COME HOME TO A 1/3-ACRE CORNER IN THE HEART OF SOUTH BRANDON with a long list of valuable improvements but no CDD, HOA or deed restrictions! After a half-century of change around it, this home has been transformed by big changes itself -- new HVAC, solar-panel power, replumbing and pipe lining, water filtration system, renovated kitchen and master bathroom, vinyl fencing with gates north and south, plus a living-space expansion of nearly 600 SF by remodeling the garage into a bonus room and adding a big carport in front! The house now has more than 2,140 SF under central air and another 324 SF in a Florida room beyond upgraded sliding doors in back. The expensively fenced yard provides an open patio, firepit, and a big storage shed in a landscaped corner. You'll love the location so close to Burns Middle School, Brooker Elementary and Saladino Park. Drive easily to other schools and recreation spots, shops and restaurants, offices, churches and more throughout Bloomingdale, around Brandon Regional Hospital, or anywhere along Brandon Boulevard. This home's long life here is noted in original living and dining room terrazzo floors, but you'll find modern bamboo floors in the wide-open kitchen and family room beside it (that the current owners choose as their dining area). The updated kitchen now features a center island, quartz counters, stainless-steel appliances, and plenty of floor-to-ceiling wood cabinets with crown molding as well as raised-panel or glass display fronts. A hallway leads to all 3 carpeted bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, including the tiled en-suite master bath with walk-in shower. Finally there's the largest room in the house, the garage-conversion bonus, which these owners use as a game and entertainment space but which also would be perfect as a home gym or office with its separate entry door! Make your appointment today to see whether this place fits your own lifestyle!
