The dream of living near the water in South Tampa becomes a reality in this 1,990-square-foot Westshore Yacht Club townhome. Embrace the Florida lifestyle nestled in a 24-hour guarded-gated community as you watch the sun setting over Tampa Bay only blocks away from your balcony. This two-story residence with a two-car garage has been tastefully and generously updated. Enter on the ground level where you will find two bedrooms (or convert one into the perfect home office) and a beautifully renovated full bath with a seamless glass shower and marble flooring. As you take the stairs to the second floor, note the new sisal floor covering, the perfect blend of form and function. At the top of the staircase, you are met with an open floor plan that creates a large and spacious living area with ten-foot ceilings. On one end, the living room opens onto the west-facing balcony; at the other end, the upgraded kitchen outfitted with KitchenAid stainless steel appliances, a Samsung French door refrigerator and accented with gorgeous natural white quartzite countertops framed by deep navy-blue cabinets. In the middle - a dining area large enough to comfortably entertain guests. With elbows resting on the kitchen island your eyes feast on design elements that epitomize coastal living. Off the kitchen is an custom-designed half-bath with marble flooring and pedestal sink as well as a large laundry room. When the warm afterglow of the sun is a fond memory, it is time to retire to the primary suite where you will find a completely renovated primary bath and a walk-in closet with built-ins. High end designer seagrass flooring will welcome you into all three bedrooms and hardwood floors in all common areas. You are just a short distance to the exclusive, members-only Bay Club to start your day with a workout in the state-of-the-art fitness facility, or if you prefer, take your cup of coffee to the dock and gaze out on the bay. The massive building houses a restaurant, an indoor and an outdoor bar, and two resort-style heated swimming pools steps from the 149-slip marina. Spend the day socializing in the sun and ordering food and drinks from the tiki bar all while knowing that your private retreat is a stone's throw away. As you wind down, take an evening stroll along the immaculately kept brick-paved, tree-lined, streets. If the walk is with a fury friend, enjoy one of the dog parks housed within this golf-cart-friendly community. This is your rare chance to purchase a lifestyle reserved for the very few.
