Welcome to maintenance-free living in this stunning 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom townhome located in the heart of Tampa's Palm River area. Extensively renovated in 2020/2021 with over $50,000 in high-end upgrades - including a newer HVAC installed in 2021 - this residence seamlessly combines style, function, and comfort. Step inside through the security door and screen door to a custom tile entryway. Climb the matching tile stairs and through the front door to discover lustrous oak hardwood floors extending throughout the entire second floor, interior stairs, and both bedrooms. The second-floor open-concept floor plan creates an effortless flow, featuring a combined living, dining, and kitchen area alongside a convenient half-bathroom. The renovated kitchen serves as a true centerpiece, appointed with elegant Bellagio Dolomite countertops, a stylish subway tile backsplash, a breakfast bar, and new recessed lighting that matches the living room and master bedroom. Natural light pours through sliding glass doors in the living room, which lead to the balcony equipped with a sunshade. Head up to the third floor to find both bedrooms, each boasting a full ensuite bathroom, alongside a central laundry room. The master bedroom features a striking tray ceiling with a modern ceiling fan and sliding glass doors that open to a private balcony overlooking a serene pond with a slight glimpse of the growing downtown Tampa skyline. Additional custom touches include decorative pavers and lush landscaping framing the driveway. Down on the ground level, a covered rear porch provides the ultimate space for grilling, complemented by a rare 2-car tandem garage outfitted with a 240-volt outlet for electric car charging, custom storage shelving, and an exceptional amount of storage space for a townhome. Nestled within the desirable Palm River Townhomes community, residents enjoy a secure entry gate, a sparkling, well-maintained pool, and a community kayak dock situated directly on the Tampa Bypass Canal. The canal provides access to McKay Bay and Tampa Bay, while the dock serves as a peaceful vantage point offering stunning sunset views facing the downtown skyline. This pet-friendly and meticulously managed neighborhood maintains a reasonable HOA fee of $350 per month, which covers grounds maintenance, exterior maintenance, cable TV, internet, water, sewer, and trash. Positioned for ultimate convenience, the community is located less than 5 minutes from Historic Ybor City, placing you right next to the massive Gasworx project as it rapidly reshapes and connects the historic district to the urban core.
