Welcome to this privately gated estate home in Brandon. The residence sits on approximately 1.72 acres and features 6,297 sq ft of living space, with 8 bedrooms, 5 full baths, and 1 half bath. Double entry doors open into a sweeping two story foyer. The home enjoys a conservation view from nearly every room, giving a serene, private backdrop. Outdoor amenities include a saltwater, in ground pool and heated spa with waterfall features, all contained within a screened lanai. A spacious pool house (which could serve as a guest or mother in law suite) features its own kitchen, living area, and private access to the pool area. The pool house/In-Law Suite can be made into its own separate quarters if needed. Meticulous landscaping, a turfed play area, batting cage, and separate BBQ lanai complete the grounds. A circular driveway and a 3 car attached garage offers ample parking. Enter into a grand foyer with a winding staircase, open to a dramatic 24 ft coffered ceiling in the living room, which features views of the pool. The gourmet kitchen is outfitted with 42" cabinets, granite countertops, a large work island, crown molding, and tile backsplash. A newly enlarged pantry added off the kitchen that provides lots of storage space. Formal dining and living rooms provide space for entertaining. Gather in the theater room for a fun movie night. The main-level primary suite offers direct access to the patio and pool, double vanities, walk-in shower, and custom dual walk-in closets. Two additional bedrooms or flex spaces (office / craft / fitness) are located on the first floor. Upstairs, four bedrooms each have balcony access; two of those upper rooms open directly to outdoor balconies overlooking the pool.
