20427 Carolina Cherry Ct
Price Drop Opportunity in Live Oak Preserve — 20427 Carolina Cherry Ct This is the one that makes sense. Spacious 5-bedroom, 3-bath home with 3,416 sq ft of bright, open living in one of New Tampa’s most desirable gated communities. Built in 2011 and sitting on a comfortable 6,250 sq ft lot, it delivers the room families actually need — generous island kitchen, flowing open layout, and space that doesn’t feel cramped. You’re not just buying square footage. You’re buying the lifestyle: top-rated schools, community amenities, parks, shopping, and easy access to I-75, downtown Tampa, and the beaches — all without the downtown price tag. In today’s 2026 market with more inventory and motivated buyers, this home is priced to move. The longer it sits, the more value it represents for the next owner. Rare combination of size, location, and realistic pricing in Live Oak Preserve doesn’t come around often. Schedule your private showing.
