About This Home

As of August 2025

**Huge price adjustment-act quickly on this fantastic value. Enjoy life at your own pace in this well-equipped villa nestled in the heart of the coveted Southshore Falls community. Southshore Falls is one of the premier 55+ communities on the Suncoast. Perfectly positioned near a tranquil greenbelt and within walking distance to the spectacular resort-style amenities, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath (with flex room), 1,408 sq. ft. villa offers the ideal blend of comfort, convenience, and active adult living.

From the moment you enter, you'll appreciate the open-concept split floor plan, high ceilings, and an abundance of natural light that create an inviting and airy atmosphere. The heart of the home is a well-equipped kitchen featuring granite countertops, a breakfast bar, tile backsplash, ample cabinetry, and a cozy dining nook—ideal for morning coffee or casual meals with friends.

The spacious living and dining areas flow seamlessly to the screened lanai—your own private retreat surrounded by lush landscaping and peaceful views. It's the perfect spot to relax with a book, entertain guests, or enjoy Florida’s beautiful weather year-round.

The primary suite is generously sized to accommodate a king-sized bedroom set and features a private en-suite with a zero entry walk-in shower. The guest bedroom and bathroom offer comfort and privacy for visitors because of the split design. Adding flexibility to the home is a dedicated flex space—perfect for a home office, reading room, or easily converted into a third bedroom to fit your lifestyle.

While this villa has been lovingly maintained and is move-in ready, it could benefit from a little TLC—giving you the opportunity to add your personal touch and make it truly shine.

Additional features include tile floors throughout, a newer 2023 AC, upgraded premium hurricane windows, and a spacious 2-car garage. And best of all—exterior maintenance is included, so you can focus on what matters most: enjoying your life without breaking a sweat.

Southshore Falls offers resort-style amenities without the burden of a CDD fee. Residents enjoy access to two lagoon-style pools, a resistance pool, fitness center, internet cafe, library, arts & crafts studio, billiards room, tennis and pickleball courts, bocce, putting green, shuffleboard, and miles of walking trails. The community lifestyle director ensures there's always something exciting on the calendar—from clubs and classes to events and excursions.

Conveniently located near shopping, dining, healthcare, and with easy access to I-75, US 301, and Hwy 41, you're just minutes from Tampa, Sarasota, and some of Florida’s most beautiful Gulf Coast beaches.

Come experience the relaxed elegance and vibrant energy of life at Southshore Falls. 163 Shell Falls Dr isn’t just a home—it’s your gateway to paradise.
