This beautiful, well maintained, home in the highly sought-after Golf Crest at Carrollwood Village is an absolute gem. With over 3,000 sq. ft. of living space, it features 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a 2-car garage, a pool, a pond view, and sits on an oversized lot. The first thing you will notice is the lush and immaculate landscaping, as well as the large custom stained window above the front entrance. Upon entering the house, you will be greeted with a large foyer, an open and expansive family room, and loads of natural light pouring in from the newer 4-panel Pella sliding contemporary doors. The sunken family room has high wooden, planked vaulted ceilings and a wood-burning stacked stone fireplace. The entire fireplace shoot was cleaned and the chimney was swept in January 2023.

The spiral staircase leads us to the second level, with 3 additional spacious rooms and a full bath. The backyard is the epitome of Florida living, with a large pool and covered lanai, as well as lots of space on the pool deck for entertaining. The large horseshoe pond and shaded oaks add to the magical ambiance. The garage is slightly oversized for storage and has a 3-layer Gallery door. Note the huge driveway and large side yards.
