An architect-designed modern estate overlooking West Lake, this newly completed custom residence delivers a rare combination of contemporary design, resort-style outdoor living, and construction engineered for Florida. Set behind a private electric gate on a fully fenced homesite, the residence offers 3,150 heated square feet and 4,819 total square feet, with lake views, a heated pool, multiple covered entertaining spaces, and architectural details seldom found together in Carrollwood new construction.nnDesigned by Tampa-based RIOS Architecture under the direction of Florida-licensed architect Alex Rios, the home reflects a cohesive vision carried from its bold exterior form through every interior finish. Two-story concrete-block construction, a standing-seam metal roof, Miami-Dade HVHZ impact-rated windows and doors, a hurricane-rated garage door, 400-amp electrical service, copper plumbing, dual-zone Trane HVAC systems, enhanced wall insulation, a tankless water heater, and universal EV charging provide the substance behind the style.nnInside, 10-foot ceilings on both levels, expansive glass, wide-plank glue-down engineered hardwood, large-format porcelain, and a dramatic floating staircase with motion-activated lighting create an immediate sense of scale and refinement. The great room is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling porcelain fireplace surround and opens through 8-foot sliders to the pool and covered lanai, allowing everyday living and entertaining to flow effortlessly o
