Florida

A rare hidden gem on 1.62acres awaits, ONLY 30 MINUTES north of Tampa Airport. Built in 2003, this 4 bedroom plus office, 3 full bath pool home, offers 3,192 sq. ft. of refined living. NO CDD, LOW HOA, and a spotless record free from hurricane or flood impact, it delivers privacy, elegance, and peace of mind. Estate living begins as stately shade trees anchor the manicured grounds, casting a graceful canopy over the paver driveway that leads to a grand yet welcoming bay covered entry. Step inside: to the right, an office provides a quiet retreat; to the left, a formal dining room sets the stage for elegant gatherings, both with bay windows. The centerpiece is a soaring 12 feet high ceiling, highlighted with a tray ceiling up to 13.5 feet with detailed crown molding. Expansive sliding doors connect seamlessly to the patio and sparkling saltwater pool, fully enclosed by a newly rebuilt no-see-um screen for year-round enjoyment. Beyond, the landscaped backyard stretches 30 feet into conservation, ensuring no future construction and complete seclusion from neighbors, only the beauty of lush greenery and blooming flowers. The gourmet kitchen boasts stainless appliances, 42-inch wood cabinets with crown molding, granite countertops, island, bar seating, and breakfast nook, together comfortably can host 50 to 60 guests. The spacious 14x30 sq. ft. primary suite boasts the continuation of the living room’s impressive high-ceiling elegance and overlooks the serene backyard with bayed sitting area. Dual walk-in closets (including a custom California closet) and spa-inspired bath featuring dual vanities, makeup station, garden tub, and walk around shower. The left section of the residence offers two bedrooms and two full baths, plus a laundry room with utility sink and tons of cabinetry. A versatile fourth bedroom, currently a media room, can easily transform into an in-law suite with private patio entrance. The oversized three car garage space includes a bay for golf cart or workshop, plus a double-wide pull-across garage screen, instantly converting the garage into a breezy, pest-free space for hobbies, fitness, or entertaining. Located in the estate section of Quail Ridge, with just 42 homes (most on 1+ acre lots) within a larger community of fewer than 300, this residence offers serenity amid Tampa growth. Here, timeless Florida charm thrives. Wild turkeys and sandhill cranes wander leisurely, and giant turtles amble slowly along the conservation edge. On some days, deer pause quietly before disappearing into the trees, a living reminder of the peaceful rhythm of nature. Classical Preparatory School, an A-rated K–12 charter school, consistently earns an “A” rating from the Florida Department of Education, is within golf cart distance, enriching family life with top-tier education. Just 2 minutes from Veterans Expressway (589), enjoy quick access: 30 minutes to Tampa International Airport, 40 minutes to Downtown Tampa, and seamless routes to Westshore business district, International Plaza, and County Line Road shopping and dining. Living here means you will never miss Tampa Bay’s vibrant events, sports, or waterfront activities, while still returning home to peaceful estate living. Shingle roof (Sept 2021), HVAC 5-ton (July 2021) plus separate 2.5-ton for primary suite, brand-new septic (2025) and updated well system.
