This beautiful, light-filled corner townhome feels special from the start, with a private side entrance featuring a 9-foot entry door and a rare side paver patio. Inside, the foyer with art niche opens to a spacious open floor plan with 10-foot ceilings and a stunning 14-foot wall of triple sliding doors that pocket back to create an extra-wide opening to the tiled, screened lanai and extended paver patio overlooking a peaceful pond—making you feel right on the water. Mature cypress trees welcome summer shade. Built with quality and thoughtfully upgraded by meticulous owners, this home truly stands out. The kitchen offers ALL NEW STAINLESS-STEEL APPLIANCES(2025), solid wood cabinetry with 44-inch uppers, granite countertops, a closet pantry, and space for a dining table or coffee station. The lower level features tile flooring throughout, crown molding, and a half bath. The two-car garage provides ample space for shelving or an extra freezer and includes a separate utility closet with a BRAND-NEW HOT WATER HEATER (FEB 2026). Upstairs, vaulted ceilings and beautiful hardwood floors enhance the space. The spacious primary suite enjoys serene water views, an oversized walk-in closet, and an en-suite bath with a walk-in shower. A hall laundry closet—conveniently located near all bedrooms—includes a NEW WASHER AND DRYER ( 2025) plus extra shelving. Two additional generously sized bedrooms share a second bath with a tub/shower, along with an additional hall closet. All windows and sliders are impact-rated.

THE AIR CONDITIONER IS JUST ONE YEAR OLD, AND THE ROOF WAS REPLACED IN 2026. While the roof is the HOA’s responsibility, the recent replacement may help reduce insurance costs. Flood insurance is not required; however, sellers have an inexpensive policy in place that can be assumed at no cost through June. There was no flooding or power loss during Hurricanes Helene or Milton. The well-run community allows two pets with no size restrictions. The low HOA fee includes water, sewer, trash and recycling, high-speed internet, expanded cable, landscaping, irrigation, exterior building and roof maintenance, and a community pool with cabana. Ideally located just minutes from historic Tarpon Springs and Dunedin, the home offers easy access to world-class beaches, county parks, golf courses, shopping, and dining. Walk to nearby nature trails or hop on the 45-mile Pinellas Trail just across the street. The Jolley Trolley, operating seven days a week year-round, also stops very nearby.
