Looking for the safety and low-maintenance nature of condo living with the privacy of a single family home? Look no further than this conveniently located 1st floor condo in the 55+ community of Paradise Shores. This well maintained 2 bed / 1 bath has a carport just outside the door and the community laundry room is only steps away. Upon entry you find a large den with plenty of natural lighting from the large windows. Through the galley kitchen with plenty of storage and recessed lighting you will find the large dining room/living room area which is the perfect place to beat the summer heat and relax and unwind in privacy. The bathroom with a walk in shower and safety grab bars is conveniently located in-between both bedrooms which adds to the flow of this private-feeling floorplan. The large master bedroom features a window to the sunroom allowing for natural light and offers ample storage space. This is a prime community if you would like the option to rent out your unit for a portion of the year – it is rare to find a condo community with a 3 month lease minimum (see additional rental rules and regs). Location is a short distance to the Bay Pines VA facility, shops, restaurants, and beaches. This community is extremely walkable with a Publix located directly across the street. As for community features, you will find a heated pool at the center of the community along with community room for events, a full kitchen, bocce ball and shuffleboard, and a grill/picnic area along with a library. As stated on the sign upon entering the community – no pets are allowed.
