About 14742 Waterchase Boulevard
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.
