Why wait for new construction, when this one's already done?
This WestBay Pelican in Hawkstone skips the builder timeline entirely — move-in ready today, with over $40,000 in upgrades already finished. Across 3,300+ square feet, the layout delivers five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a first-floor in-law suite with its own full bath, a dedicated home office, and an upstairs bonus room — the kind of flexible square footage new-construction buyers often pay a premium to add later.
The finishes carry that same instinct throughout: Sonoma linen cabinetry, Calacatta Novello quartz counters, and 7"x22" Ventura wood-look tile set a tone that feels curated rather than standard-issue. The kitchen is the clearest expression of it — a built-in wall oven, exterior-vented range hood, glass-front cabinetry, and a center island anchor a space that opens straight into the living and dining areas. The pantry alone is worth a mention: oversized enough to double as a butler's kitchen, it's a detail many comparable WestBay homes skipped entirely.
Downstairs, the in-law suite offers real privacy for multigenerational living, guests, or a quiet workspace. Upstairs, a spacious bonus room leaves room to imagine — media room, home gym, second living area — while the primary suite stays tucked away as its own retreat.
Outside is where the home distinguishes itself most. The rear lanai is fully screened and extends onto a professionally built paver patio — a $30,000 addition on its own — overlooking conservation land with no direct rear neighbors. Mature oaks frame the view, and some mornings bring grazing cattle in the distance, a rare bit of quiet in a fast-growing suburb. Additional upgrades include a whole-home water softener and filtration system, custom front landscaping with rainforest stone, and a finished garage with a built-in workbench, storage cabinets, an extra storage unit, and an EV charger.
Hawkstone itself rounds out the case: two resort-style pools, playgrounds, dog parks, pickleball and multi-sport courts, and miles of walking and biking trails, all zoned for Barrington Middle and A-rated Newsome High. From here, FishHawk, Riverview, Brandon, Tampa, and MacDill AFB are all a short drive away, with I-75, US-301, and SR-60 close by, plus the 969-acre Triple Creek Nature Preserve and Triple Creek BMX minutes from your door — and Gulf Coast beaches, downtown Tampa, and both major theme park corridors within easy reach.
New construction can't offer any of this on day one. This home already has.
