Spacious & Secluded Retreat in the Heart of Brandon, FL – No HOA, No CDD! Welcome to this utterly unique and expansive 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom home, offering 3,484 square feet of versatile living space on a private, wooded lot (1.2 acres) at the end of a peaceful dead-end street. Designed with comfort, function, and flexibility in mind, this one-of-a-kind property combines rare features and modern conveniences in a serene setting – very reminiscent of a southern homestead lifestyle. The fifth bedroom is currently designated as a Media Center, utilizing the available space efficiently. This area of the home provides an ideal setting for hosting gatherings, movie screenings, game nights, or establishing gaming stations and homework corners. This area can also serve as the perfect in-law suite (with or without separate entrance) - creating a multi-generational abode! The possibilities are truly limitless. The interior features a distinctive floor plan that offers ample space, storage, and privacy throughout the home. The inviting family room boasts wood floors and ceiling beams giving a rustic touch along with a brick, wood-burning cozy fireplace for warm and inviting ambiance. The primary bedroom boasts an 11’x8’ walk-in closet complete with built-in features. There are two hot water heaters (one that is solar powered) and three AC units for energy efficiency and comfort. The enormous fully screen-enclosed Florida room with dual skylights is perfect for year-round relaxation or entertaining family and friends. Your new lanai overlooks the immense, manicured backyard and the sprawling pool (with fountain feature). Sip some lemonade, enjoy your favorite book, and just listen to nature! The features of your outdoor oasis are plentiful! The private inground pool with spa is surrounded by nature for ultimate seclusion. All pool equipment and toys are discreetly stored in a separate, detached pool pump house. The circular driveway carves a beautiful pathway through the mature, wooded front yard. A separate detached oversized garage and 3-car carport with an EV charging station offer ample parking for guests. Let us not forget about the Solar Panels (completely paid off) that heat the hot water, cool the home, and keep those electric bills to a minimum (offering long-term savings). This estate is a rare find offering space, privacy, and sustainability all in one package. >Don't forget to Take the Virtual Tour (enjoy a 3-D Walk Through with or without furniture and envision YOU living this Florida Life)
