Tucked inside the gated community of Tarpon Ridge, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath villa with a 2-car garage lives far larger than its footprint. Twelve-foot ceilings in the great room and a soaring 15-foot ceiling on the screened lanai carry your eye straight out to the water, where a fountain anchors the pond just beyond your patio. This home has been methodically maintained and it shows in the details: new luxury vinyl plank flooring in the main living area, freshly painted interior walls, and updated hardware, mirrors, and cabinet pulls throughout the kitchen and baths. The kitchen pairs granite counters with Whirlpool stainless steel appliances, including a new range/oven, plus an owned water softener and whole-house water filtration system. The primary suite offers a spa soaking tub, a freshly re-grouted walk-in shower, and plantation shutters. The big-ticket items are already handled: A/C and water heater both replaced in 2022, a tile roof maintained by the HOA, and custom hurricane shutters sized for every window. A pre-wired alarm system with door sensors is in place as well. The gated community's pool is just across the street. You are also minutes from Lake Tarpon, an adjacent nature preserve, and the Gulf beaches. There is NO CDD and NO Flood insurance required. Carefree Florida living, ready for its next chapter.
