ENJOY PRIVATE, PONDVIEW SUNSETS FROM YOUR SCREENED BACK PORCH in a great neighborhood close to schools, shops, restaurants, recreation spots and countless other advantages! This smartly designed, beautifully floored, recently roofed, and carefully maintained home is in Charleston Corners beside the Countryway Golf Club. For a low $170 HOA fee quarterly, you get a private recreation center with pool, spa, playground, lighted tennis courts and more. The Upper Tampa Bay Bike Trail is just a few blocks away, and the location is great for access to Gulf Coast beaches, downtown Tampa or St. Petersburg. In 2 stories and 1,750 square feet, you'll find 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a spacious loft / flex room overlooking a wide-open living/dining/kitchen area that features a towering, brick fireplace under the soaring ceiling. A French-doored master suite is on the first floor, in the back corner opposite the screened lanai. The front-corner kitchen features stainless-steel appliances, plenty of white cabinets, and a windowed breakfast space on the sunrise side. No carpet at all in this home, just high-quality wood laminate that complements the casual, beachy style throughout. Even the front door is tucked into a screened portico so you can open up a front-to-back breeze when you wish. The 2-car, side-entry garage provides access to a front hall with convenient guest lavatory. And here's your third chance to buy it! Contracts Feb. 13 and March 11 both failed because of unqualified or unserious buyers!
