One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Tucked away in a gated New Tampa neighborhood, this spacious five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom home on a PREMIUM CONSERVATION/ POND-VIEW LOT comes packed with great features, including a dedicated office, an upstairs loft, and a three-car garage with a pavered driveway. Step inside the front door to a bright entryway with high ceilings, an elegant tray ceiling, and a staircase detailed with wrought iron spindles. The open floorplan lets in tons of natural light and is lined with plenty of recessed lighting, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout. The kitchen is perfectly set up for cooking and gathering, complete with beautiful quartz countertops, 42-inch cabinetry with crown molding, a cooktop with a sleek range hood, a huge walk-in pantry, and generous counter space. A convenient butler's pantry adds extra prep and storage space, making hosting a breeze. The large island with a breakfast bar is great for casual mornings, while the nearby formal dining space handles larger family dinners. There is also a bright dinette area with windows overlooking the pond. When you want to bring the outdoors in, the fully retractable sliders open completely from the main living area to the extended lanai. The layout offers plenty of flexibility for everyone. A second Master Suite is located right on the main level, featuring its own private sitting room that is perfect for guests or multi-generational living. Upstairs, the main primary suite is a peaceful retreat featuring a comfortable sitting area and large windows with beautiful pond views. Its private bathroom includes dual sinks and a separate garden tub. You will also find a large loft that makes a great game room or second TV spot, along with two additional bedrooms connected by a Jack and Jill bathroom. Practical features are everywhere, including a large upstairs laundry room where the washer and dryer remain with the home. The property is also equipped with a water softener and solar panels to help with utility bills. Outside, the extended lanai is the perfect place to unwind, and the large backyard offers more than enough space if you want to add a pool down the road.
