This custom-built 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath pool home sits on a beautiful .85-acre fenced lot on a private road and offers the space, privacy, and flexibility that can be hard to find. With no HOA or CDD fees, there is plenty of room for your RV, boat, and recreational toys. Inside, you'll find a spacious split-bedroom floor plan with 10-foot ceilings, a family room, separate living room, and a home office or bonus room. The kitchen is open to the family room and offers a large island, breakfast bar, crown molding, recessed lighting, and plenty of space for cooking and entertaining. The primary suite features a large bathroom with dual sinks, a private water closet, walk-in shower, and separate garden tub. Double-pane Low-E argon windows and sliding glass doors bring in lots of natural light and offer beautiful views of the pool and backyard. The outdoor space is a major highlight, with a screened pool and lanai, plus an outdoor kitchen with a built-in cooktop, sink, and counter space. The pool was resurfaced with quartz and updated with pavers in 2020, along with newer pool equipment. There is also an oversized 20x30 detached carport with a 10x20 workshop, electric, RV hookup, and easy access to water and septic. Additional updates include a 2020 roof, HVAC heat pumps replaced in 2016, well pump and bladder replaced in 2019, updated screening, insulated fiberglass doors, and a water softener system. The reverse osmosis system is currently disconnected, but the space is still available if a future owner would like to add one. Conveniently located with easy access to Tampa, Lakeland, shopping, dining, and entertainment, this home offers the best of country living while still keeping you close to everything.
