HILLTOP DREAM. Yes, there are hills within an hour of Tampa, FL! Panoramic views surround this 5 BR 3.5 bath custom quality home on 5 acres of gently rolling open land. This well-maintained ESTATE STYLE property with ½ court basketball, recently resurfaced 40x20 DEEP POOL with cage, detached 3 bay garage with finished space, 2 stall barn & large LIVE OAK COURTYARD style paver patio with LED string lights makes anything possible. The CIRCULAR DRIVEWAY with elegant outdoor lanterns and full deep porches on front and back invites you into a classic beauty with engineered bamboo hardwoods, crown molding, French doors & large windows with beautiful views in every direction. Plentiful quality soft close wood cabinetry & brushed stainless appliances equip this kitchen for large gatherings, while beautiful white quartz stool ready counter tops with large CAST IRON SINK overlooks an ample dining area with a bay of 5 large windows framing green grass & mature trees. Look out and see the inviting pool or play pool on your own table as you flow into the next room with its large windows and 2 sets of French doors leading to the large porch or into the most spacious airy living room you could ask for. Six large windows light up the room with natural light & the upgraded Lutron dimmer controls allow perfect ambience with 14 can lights & luxurious neutral new carpet for a soft feel. The spacious first floor main suite is inviting with a bay window & private door to the back porch. Solid wood SLIDING BARN DOORS enter into both the walk-in closet & updated en suite bath with porcelain tile floors, double vanity quartz tops, & frameless glass tiled shower. The elegant HARDWOOD STAIRCASE is centered in the home, with a perfect updated "under the stairs" powder bath. Take the staircase up to a light filled hall lit by CHARMING DORMER WINDOWS with new luxury carpet that flows into each bedroom for quiet upstairs footsteps. Two gorgeous full baths make the four spacious additional bedrooms a comfortable beautiful retreat. The spacious center hall bath has double vanity, granite tops, separate water closet, transom windows, & classic tile floor and wood cabinetry for historic but updated appeal. Another roomy bath has white beadboard with white ceramic tile & pedestal sink with tub/shower for a bright classic look. The hall laundry is located conveniently along the dormer side of the hall where numerous deep closets create storage galore for this home. These truly spacious bedrooms each have large closets. That's great, but THE VIEWS FROM THESE WINDOWS ARE BREATHTAKING. Hay bales on the West field, horses to the South, a large farm stand and cows to the North, & the courtyard patio & pool to the East. Even with all this rural beauty, you're still connected - the latest fiber optic internet access is here! Property is about 15 miles east of the Gulf Coast for afternoon breezes that make their way over the hills to our porches. It sits comfortably between US Hwy 41 and I-75 to get to Tampa, Orlando, or the beaches more quickly than you might realize! Brooksville is an ideally sized town to explore & enjoy. The Weeki Wachee, Withlacoochee, & Homosassa rivers & springs are calling for boats & kayaks! The Croom Rec area & Withlacoochee National Forest can be seen from the porches, & offer incredible hiking, horse trail riding, & rec vehicle roads & trails. This place is fun!
