Welcome to easy Florida living in this beautifully maintained 2-bedroom, 2-bath home with a bonus room, offering 1,404 square feet of comfortable space designed for relaxed, low-maintenance living. Built in 2006 by Jacobsen and meticulously cared for, this home truly shows like new. Step inside and you’ll immediately notice the elegant luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout—there is no carpet anywhere in the home, creating a clean, modern look that is both stylish and easy to maintain. The updated kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, providing a modern space that is perfect for everyday living or entertaining guests. All kitchen appliances were replaced during the kitchen update approximately eight years ago, and the home also includes a washer and dryer of the same age. Important updates provide added peace of mind: the roof is only 8 years old, and the air conditioner was replaced just 2 years ago. Even better, this home experienced no damage from last year’s hurricanes, offering additional confidence for the next owner. One of the highlights of this property is the peaceful water views you can enjoy from multiple areas of the home. Relax with your morning coffee in the air-conditioned sunroom, unwind in the screened patio, enjoy the outdoors on the open patio, or simply take in the view from the kitchen. Outside, you’ll find beautiful landscaping and rain gutters, adding to the home’s curb appeal while helping protect your investment. This home is located in a land-owned 55+ community with only 94 homes, creating a quiet, friendly neighborhood atmosphere that residents truly enjoy. Even better, the community is pet friendly and allows two pets of any size or breed, which is a rare and valuable feature. The community offers outstanding value with a low HOA fee of just $125 a month, which conveniently includes lawn maintenance, giving you more time to enjoy the Florida lifestyle. Residents have access to a welcoming clubhouse featuring a large gathering room with a kitchen, a fitness room, and a heated pool. The social calendar is full of activities including cards, parties, karaoke, banquets, and live entertainment, making it easy to meet neighbors and stay active. Location is another major advantage. You’ll be close to shopping, restaurants, beautiful Gulf beaches, the airport, and St. Petersburg, putting everything you need within easy reach. Whether you’re searching for the perfect winter retreat or ready to trade that snow shovel for some suntan lotion, this home offers exceptional value, comfort, and lifestyle.
