WELCOME HOME to one of FishHawk Ranch's most versatile and sought-after properties, perfectly positioned just steps from the Aquatic Club, Park Square, and the exceptional amenities that have made FishHawk Ranch one of Tampa Bay's premier master-planned communities. With tranquil conservation views across the street, no front-facing neighbors, and a welcoming front porch framed by classic columns and brick accents, this remarkable David Weekley "Nissa" offers the perfect combination of location, flexibility, and peace of mind. Adding tremendous value is an impressive list of recent updates that allow you to move in with confidence. All exterior doors were replaced in 2023. In 2024, the roof, main HVAC system, and apartment water heater were replaced. In 2025, all windows in the main home were replaced, the entire interior was freshly painted, and the private apartment received a brand-new HVAC system. These significant investments provide years of worry-free ownership and reflect the exceptional care this home has received. What truly sets this property apart is the private apartment above the detached three-car garage—a rare and highly desirable feature offering endless possibilities for multigenerational living, extended family, long-term guests, a private home office, college student retreat, or potential income-producing opportunity. Complete with its own living area, bedroom, full bath, and kitchen, this separate residence provides flexibility and privacy rarely found in FishHawk Ranch. Inside the main home, timeless craftsmanship and thoughtful upgrades create an inviting atmosphere filled with natural light. Elegant crown molding, wide baseboards, designer lighting, and spacious gathering areas blend comfort and sophistication throughout. A dedicated office behind French doors offers the perfect work-from-home space, while the formal dining room is ready for everything from holiday celebrations to intimate dinner parties. The beautifully updated kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring custom cabinetry with upgraded drawer systems designed to maximize organization and functionality. Granite countertops, a tile backsplash, gas range, breakfast bar seating, and a sunny dining area overlooking the backyard create a space that is as practical as it is beautiful. The kitchen opens seamlessly to the expansive great room, making entertaining effortless. Upstairs, the spacious owner's retreat offers a private sanctuary complete with abundant natural light, an oversized walk-in closet, and an en-suite bath featuring dual vanities, and spacious shower. Additional bedrooms provide generous accommodations for family and guests. One feature you'll appreciate every day is the home's superior HVAC design.
