4710 RIDGECLIFF DRIVE BRANDON FL 33511 | MLS #TB8545074

Tucked at the quiet south end of John Moore Road, just before the Alafia River, this home sits in Hickory Ridge — right in the heart of Brandon’s sought-after Dogwood Hills area. This established enclave offers a level of privacy and space that is increasingly rare, set on an oversized 0.65-acre lot beneath a canopy of mature oaks with generous property lines and the complete freedom of having no HOA. Maintained with exceptional care by its original owners for 38 years, this 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom residence was built with substantial craftsmanship. Travertine floors ground the entry, kitchen, and breakfast nook, while light maple hardwood flooring extends through the rest of the main living areas and bedrooms. At the heart of the home, a dual-sided gas fireplace creates a natural focal point between the formal living room and the family room, where vaulted ceilings accentuate the open, light-filled layout. The kitchen is designed for serious cooking and effortless hosting, featuring custom-milled cabinetry with crown molding, task lighting, and backlit glass display doors. The high-performance KitchenAid appliance package includes an oversized built-in refrigerator, a commercial propane range equipped with an integrated steamer, a wall microwave, and a separate warming drawer. Imported Italian glass pendants illuminate the island bar, while a formal dining room provides an elegant space for larger gatherings. The primary suite is conveniently positioned on the main floor, offering direct sliding access to the pool deck. Its attached bath functions as a private sanctuary, complete with his and hers closets, double vanities, a deep jetted tub, and a dedicated steam shower. Upstairs, a versatile loft separates 3 additional bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, including a private en-suite setup. Thoughtful details throughout the layout make daily routines seamless, right down to the second-floor laundry chute that drops directly into the main laundry room with custom cabinetry. Out back, the entire outdoor living area was renovated in 2021 to create a seamless extension of the interior. A wide travertine deck and a resurfaced pebble-finish salt pool & spa are fully enclosed by a modern screen enclosure, anchored by a built-in kitchen with a Kenyon electric grill, beverage refrigerator, and a mobile island on wheels. Beyond the patio enclosure, the deep backyard offers a peaceful, private backdrop shaded by majestic oaks. Major systems have been thoroughly updated for total peace of mind, including a new roof, pool remodel, screen enclosure, and outdoor kitchen in 2021. The home also features high-impact FAS exterior doors and hurricane-rated garage doors (2019), two complete HVAC units with new upstairs ductwork (2018), double-pane PGT windows (2016), a Kind whole-house UV water filter, and a dedicated deep well that handles all outdoor irrigation. This setting pairs a peaceful, secluded atmosphere with immediate access to top-rated local schools, regional parks, shopping, and convenient routes straight into downtown Tampa for a straightforward commute. Homes like this in Dogwood Hills rarely come up for sale, and one this well cared for even less often. If you’d like to see this home in person, reach out today to schedule your private showing.
