This well-kept 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, two-story home set in the Plantation neighborhood of Carrollwood keeps you close to everything Tampa has to offer. Privately tucked behind a gate, you’ll first step into the screened-in front patio— where there’s space to sip your coffee, read a book, or simply enjoy the breeze without the bugs. Whether you’re setting up your weekend charcuterie board or watching the rain fall from the comfort of a covered space, this is where real Florida living begins. Inside, the open living and dining area features a bold accent wall that adds warmth and style, with sliding glass doors pulling your eye (and the breeze) right back out to the patio. The kitchen includes marble countertops, a passthrough window to the dining space, and its own set of sliding glass doors that open to a sunny side patio—perfect for an herb garden or a cozy bistro setup. The primary bedroom is located downstairs with a spacious walk-in closet and direct access to the full bathroom. Downstairs, you’ll also find the laundry closet and additional storage space. Upstairs, you’ll find two more bedrooms and a second full bath with a tub. One of the upstairs bedrooms is large enough to serve as a second primary and the other is perfect for an office or guest room. There's also a bonus storage closet upstairs— because we all need a place for the holiday bins and Costco runs. Recent Improvements include new electrical panel and surge protector (2024), water filtration system (2024), new HVAC (2023), hurricane shutters (2022), and owned solar panels (2021). Located in the amenity-filled Plantation community—where weekends can be spent at one of two community pools, on the tennis or basketball courts, or burning energy on the soccer fields and playgrounds. With easy access to Carrollwood, Citrus Park, and Westchase, everything you need is just around the corner. And if you need to jet across town, you're just minutes from the Veterans Expressway for an easy commute to Downtown Tampa, Tampa International Airport or even St. Pete/Clearwater.
