Description

Perfectly positioned on a spectacular conservation lot in the gated village of Ashington Estates within the prestigious Tampa Palms community. This beautifully upgraded pool home offers the ultimate blend of privacy, elegance, and functionality. Boasting 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a dedicated office, bonus room, and a 3-car garage. This residence spans 2,788 square feet of well-designed living space. From the moment you arrive, the brick paver driveway, manicured landscaping, and glass front door create a lasting first impression. Step inside to discover soaring ceilings, decorative art niches, and a thoughtful split-bedroom floor plan with 24x24 ceramic tile imported from Spain throughout the common areas. The formal areas are complete with tray ceilings, art niches, arched doorways, and large windows that pour in natural sunlight. At the heart of the home is the chef-inspired kitchen, upgraded in 2021 with granite countertops, a stylish backsplash, and a modern sink, all complemented by newer appliances (2019). The space opens seamlessly to the family room and formal dining areas, with expansive windows overlooking the pool. The owner's retreat is a private sanctuary featuring sliding glass doors to the lanai, dual walk-in closets, elegant architectural columns, and direct access to the home office. The spa-like ensuite bath was upgraded in 2023 with granite countertops, new sinks, and mirrors. It also offers dual vanities, a garden soaking tub, a separate shower stall, and a dedicated linen closet. The primary bedroom also features new carpeting installed in 2025. The secondary bedrooms are generously sized and thoughtfully positioned within the split floor plan, offering comfort and privacy for family or guests. In 2021, the carpeting in all three guest bedrooms was replaced for a refreshed feel. Tucked away at the back of the home, a hobby room and guest bedroom with a full bath provide an ideal setup for multi-generational living or visiting guests while enjoying complete privacy.
