Some homes check the boxes. This one goes well beyond them. Set on one of the largest homesites in the gated Oakleaf Hammock community, this beautifully updated 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath pool home sits on an expansive 0.35 acre lot where thoughtful upgrades, privacy, and outdoor living come together in a way that's hard to find. The list of improvements is extensive, beginning with a brand new roof (2025), both HVAC systems replaced in 2023, all new impact glass windows (2026), and a whole home generator that provides peace of mind year round. Step inside and you'll immediately notice the warmth and durability of the premium luxury vinyl plank flooring installed throughout the first floor in 2024. Unlike builder grade products, this high end flooring was selected for its exceptional quality, realistic wood appearance, and timeless style. The living room is anchored by one of the home's true showpieces, a custom floor to ceiling stone fireplace featuring a sleek electric insert with integrated LED lighting that transforms the space into an inviting gathering area. Electric sunshades in the living room provide comfort and convenience while framing views of the beautifully landscaped backyard. The thoughtfully designed floor plan is equally impressive, offering a convenient first floor half bath for guests while keeping the private bedroom spaces separate upstairs. A spacious upstairs loft provides incredible flexibility and can easily serve as a second living area, media room, playroom, or home office. Updated bathroom vanities throughout the home add a fresh, modern touch while complementing the extensive list of improvements. The backyard was designed to be enjoyed, not just admired. Surrounded by lush professional landscaping that creates exceptional privacy, you'll find a sparkling pool and spa, an expansive paver patio, and a custom fire pit perfectly positioned to enjoy breathtaking Florida sunsets. Whether hosting friends and family or enjoying a quiet evening outdoors, this space feels like your own private retreat. Even the oversized three car garage has been thoughtfully upgraded with its own mini split air conditioning system, high lift garage door openers, and plenty of room for vehicles, storage, a workshop, or hobbies. With five spacious bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, generous living spaces, and countless updates already completed, this home offers the rare opportunity to simply move in and enjoy. Residents of Oakleaf Hammock enjoy the privacy of a gated entrance along with a community park and playground, all while being conveniently located just minutes from I 75, shopping, dining, excellent schools, and an easy drive to the Gulf Coast's world famous beaches. To make this exceptional home even more attractive, the seller is offering **$10,000 toward the buyer's closing costs or an interest rate buy down, providing additional flexibility and potential monthly savings. Beautifully updated. Exceptionally maintained. Designed for everyday living, effortless entertaining, and unforgettable sunsets. This is more than just a house. It's a home that has been thoughtfully improved and meticulously cared for, ready for its next chapter.
