Well cared for, convenient location, friendly neighbors, quiet community and exterior maintenance-free, it is all here in this Venetian Bay home. The owners have added tasteful updates including engineered hardwood flooring throughout the living spaces and bedrooms and new porcelain floor tiles in the kitchen and master bath. Crown moldings are found in the voluminous ceiling in the living room as well as in the upstairs bonus room and master bedroom. Tile backsplashes were added in the kitchen. The kitchen space is more efficiently utilized with the installation of additional all wood cabinets and a built-in desk/workspace. You will find lots of storage in the kitchen with 2 pantry closets and an under the stairs storage nook accessed from the laundry room. 8' high slider doors bring the water views inside and provide access to the outdoor patio. Relax on the back patio which was enclosed with a knee wall and finished off with pavers and a roll away awning that provides shade in the warmer months. The downstairs ½ bath was updated with a vessel sink, granite countertop and lighting. Stainless steel kitchen appliances were recently replaced including the refrigerator and microwave (both 2019) and dishwasher (2020). The HVAC was replaced in 2018 and has had annual maintenance. The roof was also replaced in 2018. Upstairs in the spacious master bedroom suite you will find great storage with 2 walk-in closets. A new seamless glass shower enclosure was added in the master bath. The bonus family room, found at the top of the stairs, is complete with another walk-in closet, and has the potential to turn this room into a 4th bedroom. Storage is no problem with both an attached secure storage room accessed from the back porch as well as storage racks in the 2-car garage. All windows have had a security film added and have hurricane panel protection. The Venetian Bay HOA maintains the roof, all building exterior and the lawn and grounds. Access to a well maintained community pool, hot tub and playground are all added benefits of life in Venetian Bay. This home is located right in the heart of the Tampa Bay area with easy access to everything - downtown St Pete (8 miles), Pinellas County beaches (25 minutes), downtown Tampa (13 miles), MacDill AFB (9 miles), Tampa International Airport (15 minutes).
