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.
