Welcome home to The Retreat, a gated community in the heart of Brandon! This move-in-ready two-story townhome features all-concrete-block construction and a bright, open-concept main level where the kitchen (featuring a large, single basin sink), opens to the dining area and spacious family room, plus a guest half bath, a screened lanai and privacy fenced back yard. Upstairs, the private primary suite offers an en-suite bath and 2 walk-in closets, joined by 2 additional bedrooms, a full bath, and convenient upstairs laundry. An attached 1-car garage adds everyday storage. Use the portable A/C unit in the garage for comfortable workouts or side hustle activities (the unit is currently on the lanai). The home features a whole house, salt water filtration system and hurricane shutters. HOA dues cover road maintenance (privately owned roads), electricity for the street lights, gate maintenance/electricity, community pond maintenance, landscaping, mailboxes, the water bill for the entire neighborhood and the community sanitation lift station system. Gated entry, with low-maintenance living that frees up your weekends. Minutes from I-75, US-301, and the Lee Roy Selmon Expressway, you're an easy commute to Tampa, MacDill AFB, Tampa International Airport, and major hospitals - with all of Brandon's shopping and dining close by.
