8927 key west island way

Discover this one-of-a-kind designer home with panoramic views of the park-like backyard, nestled between two lakes in the gated community of Key West Landings. Set on the largest lot in the community —over 28,000 sq ft—this estate offers space, serenity, comfort and lifestyle perks - including a detached studio apartment with lake views and a private boat slip with lift on the Alafia River granting direct access to sandy islands on your way to Tampa Bay, and the Gulf of Mexico. The house, garage & apartment are not in a flood zone and never flooded. Built in 2014 by renowned premium builder TB Homes, this stylish and spacious residence embodies relaxed elegance. You’ll be greeted by wide-plank hardwood floors throughout, a soaring entryway ceiling, a showpiece wooden staircase, a welcoming sitting nook for guests and a statement chandelier anchoring the formal dining room. The kitchen has been recently fully upgraded with top-of-the-line JennAir and Frigidaire professional appliances, marble and quartzite surfaces, a full-height marble backsplash, ample custom Thomasville cabinetry, and an oversized island with abundant storage and a farmhouse stainless steel sink. The open-concept design connects the kitchen, breakfast nook and living room with the 50-foot covered lanai —pre-plumbed for an outdoor kitchen — creating an ideal space for both everyday living and entertaining. The first-floor primary bedroom suite offers privacy, comfort, and serene backyard views. Upstairs includes three bedrooms, two full baths, and a loft with a desk area that opens to a covered balcony with sweeping lake views (totaling over 19 acres of blue beauty) and endless garden views. Connected via a breezeway, a separate 464 sq ft studio apartment above the garage offers its own water views—ideal for guests, in-laws, or a private workspace or fitness space. Additional features include: sturdy construction with a metal roof and Hardie board siding, low-E double-paned windows, 2021 & 2023 three A/C systems, 2022 & 2023 water heaters, crown molding, designer lighting, professionally custom-built primary large walk-in closet, kitchen drawers and pantry. Buyer to verify. All this just 15 minutes to the entertainment of Channelside/Water Street, 20 minutes to Downtown Tampa or Brandon’s top restaurants and shopping and it is a 50-minute boat ride to Armature Works! This is island-inspired living amidst the bald eagles, herons, bunnies and turtles —tranquil, elegant, and close to everything. This is more than a home. It’s a lifestyle. Come see it for yourself!
