This single-story block ranch is located on a highly desirable parcel of land that backs up to a peaceful nature preserve and a large pond with no rear neighbors. Driftwood Village is located within the Live Oak Preserve community in New Tampa. Live Oak Preserve is a wonderful, gated community that sits on 1,300 acres and nearly 1/3 of those acres are wetland preserves, ponds, and conservation areas. There are a vast number of wide walking paths throughout the community. Step inside this fantastic home with a great floor plan. Entering through the front door you will notice the high ceilings, and formal living room/dining area. The kitchen is in the center of the home and overlooks the rear family room and stunning backyard. Enjoy cooking in the generously sized kitchen with granite countertops, refreshed cabinets & hardware, a large island, and a pantry. This home has three great guest bedrooms with a large guest bathroom with a double vanity. There is a little office nook tucked away that is perfect for those who work from home. The primary bedroom and bath are located at the rear of the home which overlooks the backyard/pond/wetland preserve area. The primary bathroom is generously sized with a walk-in shower, soaker tub, double vanity, and additional storage. The primary closet has plenty of space as well. The family room has some great built-ins on either side of the sliding glass doors that lead out to the pool deck. Out back you'll notice the covered patio, vaulted bird cage, refreshing pool with a water feature, lush landscaping, and plenty of room to spread out. The backyard is completely fenced in with new wrought iron fencing that allows you to have a great view of nature everywhere you turn. This home also has some great updates recently including a new Rheem A/C system in the fall of 2023, new pool pump in 2023, new garage door motor and springs in 2023, new kitchen faucet, washer, dryer, and refrigerator in the last couple of years. The laundry room is just off the kitchen and has plenty of additional space for storage as well. Live Oak Preserve has a massive clubhouse right in the center of the community with a resort-style pool, fully equipped gym, playground, and multiple tennis and basketball courts. Just outside the community is all the shopping, dining, and parks you could ask for.
