Under contract-accepting backup offers. Welcome to this North Brandon hidden gem-a 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home that offers character, space, and a layout you don't see every day. As you arrive, you're greeted by a charming brick-covered front porch-the perfect spot for morning coffee or a quiet evening. Step through the front door into a welcoming foyer that immediately sets the tone for the home. From here, French doors lead you into a warm and inviting living room, complete with a wood-burning fireplace, brick surround, elegant box molding, and plantation shutters overlooking the front yard. The adjoining formal dining room features built-in cabinetry and classic detailing, creating a great space for gatherings. From the dining room, the home opens up in a way that truly surprises you. You step into an incredible 32' x 28' space that goes far beyond a typical “great room.” With soaring 16-foot ceilings, exposed wood beams, and rich cypress walls and ceilings, this room is a true showpiece. It's designed for living and entertaining on a grand scale, with a large gathering area centered around a stone fireplace, built-in bookcases and cabinetry, a desk nook, bar area, and plenty of room for an oversized dining table. Expansive Anderson windows fill the space with natural light, while French doors draw your eye straight out to the lanai and pool beyond. Continuing through, you'll find the kitchen, well-equipped with abundant cabinetry, a double oven, and a separate cooktop, all positioned conveniently between the main living spaces and the foyer for easy flow throughout the home. From the foyer, the split-level design offers both privacy and flexibility. One staircase leads down to the fourth bedroom and half bath-currently used as a spacious home office, ideal for today's work-from-home needs. The other staircase leads upstairs to three generously sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including the primary suite with its own private ensuite bath. Step outside and you'll discover a true backyard retreat. The oversized screened lanai opens to a large pool and expansive deck, offering plenty of space for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying Florida living year-round. There's also an outdoor kitchen area that makes this space even more functional for hosting. Additional features include a temperature-controlled two-level, 300 SF storage room, an oversized air-conditioned 2-car garage with an insulated door, and a one-of-a-kind, custom 7-foot concrete fence that adds both privacy and uniqueness. The home's curb appeal stands out with its lush lawn, classic red brick exterior, shutters, and inviting front porch. Located in the heart of Brandon, this home offers convenient access to shopping, dining, and major roadways. A new roof was installed in October of 2023.
