/in , , , , , , /by

(Your First Mortgage)
Welcome to this lovely Spring Hill home that is both cozy and spacious. Besides the curb appeal, a classic barrel portico entryway welcomes you to 1900+ square feet where you’ll find 3 large bedrooms, 2 baths, and a 3-car garage; a portion of which can serve as that workshop you’ve always wanted! With updates that include NEW ROOF BEING INSTALLED APRIL 2024, NEWER carpeting in the bedrooms, NEWER interior and exterior paint, NEWER vinyl flooring, and a NEWER A/C unit installed in 2019, you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy your morning coffee from the screened lanai while overlooking your landscaped grounds. The kitchen is bright and open, featuring stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, a walk-in pantry, and a convenient casual dining bar for those breakfasts on the go! When hosting parties and dinners you’ve got a formal dining area as well as extra space off the kitchen to accommodate your guests. The open and bright family room is wired for surround sound and gives access to the lanai area through sliding doors.  There’s even a great den that makes for an ideal home office, a personal gym, a music room, or a 4th bedroom. Both baths are spotless with the master boasting a wonderful soaking tub and a walk-in shower. Unlike many homes where the washer and dryer are in the garage, you’ll love the laundry room that offers access into the garage. Besides the LOW quarterly HOA fees (that include basic cable) and no CDD fee, this Spring Hill neighborhood is well located. Reach Mary Giella Preparatory school via the community’s walking path or check out the middle and high schools that are also highly rated. Quail Ridge is a charming, gated community nestled along a conservation area and accompanied by an assortment of biking and walking paths. Residents are free to board their golf carts to explore the ponds to fish, the playground to spend sunny afternoons, and the woodlands to catch glimpses of local wildlife. Jump on any number of nearby thoroughfares (I-75, I-4, Suncoast Parkway, I-275) to explore Florida, or take a 35-minute ride to Tampa International Airport. From your location, you are still a short drive to Home Depot, as well as a wealth of restaurants, medical facilities, country clubs and parks, and the one-of-a-kind Gulf of Mexico. There’s nothing NOT to love about this home and its encompassing amenities.

Besides water views and lush greenery courtesy of the neighboring conservation, this lovely 3-bedroom, 2 full bath home is RICH WITH RENOVATIONS…and plenty of space to enjoy family and friends. Besides the sunlit living and formal dining rooms, the stunning EAT-IN KITCHEN was UPDATED several years ago. Granite countertops and gleaming wood cabinetry are offset by stainless steel appliances and a stunningly tiled backsplash illuminated by under cabinet lighting. A casual dining bar is great for those quick bites on the go; it also makes for the perfect place to accommodate those holiday party platters! Natural light floods the adjacent family room (currently set up as a dining area). The versatility of this space as well as its placement just beyond the kitchen poses a multitude of design configurations, especially with one of three sets of sliders providing entrée to the incredible screened lanai. Accented with gorgeous pavers, this relaxation zone is multi-purpose. With half of the structure covered, you can enjoy it in all kinds of weather, while the other half is set up as a wonderful terrarium with a screened ceiling that disperses sunlight and raindrops to all your potted plants set in the rock garden. The rest of the outdoor space is just as idyllic. Another pavered section beyond the door is the perfect spot for your BBQ grill. A bench beneath a shade tree beckons as a quiet meditation corner. And the views? They speak for themselves. You’ll also love the privacy of the split bedroom floor plan. Both BATHROOMS were UPDATED several years ago. The master suite boasts lovely flooring, sliders out to the lanai, a smartly styled bath with a large walk-in shower and the “must-have” walk-in closet. Both of the other bedrooms are carpeted with the one currently being used as an office, offering sliders to the lanai from which to take those “working from home” breaks! With a NEW ROOF (2022), NEW ELECTRICAL PANEL (2022), and a NEW GARAGE DOOR (2023), the big-ticket items are all done. The community of Fairway Springs features a crystal blue pool and a generous clubhouse. This home’s ambiance is so relaxing, you’ll feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere accompanied only by peaceful vistas and the songs of the birds. What a perfect place to call your own.
