About this home
14868 SUMMER BRANCH DRIVE
Move-in ready and built for the way families actually live. This 2024 Homes by WestBay Pelican — 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 3,442 sq ft — is barely a year old with every upgrade already done. No construction wait. No builder delays. Just walk in and start living. The main level flows effortlessly from the grand room through the chef's kitchen and sun-filled café to the covered lanai through an expansive 16-foot sliding glass door. Sonoma Linen cabinetry, Frost MSI quartz countertops, a professional gas appliance package, and luxury vinyl plank flooring set the tone. A first-floor bedroom and full bath provide flexibility for guests, in-laws, a home office or a gym. Upstairs, the owner's retreat is tucked privately at the rear — walk-in shower, soaking tub, and generous walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms and a large bonus room occupy the opposite side, giving everyone their own space. Thoughtful upgrades throughout: 8-foot main-level doors, square headers, tankless gas water heater, quartz in every room, and a $25,000 design center package already invested into the finishes. The backyard is a blank canvas — fully sodded and irrigated. Pool, summer kitchen, gazebo or wide-open green space; it's ready for your vision. Hawkstone offers resort-style amenities and is zoned for A-rated Fishhawk Creek Elementary, Barrington Middle, and Newsome High. Just outside your door: the 969-acre Triple Creek Nature Preserve, Triple Creek BMX, Lithia Springs Park with crystal-clear spring swimming, Alderman's Ford for kayaking, and the FishHawk Aquatic Center. Minutes to US-301 and I-75 for an easy commute anywhere in Tampa Bay. Everything is new. Everything is under warranty. And unlike new construction, there's no 8-month wait — just a closing date and a set of keys.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
