3001 El Greco Ct., Brandon, FL 33511

YOU WON’T FIND ANYTHING ELSE with this combination of size, style, and setting: an updated, upgraded, 2,600-SF pool home with a 2-stall barn on 3.3 acres of private, wooded country tucked away just blocks from all the suburban conveniences of South Brandon! This 45-year-old fortress hasn’t been on the market in more than 25 years, and few people even know it’s here at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and long, newly paved drive. You can escape with horses or other animals, boats or other big toys, less than 5 minutes from quality schools, shops, restaurants and more. The block-and-brick home is extensively renovated for resale with granite counters, tile backsplashes, stainless-steel appliances, engineered-wood floors, refinished pool, a replumbing completed in 2014, new AC in 2015, and reworked electrical / sprinkler operations along with fresh paint in 2016. The custom design welcomes you from a wide front porch and foyer to a central living room with built-in shelves around a fireplace. Off the front dining room is a den or office with built-in bookcases, and in back is a massive Florida room that leads to an outdoor oasis: a sprawling, split-level deck with pool, brick grill and lovely gazebo overlooking the pasture and barn. The master suite features 3 walk-in closets along with a remodeled bath, and 2 secondary bedrooms share a second hall bath. Extra spaces include a big laundry room, separate storage/workshop room, and a truly oversized, side-entry, 2-car garage. Is this the estate you’ve imagined?
