Want to be in an updated home in Flood zone X but still close to the beaches all for under $300,000? This inviting three-bedroom villa offers a low-maintenance lifestyle with thoughtful updates, flexible living spaces, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Inside, an open and airy floor plan seamlessly connects the living and dining areas to a beautifully updated kitchen featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a pantry for additional storage. Ceramic tile flooring flows throughout the home, offering both style and practicality with no carpet anywhere! Just beyond the main living area, a light-filled Florida room provides a versatile bonus space, perfect for a second living room, home office, playroom, or whatever suits your lifestyle. Three spacious bedrooms, a beautifully updated bathroom, convenient indoor laundry, and an exceptionally large storage closet complete the interior. The oversized closet also offers intriguing potential, as owners of similar floor plans have converted this space into a second bathroom adjoining the primary suite. Outdoor living is just as inviting! Start your mornings with coffee from the front patio, unwind in the spacious screened-in rear patio, or enjoy outdoor activities in the inviting front or backyard. And with a roof from 2024, there's even more peace of mind. Bent Tree residents enjoy access to a community pool, tennis courts, dog park, and boat, RV, and trailer storage (confirm availability and costs with HOA). Ideally situated between I-275 and the beautiful Gulf beaches, this location offers easy access to everything that makes the Tampa Bay area so desirable. Easy living, thoughtful updates, and an unbeatable Florida lifestyle await!
