Some homes stop you before you even reach the front door. With first impressions that truly deliver, this is one of them! Nestled on a generous 0.55-acre corner lot in Tracer's Lake Keen Estates of Lutz, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 2-car garage home offers 2,845 square feet of personality, privacy and pure fun. Framed by beautiful sweeping trees and a circular drive, the classic brick exterior & gracious, warm wood-columned, front porch sets the tone… unhurried and welcoming.

The updated & open kitchen features granite counters, stainless appliances, statement range hood with a direct sight line to the fireplace from the cook’s position, walk-in closet pantry, and a picture window that makes even doing dishes feel like a retreat. Dual breakfast bars are great for gathering and keep everyone close to the action. The bonus game room, with pool table included, is ready for a rematch any night of the week. The whole-house intercom, with music & talk features, sets an ambiance & keeps everyone connected.
