This Victorian-style estate home offers the best of both worlds highlighted by a 1.26 acre private and lushly landscaped lot along with a 3,691 sq. ft. home. Conveniently located in Brandon and just 20 minutes from downtown Tampa, this Shady Hollow location offers a warm "country” feel while providing easy access to city life (close to mall, schools, restaurants and minutes to I-75 and the Selmon Expressway). Nestled amongst grand oaks, magnolias and citrus trees, the two-story, pool/spa home features 5 bedrooms (one being a private guest suite above the garage), 3.5 bathrooms, a two-story family room and copious storage options. The master suite is on the first floor and includes a bay window with seat storage, walk-in closet, bathroom with garden tub, separate shower, dual sinks, granite countertops and a beautiful stained-glass window. The two-story family room fills with natural sunlight from large windows providing an open and airy feel. As the center of the home, the family room is encompassed by a ½ bath, a formal living room, formal dining room, eat-in kitchen and separate laundry room, all flowing perfectly for small get-togethers or large parties. Just upstairs are three bedrooms, an office space and the large, open landing that overlooks the family room. Rocking chairs and iced tea awaits the large wrap-around patios and the second story balcony…all perfect for enjoying what this property has to offer…a bit of peace and quiet in nature. Not only is there an oversized, attached two-car garage, there is also a detached multi-functional structure (52x22) that is a tandem garage, has an upstairs storage space, and a separate room for work-out or another home office.
