11328 Minaret Dr., Tampa, FL 33626

Absolutely stunning! This 3 Bedroom W/ LOFT + OFFICE / 2 Bath / 3 Car Garage w/ Pool & Spa home was the model home for this community and is gorgeous! This premier lot w/ waterfront & conservation area views is nestled within the highly sought after gated "Mandolin Estates" neighborhood in the heart of the Westchase Area. You'll fall in love with the home as you walk into the beautiful entryway w/ views of the conservation area and on to the gorgeous dark hardwood floors, with elegant 6" baseboards throughout the entire downstairs common areas and the stairs. All the bedrooms, including the master, are downstairs and have been updated with "hardwood tile" to match the hardwood. The downstairs "office" (could be a 4th BR w/ added closet) is off the entryway foyer and is light and bright and prewired for any home office needs. The oversized kitchen features Darkwood stained 36" hardwood cabinetry with Corian® countertops and a “Chefs Dream” large cooking area w/ double oven, built-in range, kitchen island w/ breakfast bar, & breakfast nook, all of which overlooks the scenic pool, pond, and conservation area. No expense was spared w/ the most beautiful custom-built plantation blinds on all the windows, gorgeous! The Master bedroom has TWO walk-in closets and an ensuite bathroom with his and her sinks, large soaking tub & walk-in shower. The upstairs LOFT has its own dedicated AC system (fully replaced and updated in 2020.) and is perfect for a media room, recreation center, or gym. The outdoor pool/spa is truly the focal point of the home where you get to experience "The Best of Florida Living". The pool spa/hot tub has a fountain that overflows over glass tiles creating a waterfall spill-over into the pool. Both pool pumps are brand new (replaced in 2022). The tranquil fountain enhances the beauty of the pond and conservation area, with no rear neighbors. It is a beautiful area to relax, a romantic rocking swing has been placed here, and black aluminum fence surrounds the property but is "see through" so that pets can be kept safe too! Roof is in good condition but original so seller has received quotes for new roof and will reimburse buyer at closing (with a closing cost credit) for cost of a new roof. Mandolin Estates is a highly sought after gated community of just over 100 homes, within walking distance to both Deer Park Elementary and Farnell Middle schools ("A rated" schools) and convenient to all the restaurants and shopping within the Westchase Area. Truly a stunning home!
