Pool Home with Many Updates (and it's Hurricane-Ready)

Beautiful pool home with 3 bedrooms plus a bonus room, and 2 baths (one with tub, one with shower). Updated kitchen includes granite counter tops, two pantries, newer appliances and a breakfast bar with pendant lights. Master suite has a walk-in closet with organizers, and a great updated bathroom with large shower and a separate make-up area.

This home is "hurricane ready" for worry-free summer living:

• Non-evacuation zone, in one of the highest parts of the county (about 70 feet above sea level)

• Simonton Stormbreaker hurricane windows all around--no plywood or shutters needed!
• Metal roof (2005)
• Garage door bracing
• No big trees nearby

The back yard is great for entertaining, with a recently re-surfaced pool, great pavers, and a vinyl privacy fence. Two sheds provide ample storage space, and the yard is low-maintenance, with mature tropical landscaping and a deep-well sprinkler system. Both interior and exterior have been recently painted, and the A/C compressor, water heater, and appliances are all newer. The R-30 attic insulation, block construction, and new double-paned windows save on energy bills.

This home is located about 200 feet from the Pinellas Trail, a quarter mile from Taylor Lake Park and has easy access to Ulmerton Road It's in a nice neighborhood, on a quiet street that gets very little traffic. The home can be sold furnished. This is NOT a short sale, and we just had an independent appraisal done, which came in above the asking price.

NOTE: This house is also on the MLS at a higher price. The price shown here is only available if you buy direct to save us the agent's commission.
