YOU'LL LOVE THE LOCATION of this executive pool home on a cul-de-sac in Lithia Ridge, with 1/3 acre providing both open space and a privacy-fenced area, expanded parking behind a gate with water and electric for a boat or RV, plus a wooded view that makes it easy to forget you're so conveniently close to the great schools and shops of FishHawk and Bloomingdale! Well-kept by its original owners, it boasts a roof replaced in 2008, A/C in 2009, fresh interior paint in 2014, all floors of ceramic tile or wood laminate, and a closet in a flexible front room that makes this a true 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home of over 2,850 square feet. Three sets of sliders from the living room, family room and master suite lead to a pool lanai with both screened and roof-sheltered sections for all-weather entertaining. A serving window to the lanai opens from the octagonal kitchen, which features brand-new stainless-steel appliances, upgraded tongue-and-groove cabinets, an angled snack bar and a separate breakfast nook. The family room adds a fireplace, and the back bathroom also opens to the pool for convenience. Other extras include a utility shed beside the gate-protected parking pad. Lithia Ridge offers its own playground park and some of the best schools in all of Florida: A-rated Lithia Springs Elementary, Randall Middle and Newsome High. See this one today!
