About This Home
Rare Opportunity! Welcome to Bella Playa, a well-managed ten-home Planned Unit Development directly on the Gulf in Indian Shores. These are not condominiums; you own the land and the sand. Unit 5 is an exceptional end-unit townhouse, offering the perfect combination of luxury, comfort, and convenience right on the Gulf Coast. This appealing home features high ceilings and an array of high-end upgrades and premium finishes, making it a true standout in today’s market. Catch every sunset and the occasional dolphin from the west-facing balconies. Having the beach at your back door demands durable LVP flooring throughout, ensuring easy maintenance and lasting beauty. The home is wired for sound, bringing music and entertainment to every room. Brand new (2025), durable tile roof, along with new impact-rated French doors and sliding doors featuring “Turtle Glass” and Low-E coatings for enhanced energy efficiency and weather protection. HVAC equipped with an ultraviolet light system for cleaner, fresher air throughout the home. The private elevator provides effortless access between floors. Each spacious bedroom has its own en-suite bath. Elegant tray ceilings in the bedrooms add a touch of sophistication, and due to the end-unit advantage, an abundance of natural light creates an airy, open feel in every room. There's a laundry area tucked away on the same, second floor with the primary bedroom and bathroom for added convenience. Built in fire suppression sprinklers are tested annually. The generously-sized 3+ car garage has space for multiple vehicles and storage. Out the back door beckons a freshly-renourished, tranquil beach, providing a serene environment for beach walks, sunbathing, and water activities.
Bella Playa has a geothermal heated pool & hot tub, just steps from your door. Enjoy peace of mind with a gated entry and underground utilities, ensuring safety and minimal disruptions. Landscaping is currently undergoing a complete refresh. The HOA Fee takes care of: water; sewer; trash; common area and pool maintenance and common area electricity. The home is located at the intersection of Park and Gulf Blvds, making it convenient to local restaurants, shops and entertainment, like John's Pass (10 min) and Seminole City Center (7 min). It's a 30 minute drive to St Pete/Clearwater airport and 35-45 minutes to Tampa International.
With limited turnover in this sought-after community, an opportunity like this one doesn’t come around often. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of paradise—schedule a showing today and experience this incredible beachside home!
