7001 INTERBAY BOULEVARD 162 Welcome to Unit 162 located in the gated community of Schooner Cove, where luxury, privacy, and location come together in one exceptional South Tampa residence. Positioned on what is arguably the most desirable homesite in the entire community, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath condominium with a spacious 2-car garage offers a rare opportunity that has not been available since it was originally purchased new in 2012. Unlike virtually any other residence in Schooner Cove, this home enjoys an expansive backyard setting with remarkable privacy, creating a peaceful retreat rarely found in community living. Adding even greater appeal, the home features freshly painted interior walls, a recently replaced roof (2025), and a newer HVAC system installed just two years ago, providing peace of mind and exceptional value for years to come. Inside, you'll find a thoughtfully designed open-concept floor plan perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The stylishly appointed kitchen features rich mocha cabinetry, gleaming granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a generous walk-in pantry. Flowing seamlessly into the dining and living areas, the space is enhanced by elegant tile flooring throughout the main level and brand-new carpeting upstairs. The spacious owner's suite serves as a private sanctuary, complete with a large walk-in closet, dual vanities, and a spa-inspired bath featuring a soaking tub and shower combination. Two additional generously sized bedrooms provide comfort and flexibility for family, guests, or a home office, with easy access to a full bathroom. Step outside to your private patio and enjoy the serenity of your oversized backyard oasis. Whether savoring a quiet morning coffee or unwinding after a long day, you'll appreciate the peaceful surroundings, lush green space, and natural ambiance that make this location truly one of a kind. Residents of Schooner Cove enjoy an impressive collection of resort-style amenities, including a temperature-controlled swimming pool, fitness center, and a stunning 4, 000-square-foot clubhouse available for private events. The gated community's scenic walking loop creates a welcoming neighborhood atmosphere while offering plenty of opportunities to stay active and connected. Adding even greater value, the HOA covers water, sewer, trash, recycling, and complete exterior grounds maintenance, allowing for a truly low-maintenance lifestyle. Ideally located less than one mile from MacDill Air Force Base and just minutes from Downtown Tampa, premier dining, shopping, entertainment, and waterfront attractions, this residence offers the perfect balance of convenience, comfort, and exclusivity. Opportunities to own one of Schooner Cove's most private and coveted homes are exceptionally rare. With major improvements already completed and a premium homesite that simply cannot be replicated, Unit 162 offers a unique combination of privacy, comfort, and long-term value.
