Tucked away on a sprawling and private .38-acre homesite in the Belle Meade community, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers the perfect blend of comfort, character, and outdoor living. A side-entry 2-car garage and oversized driveway provide both curb appeal and functionality, while the peaceful setting creates a true retreat-like atmosphere. Inside, the open great room seamlessly combines the living and dining areas, highlighted by vaulted ceilings, a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and abundant natural light streaming through sliding glass doors that lead to the expansive lanai. Entertaining is effortless with unique built-in features including a stunning buffet with wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and glass cabinet doors, along with a stylish wet bar complete with wood cabinets, granite counters, stainless sink, and glass shelving. The kitchen is bright and inviting, featuring white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a pantry, and a sunny breakfast nook overlooking the outdoor living space. The primary suite is a true retreat, offering wood flooring, serene views of the pool and backyard, a large walk-in closet, and a beautifully renovated en suite bath with white cabinetry, quartz countertops, dual vanities, a garden tub, and a walk-in shower. Both guest bedrooms also feature wood flooring, and the updated guest bath includes white cabinetry, granite countertops, and a tub/shower combination. Step outside to your own private oasis-an oversized, screen-enclosed lanai with a sparkling pool and spa, complete with a child safety fence and multiple covered and open seating areas perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The lush, mature landscaping creates a natural privacy barrier, making the backyard feel like a secluded escape. Additional upgrades include a New Roof (2021), Superior Hot Water Tank (2020), PGT Impact Windows (2017), Hurricane-impact Garage Door, Smart "Rachio" Sprinkler System, and Landscape Lighting. Located in a quiet, established Odessa neighborhood that feels tucked away, yet just minutes from all the shopping, dining, and amenities the Tampa Bay area has to offer-this home truly delivers the best of both worlds.
