This charming cottage-style home stands out from the rest with a long list of thoughtful, high-quality upgrades that go far beyond typical builder-grade finishes. Offering convenient one-story living, this meticulously maintained home combines comfort, style, and true move-in-ready appeal. The exterior features hurricane shutters, an added water softener and whole home filtration, and an irrigation system for the front and side yards. A standout feature is the addition of the oversized covered and screened lanai—creating a private, bug-free outdoor living space that truly sets this home apart within the community. Inside, you’ll immediately notice the elevated finishes, including new luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout all bedrooms and main living areas, along with an enhanced lighting and ceiling fan package. The kitchen is both functional and stylish, showcasing real granite stone countertops, a designer backsplash, a spacious walk-in pantry, and a breakfast bar with seating. The primary suite has been thoughtfully customized with a California Closets built-in system, offering both elegance and organization. The en-suite bathroom continues the refined feel with dual vanities and a beautifully tiled shower—an important distinction from the standard fiberglass inserts commonly found in neighboring homes—along with a large linen closet. Both bathrooms also feature upgraded higher-quality toilets from what the builder installed. Additional features include the washer and dryer that stay with the home, as well as an HVAC system maintained on a regular service plan. As the original owner, the home has been exceptionally cared for with attention to detail throughout. Located in the desirable Carriage Pointe community with resort-style amenities—including a pool, tennis and basketball courts, playground, gym, and clubhouse just an 8-minute walk away. This lot is quietly tucked away off the main roads yet also offers easy access to I-75, Downtown Tampa just 13 miles away, and MacDill Air Force Base just 22 miles away. If you’re looking for a home that rises above typical builder-grade options, this one delivers with comfort, quality, and standout features throughout in a central location.
