15720 BEREA DRIVE | Odessa
Tucked behind mature oaks on a quiet, tree-lined street in Odessa, 15720 Berea Drive offers a rare combination of refined craftsmanship and direct lakefront living on serene Lake Grace. Timeless curb appeal welcomes you home with warm taupe stucco, crisp white trim, a gabled archway entry framing 8-foot double doors, lush tropical landscaping, and a three-car garage tucked beneath a sweeping hip roof. Inside, soaring 12-foot ceilings, layered crown molding, 8-inch decorative baseboards, and 24-inch porcelain tile run through every main living area, while plantation shutters dress the road-facing windows. The thoughtful floor plan flows effortlessly between formal and casual spaces, beginning with a combined formal living and dining room - anchored by decorative columns and a slider that frames the lake from the moment you arrive. A dedicated office sits at the front of the home, ideal as a study, library, or flex room. The heart of the home is a beautifully scaled with an over-sized kitchen designed for serious cooking and lively gatherings. Crisp white raised-panel cabinetry rises to 42 inches and is capped with crown molding, granite counters with rich golden movement wrap the perimeter, and a striking deep-navy center island adds personality and prep space. Stainless KitchenAid appliances, a closet pantry, and a layered tray ceiling with pendant lighting complete the space, with lake views from the sink. The kitchen opens to a 17x22 great room framed by pocket sliding glass doors that disappear into the wall, blending interior and exterior into one expansive entertaining space. The owner's retreat is a true escape, with hardwood flooring, lake and pool views, and two oversized walk-in closets featuring custom built-ins, a built-in jewelry safe, and a larger safe for important documents and family heirlooms. The renovated spa-quality primary bath features espresso shaker cabinets with abundant storage, exotic granite tops, illuminated LED vanity mirrors, and a frameless walk-in shower with a rain head, handheld wand, and full body-spray system. Three additional main-floor bedrooms include one with lake views and an en-suite that doubles as a convenient pool bath, while a generous 14x15 upstairs suite with private bath and walk-in closet works equally well as a fifth bedroom or bonus room. The interior laundry features 42-inch cabinets and a Bosch washer and dryer that convey with the home. Outdoor living is where this home truly shines. A panoramic screen enclosure rises over a sun-drenched travertine deck framing a sparkling PebbleTec pool and raised spa with hand-laid blue mosaic tile. The expansive covered lanai feels like a true outdoor room, with a stunning stained tongue-and-groove wood ceiling, industrial-cage fans, recessed lighting, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen featuring stacked stone, granite tops, a Fire Magic grill, beverage fridge, and Big Green Egg. Beyond the screen, the lot steps down to the shoreline of Lake Grace, surrounded by mature trees for a private, park-like setting. Easy access to the Veterans Expressway, top-rated schools, shopping, dining, and Tampa International Airport make this lakefront retreat as practical as it is beautiful. StellarMLS TB8506049
