Here is the first opportunity to own a beautifully conditioned villa in the quiet, secluded neighborhood of Caya Costa. A rare, gated community in Northeast St Petersburg nestled in a tropical preserve with fantastic fishing, birdwatching and great places for long evening walks. With nearly 1500 square feet, 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, this single story villa is an end unit with a wonderful screened porch overlooking a large yard with vinyl privacy fencing. The lawn is maintained by the community and the irrigation/sprinkler water is included in the HOA fee. The exterior and roof are maintained by the HOA; roof replaced in 2018 and it was recently painted. Completely replumbed in 2020 and engineered hardwood flooring installed in the bedrooms, this home has been continuously maintained by the owners. All interior and closet doors have been replaced by the current owner. Lots of light and an open floor plan for entertaining or just opening up the updated French doors and allowing the cool breezes to bring in the fresh air. Friendly neighbors and great holiday events for all ages. Caya Costa is a diverse community with villas, townhomes, and custom homes. Many of these have water views and/or water access. The community has private boat storage and boat ramp available for residents. There is a pool, pavilion and grilling area for events, as well as, 2 tennis courts. You will love this community and its location is unbeatable. 12 minutes from Downtown St Pete, 20 mins to Tampa International, downtown Tampa and Hyde Park. Quick access to the Bucs, Rays, or Lightning; the home of Champa Bay!!
