Solid block and brick pool home on a 0.36 acre lot in Brandon's established Countryside Manor, with no HOA, no CDD and flood zone X. The expensive work is already done: new roof (2024), new A/C (2024), new pool pump and filter (2026), updated pool screen enclosure and new garage door opener (2025). Inside, plantation shutters and double pane windows fill the home with light, a wood burning fireplace anchors the family room, and separate living and dining rooms give you space to spread out. The air conditioned sun porch is the favorite spot in the house, overlooking the pool and ready for a home office, gym or morning coffee. All three bedrooms have walk-in closets. Out back, the screened pool and fenced yard turn every weekend into a staycation, with room left for gardens or a workshop, and an irrigation well keeps it green without a big water bill. Location is the hidden win: Paul Sanders Park is about half a mile away, Publix at Bloomingdale Square is about 2 miles, and Brandon Exchange, HCA Florida Brandon Hospital, I-75 and the Selmon Expressway are all within about 4 miles. Easy commute to downtown Tampa and MacDill.
