14742 WATERCHASE BLVD, TAMPA, FL 33626

Description

Nearly 5,000 SF, ALL ON ONE FLOOR, set on a beautiful LAKEFRONT lot. A TRULY RARE offering in MAR
AZUL — the coveted double-gated section of Waterchase, known for its larger homesites and very limited
offerings. This custom Marc Rutenberg residence offers the kind of scale, layout and setting that are
exceptionally difficult to replicate. The arrival is grand, with an oversized driveway and magnificent custom
iron front door opening to SOARING 12-ft CEILINGS, substantial room dimensions, expansive living spaces
and beautiful views toward the pool and lake. The home itself offers an extraordinary, well thought-out floor
plan with all the right rooms and spaces. A large OFFICE in the front of the home provides a private work
setting, while a second office/5th bedroom in the back enjoys beautiful views of the WATER and POOL. The
PRIMARY SUITE is privately positioned in its own wing and is truly substantial, with a large sitting area,
access to the outdoor living spaces and an expansive marble bath. The heart of the home is open, spacious
and made for gathering, with a true GOURMET KITCHEN featuring extensive cabinetry and surface space, a
huge granite island, Thermador gas range and refrigerator, and Bosch dishwasher. The ARCHITECTURE
HOLDS ITS OWN — generous proportions, large windows, bay windows and floor-to-ceiling sliding doors
bring in an abundance of NATURAL LIGHT and create a wonderful connection to the outdoors. Distressed
hardwood flooring extends throughout all bedrooms, while a custom masonry gas fireplace adds warmth and
architectural presence. And then there is the LARGE MEDIA/ENTERTAINMENT ROOM — an exceptional,
light-filled space with a full 13-speaker/2-subwoofer Dolby Atmos system, Sony 4K projector, 170-inch
screen and custom equipment closet. Movie nights, game days, billiards, entertaining friends — the room is
flexible enough to accommodate it all. Outside, the large POOL and SPA overlook the lake, with generous
covered and open-air areas, a Viking outdoor grill and a backyard offering both space and serenity. The
home also features a Crestron whole-house integrated audio/video system with Apple, Sonos and Spotify
compatibility, plantation shutters, an epoxy-finished garage and extensive built-in storage. All of this within
WATERCHASE — one of Tampa’s most exceptional communities, with a full-time activities director, movie
nights, music festivals, summer camps and year-round events, plus resort-style pools, tennis and basketball
courts, fitness center, playground and miles of sidewalks filled with golf carts, bicycles and neighbors who
actually know one another. Finishes can evolve. The architecture, land, scale and one-story footprint are the
rarity.
