1601 Dumont Dr., Valrico, FL 33596

FIRST TIME ON THE MARKET for this one-owner, well-tended home in popular Bloomingdale! New granite counters, real hardwood floors, and recently replaced Berber carpet are some of the obvious upgrades, but there's also an updated A/C and dimensional-shingle roof to give you confidence. The 1,826-square-foot design begins with a central living room featuring a stone fireplace and custom wet bar under vaulted ceilings. To the left are 3 bedrooms and 2 baths; to the right is a formal dining room adjacent to a tiled kitchen. A long breakfast bar separates the food preparation area from a tiled family room with sliders to the back lanai. French doors from the living room also open to this 320-square-foot screened space, which overlooks a privacy-hedged yard. Of course, you get more than the house in Bloomingdale; you get the excellent education, recreation and location advantages of this low-fee, long-established neighborhood close to schools, shops, restaurants, parks, playgrounds, the local golf club, the Campo Family YMCA and more. This one's an easy choice!
