12721 CARTE DRIVE, TAMPA, FL 33618

Finding a fully renovated ranch in the Lake Ellen area - on a lot this size, with no HOA - at this price is legitimately hard right now. This one is move-in ready in every sense of the phrase. The home has been rebuilt the right way: new electrical panel, new AC, luxury vinyl plank floors throughout, and a kitchen that would look right at home in a house twice the price.

Solid wood cabinets, granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, Tuscan stainless appliances - it doesn't feel like a 1970 ranch inside anymore. Both bathrooms are fully renovated - granite vanities, frameless glass shower in the primary. The white-painted masonry fireplace anchors the space between the living room and family room, separated by a barn door.

Split bedroom layout gives the primary wing actual privacy. Ceiling fans throughout. Outside: 11,205 sqft lot fully fenced with white vinyl, oversized concrete patio ready for entertaining, large storage shed, and a 2-car garage with opener. No HOA means no restrictions on boat, trailer, or RV parking - and with the circular driveway and oversized lot, you've actually got room to do it.

The curb appeal on this one - sage green exterior, mature oak, circular driveway - photographs better than almost anything in this zip code right now. Flood Zone X. No flood insurance required. No HOA. No CDD. Public water and sewer. Hillsborough County schools: Lake Magdalene / Hill / Gaither. Minutes from Dale Mabry, Carrollwood Village, and Veterans Expressway.
