 Council Crest Drive is more than a home; it is a fully curated luxury lifestyle of beauty, privacy, and timeless elegance in one extraordinary address.
