This beautifully appointed home offers 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms in the main house, plus a standalone poolside full bath with shower, and a bonus in-law suite with full bath above the oversized 3-car garage and workshop. Lots of exterior off street parking spots large enough to accommodate an RV. A stucco privacy wall and lush tropical landscaping wrap the backyard in seclusion, centered around a freeform saltwater pool with waterfall. Covered lanais offer space for both dining and cozy evenings by the fireplace, with a separate covered area with outdoor kitchen. Kids and pets will love the turf side yard, complete with a climate-controlled playhouse, swing set, custom sand box, and basketball goal. Inside, wood floors, crown molding, and built-in bookcases. Formal living and dining rooms anchor the front of the house, while a flexible den/playroom/office sits just off the family room. The chef's kitchen opens to the family room and features a large Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, coffee/beverage bar, along with a pantry and under-stair storage. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes dual walk-in closets, a spa-inspired bath with therapeutic shower, double vanity, and private water closet. Bedrooms 2 and 3 share a Jack-and-Jill bath, and bedroom 4 (currently office with closet framing pending) has its own en-suite. The laundry room is conveniently located on this level as well. A whole-home Generac generator adds extra peace of mind, and the home's FEMA Flood Zone X designation means no flood insurance is required. Built with solid concrete block construction on both levels and topped with a concrete tile roof, this home offers exceptional structural integrity. Attic and wall insulation are top-notch as well, thanks to a builder-owner who spared no detail in the original construction. Walkable to Plant High School, dining, and shopping- South Tampa living at its finest.
