WCI Communities is building a 105-home community surrounding Lake Mary Lou, which straddles Hillsborough and Pasco counties in Lutz, Florida.
The new community will feature lakeside home sites where homeowners can enjoy canoeing, kayaking or using a boat with a small motor, just outside their back door. The homes began selling on Nov. 23.
Prices start in the $300s for the smaller home sites in the Pasco County portion, called The Arbors. On the gated Hillsborough County side, The Estates, the homes will start in the $500s.
Lakefront homeowners have the option to build docks on the peaceful 35-acre Lake Mary Lou ranging from 500 to 1,000 square feet, once construction is complete. Boats with motors will be allowed but are restricted to 5 horsepower to protect the environment.
This new lakeside community will feature tile roofs, brick paver driveways, intricate exteriors and quartz or granite countertops. The floor plans range from the three-bedroom and two-bathroom Sterling at 1,623 square feet, to the four-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom Solana at 4,193 square feet.
“Monterey Grand Waterside offers a lifestyle that we see buyers wanting more of: upscale homes with luxury features in a relaxed waterfront atmosphere,” said Mark Metheny, division president for Lennar Tampa, the parent company of WCI. “The location is great, too – it’s conveniently located to most areas of Tampa because of its proximity to the Veterans Expressway.”
Homes in the community will feature Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ Home Designs and home automation, giving homeowners the latest in technology and connectivity. Amazon provides activation and support so the connected devices around the home function well together, with Echo Dot and Echo Show as your home’s technology hub.Kwikset® Kevo™ Smart Locks, Sonos® One Wireless Speakers, Lutron Caseta® occupancy sensors, Ring® Video Doorbells and Honeywell Lyric Round™ Wi-Fi Thermostats are among the standard features which come installed in the homes in Monterey Grand Waterside.
