This delightful 4-bedroom, 3-bath home is nestled in the heart of Carrollwood, sitting on a fenced, spacious lot with lake access right in your backyard! From the moment you arrive, the inviting oversized front courtyard sets the tone — perfect for entertaining guests or creating your dream potted or herb garden oasis. Step inside to find a bright and airy open floor plan featuring a spacious living area and a kitchen/dinette combo — ideal for gatherings or cozy family nights in. The updated kitchen shines with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an abundance of natural light from a large skylight that makes meal prep feel magical. The sun-drenched primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a large window, a generous walk-in closet, and an ensuite bath with a vanity and a tub/shower combo. A porthole skylight fills the primary bath with soft, natural light, creating a relaxing, spa-like feel. Two additional bedrooms share a full bathroom—also featuring a porthole skylight—bringing in even more natural brightness throughout the home. The fourth bedroom is a true bonus — a converted garage that now serves as a versatile in-law suite, home office, or private guest space, complete with its own ensuite bathroom and walk-in shower. The possibilities are endless! Enjoy the convenience of indoor laundry and storage space with a newer washer and dryer (purchased within the last five years) plus an extra stainless-steel refrigerator. Step outside to your covered, screened-in lanai — perfect for relaxing evenings — or use the extended patio area for weekend cookouts and gatherings. A powered storage shed provides the perfect space for tools, toys, or hobbies. There’s no HOA or CDD! Yet, as a resident, you’ll still enjoy access to community amenities including a playground, picnic shelter, tennis and basketball courts, and open fields for outdoor fun. Conveniently located near the Veterans Expressway, top-rated schools, shopping, dining, and everything Carrollwood has to offer — this home truly has it all. Roof (2024), AC (2025).
