Résidence Unifamiliale à Odessa

Virtually Staged. Tucked along the shores of Ivy Lake, this 2,732-square-foot home offers something that’s becoming increasingly difficult to find: **space, privacy, and a backyard you’ll actually use.** Situated on an oversized .37-acre lakefront lot (but NOT in a FLOOD ZONE!) with water views, lake access, and a fully fenced yard, you’ll have plenty of room for family, pets, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful, serene setting from the fire pit or the screened in lanai.

Inside, the home features four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a separate office (which could easily be a 5th bedroom), and a floor plan that offers flexibility for just about every stage of life. The rich **teak hardwood floors**—a premium, high-end hardwood rarely found in today’s homes—add warmth and character throughout all the main living areas, while soaring ceilings and crown molding create an open, inviting feel. A formal living and dining room provide space for holidays and entertaining, while the kitchen and family room come together as the heart of the home for everyday living.

Notably the fourth bedroom, located just off the family room, has its own private entrance and updated full bath. Whether you need an in-law suite, space for an adult child, guest quarters, or even a home business, this room gives you options that most homes simply don’t offer. A separate laundry room with additional storage only adds to the home’s practicality.

Step outside and you’ll immediately understand why this home is so special. The oversized screened lanai features a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, and overlooks the lake—making it the perfect place to host family and friends or simply unwind at the end of the day. Just beyond, the expansive fenced backyard offers a pavered pathway to the firepit, direct lake access, and room to add a pool, launch a kayak, play with 4-legged family, or enjoy the open green space. The renovated cabana bath allows guests to come and go from the backyard without ever needing to walk through the house.

Beyond the beauty of the home, you’ll also appreciate the thoughtful upgrades that make everyday living more efficient and reliable. The **cooktop, ovens, heating system, dryer, and whole-house generator are all powered by natural gas**, providing dependable performance when you need it most. The home is also equipped with **solar panels that currently generate enough electricity to power the entire home**, offering exceptional energy efficiency and helping keep utility costs low.

Completing the property is a spacious three-car garage equipped with a mud sink and plenty of room for vehicles, storage, and hobbies. Roof 2024, HVAC 2023, Water Heater 2021.

Lakefront homes with an oversized fenced lot, premium finishes, energy-efficient upgrades, and this much flexibility don’t come along very often. Add in the premier location: minutes from schools, daycare, shopping and the Suncoast Hwy, and 16215 Ivy Lake Drive isn’t just another home on the market—it’s the kind of property that becomes harder to replace once it’s gone!
