Welcome to the most affordable five-bedroom home currently available within 10 miles! Spread out in over 4,000 square feet of interior living space, featuring three and a half bathrooms, a spacious open-plan living/dining/kitchen area, an additional family/game room, and more. The chef’s kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, an oversized island with seating for four, and two walk-in pantries. An informal dining area separates the kitchen from the spacious living room, which features two sliding glass doors leading to the screened paver porch—one a triple-panel slider that retracts fully, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces during cooler weather or when hosting guests. The main level also includes a formal living room, a half bath, a spacious mudroom, and a laundry/utility room. Upstairs, double doors open to the spacious primary suite, featuring a tray ceiling, a double-sided walk-in closet, and a large bathroom with an extra-long double vanity, a glass-enclosed shower, a private toilet area, and three additional linen/storage closets. The bonus family/game room, also upstairs, provides easy access to four guest bedrooms and two guest bathrooms. Both upstairs bathrooms are large and feature a spacious vanity separated from the shower/tub and toilet. Three guest bedrooms include walk-in closets, and two additional upstairs walk-in closets provide ample climate-controlled storage. The three-car garage provides the necessary storage for vehicles, equipment, and tools, with the single-door bay easily convertible to a climate-controlled gym, office, or additional living space. With storms in mind, the current owner upgraded the exterior electrical panel for direct generator hookup, enabling easy powering of nearly the entire home. Additional updates made in 2024 include new 25-year exterior paint, a water heater, a water softener, and front landscape lighting. The Highlands Reserve neighborhood is conveniently located less than 10 minutes from grocery stores, restaurants, and other retail services; 12 minutes from Brandon Hospital; and 30 minutes from Tampa International Airport.
