Experience waterfront luxury at its finest in Shellstone at Waterside. Brand new, never lived in, and positioned along one of the community’s most coveted big-water views, this exceptional Portside Model by Homes by Towne offers the rare opportunity to enjoy a finished, fully upgraded residence without the wait of a new construction build. Best of all, there are no remaining homesites available on this section of the big lake, making this a truly limited opportunity to own a brand-new home with a view that simply cannot be replicated today. From the moment you enter, refined finishes and thoughtful upgrades are evident throughout. The residence features zero carpet, wood-look plank tile flooring, upgraded insulation, elegant step-tray ceilings, and an impressive great room anchored by a custom fireplace with a dramatic floor-to-ceiling tiled feature wall and integrated LED accent lighting. The gourmet kitchen is designed to impress, showcasing premium Monogram appliances, Level 6 solid-wood cabinetry, a 36-inch gas cooktop, luxurious Calacatta Elysio quartz countertops, upgraded designer lighting, and a beautifully appointed butler’s pantry complete with wine cooler. A washer and dryer are also included, adding everyday convenience to this thoughtfully designed home. Every detail was selected to create a sophisticated yet inviting space for both everyday living and entertaining. Step outside and the true showpiece of the property comes into full view. The custom Pebble Tec saltwater pool features dual waterfalls, a sun shelf with bubblers, and an upgraded paver lanai, all framed by an Open View screen enclosure designed to preserve the spectacular, uninterrupted lake vistas. This is outdoor living elevated to another level. The home is equally impressive behind the scenes, with full hurricane-impact glass, high-efficiency Trane HVAC, a tankless gas water heater, smart-home prewiring, a four-camera CCTV system, polyaspartic garage flooring, and an EV charging circuit. Additional rough-ins are already in place for an outdoor kitchen and whole-home generator, providing both convenience and peace of mind for years to come. Shellstone at Waterside delivers a maintenance-included lifestyle complemented by exceptional resort-style amenities. Residents enjoy The Summit’s resort pool and fitness center, along with pickleball and tennis at Midway Park. This is more than a brand-new home—it is a rare chance to own a never-lived-in residence with an exceptional floor plan, extraordinary upgrades, resort-style outdoor living, and a big-water view that you simply cannot build today.

Heads up on that tax figure. On new construction, the number in the MLS is often the tax on the bare lot, not the finished home. Expect it to jump once the county reassesses with the house on it. How Florida reassesses new builds

CDD defaults to zero, and that is often wrong.Many Tampa Bay new-construction communities carry a Community Development District assessment of roughly $1,500 to $3,000 a year on top of HOA, and it is rarely included in a builder's payment estimate. Ask whether this address is in a CDD before you budget.
The tax figure in the MLS looks like a bare-lot assessment. It lists $7,345 a year, while taxing this purchase price works out closer to $32,670. On new construction the county reassesses once the house is finished, so budget from the higher number.

Here is what this listing's numbers say about the builder's position.
On the market 37 daysContext
Still relatively fresh. Expect the sales office to hold firmer here than on inventory that has been sitting.
Finished and standingWorth knowing
A completed home with a Certificate of Occupancy is inventory, not a future sale. Builders treat standing inventory very differently from a lot they have not broken ground on.
Where builders actually give
Rarely on the published base price. It sets the comp for every unsold home behind this one, and protecting it protects their appraisals. The real room is in closing cost credits, interest rate buydowns, and upgrades moved into the base. Asking for the right one in the right order is most of the job.
