7506 Tangle Brook Blvd., Gibsonton, FL 33534

THIS BRAND-NEW HOME SOLD IN MAY, but the sale wasn't posted to the MLS. In November, the first owner faced an unexpected move out of Florida and briefly listed it for sale before withdrawing from the market as he considered renting it out instead. For statistical purposes at the close of 2013, this is being used to record the first sale. This 2-story, 2,550-sf design features big living and dining rooms and a wide-open kitchen with an extra "flex room" beside the downstairs bathroom, then a huge master suite with two other large bedrooms and a bath upstairs in addition to a sprawling bonus loft that's ideal for playtime! Larger clans could convert the bonus into more bedroom spaces, and any size family will appreciate the convenience of the upstairs laundry room. Other amenities include long stretches of wood cabinets in the kitchen, which features a center island/breakfast bar near sliders to a back yard view of wooded conservation land. KB Homes also boasts award-winning energy efficiency: 2013 Energy Star Partner of the Year and #1 Green Homebuilder in the most recent Calvert Investments Study.
