8296 OLIVE BROOK DRIVE, Wesley Chapel, Pasco, Residential

Some people count down the days to vacation. At 8296 Olive Brook Drive, you just walk to it. This 2018 Pulte Cascade Grand sits inside the gated Epperson South Lagoon Community, home of the first Crystal Lagoon in the United States. It offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 2,662 heated square feet.

The smart layout keeps all four bedrooms and the main living areas on the first floor. Upstairs is a bonus room and loft, ready for game day, movie night, or a home office. The open floor plan fills with natural light and flows easily from the kitchen to the dining area to the living room. The kitchen has generous cabinetry, sleek countertops, and room to eat in, so hosting feels effortless. From the dining area, a sliding door opens to the covered lanai, your front-row seat for those famous Florida winter breezes.

The primary suite is a private retreat with a walk-in closet and an en suite bath with dual vanities and a walk-in shower. Three more bedrooms give you room for guests or a dedicated office, and three full baths keep busy mornings moving. Other features include a water softener and filtration system, a 2-car garage, a front porch, and a fully fenced backyard on a 0.17-acre lot in Flood Zone X.

Then there's the Lagoon lifestyle. Paddleboard or kayak across crystal-clear water, take on the Wibit obstacle course, claim a cabana or AquaBana on the sandy beach, and grab a drink at the swim-up bar. The Lagoon works like an outdoor clubhouse, with resident-only events all year:

Movies on the Lawn and the Sounds of Summer live music series
Trivia Night, karaoke, and Family Night
A fall Pumpkin Patch and golf cart parades
Cinco de Mayo and Fourth of July celebrations

Residents also enjoy Elam Park, the dock at King Lake, Eagles Nest Park, a dog park, and golf cart paths. You can drive your cart straight to Publix, Starbucks, and Chick-fil-A at Innovation Springs. Your HOA includes cable and Ultra-Fi high-speed internet.

Wesley Chapel 33545 keeps the good times rolling. You're about 10 minutes from KRATE and close to Tampa Premium Outlets, The Shops at Wiregrass, and The Grove. AdventHealth Center Ice, the largest ice facility in the Southeast, and the Wiregrass Ranch Sports Campus are nearby too. Downtown Tampa is about 35 minutes away, Tampa International Airport about 45, and Orlando's theme parks about 90.
