This 5 bedroom/3 bathroom home sits on a beautiful, quiet street in the highly desired Ballantrae neighborhood! The split bedroom, 2 story floor plan features the master bedroom with bathroom and large walk in closet on the main floor, as well as 3 other bedrooms and a 2nd bathroom. A versatile bonus room is upstairs, along with privacy for the 5th bedroom and 3rd full bathroom. The home has a formal living and dining room and breakfast nook space in the open kitchen, which flows into the family room. A laundry room connects the kitchen to the garage. Relax in peace and quiet with a lovely view in the backyard. Situated on a conservation area, the home features an extra large screened-in lanai as well as a sitting area shaded by a canopy - perfect for enjoying the in-ground fire pit on those beautiful Florida evenings! Sliders from both the master bedroom and the family room lead you to your backyard paradise! There is tile in the bathrooms and kitchen, and a beautiful vinyl laminate "hardwood look" floor installed last year through the downstairs living areas. The air conditioner was replaced in Sept 2019, and a brand new water softener was put in just last month. Ballantrae features a community pool, basketball and tennis courts, a covered playground, and a huge open field area, as well as a clubhouse by the pool with banquet area available for reservation. The neighborhood is very close to newer, A-rated schools, as well as shopping, restaurants, and recreation. Just 1.5 miles east of the Suncoast Parkway and 10 minutes from I-75, there is easy access to the airport, downtown Tampa, outlet shopping, and the main routes to the Bay area beaches!
