5297 81ST LANE N 24 Welcome to Paradise Shores, one of the best-located 55+ condo communities around! Only 15 minutes to John’s Pass, and just around the block from all of the shopping and dining in the Tyrone area of St Petersburg. There’s even a Publix right across the street from the community! This second floor, 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo is being sold furnished and is ready for its new owners! Step in through the front door into the main living space of the home. The living spaces encompass the entire eastern wing of the property, with the sleeping areas on the west wing. The living room and dining room combo are bright and spacious, especially when you cast open the blinds! Right past the dining room is the galley-style kitchen, perfectly situated between the front living room, and the rear family room! You’ll find plenty of cabinet space here, plus a gas range! The kitchen also features a ceiling fan to provide additional air flow and ventilation. Imagine turning on the fan while baking cookies, with the sweet smell emanating throughout the entire condo! Or waking up your guests with the smell of bacon on a relaxed Sunday morning! The rear family room allows access to the master bedroom, as well as the kitchen. The shade from the oak trees and shutters prevents too much sunlight from blinding you while relaxing in the evening, watching TV. This room also features a large pantry-style closet, perfect for storing cleaning supplies! Entering the master suite, you will notice how large and spacious it is! There are closets taking up an entire wall— certainly no shortage of storage in this condo! The master suite features an ensuite bathroom, with glass-enclosed shower. Heading towards the front of the condo, you’ll pass the second full bathroom, with a tub/shower combo. The guest bedroom is also a delightful size, and this room even has a small desk, perfect for someone looking to work from home! Paradise Shores is an amenity-rich community, featuring shuffleboard courts, heated swimming pool, bocce court, and library. The reasonable monthly fee includes water, sewer, gas (for stove, heat, and hot water heater), trash, and exterior maintenance. Sorry, but pets are not allowed in this community.
