8646 Manassas Rd., Tampa, FL 33635

Thoughtfully remodeled and built for Florida living, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath Town ’n’ Country home sits on a peaceful conservation lot framed by lush, mature trees, just minutes from Westchase and approximately 20 minutes from downtown Tampa. Mature oaks shade the front yard, and the home’s exterior has dormer windows, an arched entry, and a two-car garage. Few homes at this price have this many big-ticket items already done: impact-resistant windows throughout the entire home (second level and kitchen in 2017, first level in 2021), a new roof in 2018, central A/C replaced in 2018 and professionally maintained, a new water heater in 2022, recent exterior paint, and storm shutters for the front door and the arched windows. Step inside to a bright foyer with an arched transom and sidelight at the front door. It opens to a dramatic living room with soaring vaulted ceilings, half-round transom windows, and a beautiful staircase with crisp white railings that rises to a balcony-style loft overlooking the living room below. Wood-look porcelain tile flows through the main living areas of the first level. The dining area sits under a modern drum pendant and recessed lighting and connects to the kitchen through a granite breakfast bar, which keeps the layout open and easy for entertaining. The kitchen was remodeled in 2018 with white shaker-style soft-close cabinets and drawers, crown molding, granite countertops, a subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, a vaulted ceiling, and an arched window that fills the space with natural light. A separate built-in buffet adds another granite countertop, a deep bank of drawers, and floor-to-ceiling pantry cabinets, making it ideal as a coffee bar or for extra prep and storage space. The first-floor primary suite sits just off the living room, apart from the secondary bedrooms, and has its own en-suite bath. Both full baths were remodeled in 2019, including a spa-style bath with a dual-sink vanity and an oversized walk-in shower with frameless sliding glass doors, a rainfall showerhead, subway tile walls, a built-in niche, and a hexagon mosaic tile floor. The first-floor half bath was updated in 2018. Upstairs, the carpeted loft works well as a home office, media room, or reading nook, alongside two more bedrooms. Outside, the screened back porch overlooks a private backyard enclosed by white PVC privacy fencing (2021). The yard has a brick paver patio, paver walkways, and landscaped borders, with a backdrop of towering oaks and pines. New front and back irrigation keeps the 6,900 sq ft lot green with little effort. Everyday convenience is close by, with Westchase’s dining and shopping, Tampa International Airport, the Veterans Expressway, and the Upper Tampa Bay Trail all minutes away. International Plaza and Raymond James Stadium are a short drive, and the Gulf beaches are easy to reach. Updated, protected, and well located, this home is ready for you to move in.
