(Your First Mortgage)
Set back on a private lot along a peaceful cul-de-sac, this stunning villa is encircled in pavers accented by lush landscaping; the community is gated. The grand foyer reveals the spacious living room’s vaulted ceilings, architectural niches, crown molding, and gleaming porcelain tile floors. A formal dining room features a set of French doors providing entry to the spectacular screened lanai boasting ample square footage to relax, dine alfresco, and host your family’s special events and holidays. Multiple sets of sliders not only provide entry from several rooms but lend plenty of natural light. Curved archways and a rich color palate lend ambiance to the recently UPDATED kitchen. Sleekly designed, recessed lighting shines down on granite countertops and the ample storage, courtesy of the cabinetry and its pullout drawers. A lovely window dressed in plantation shutters graces the adjacent breakfast room. The master suite was also recently UPDATED. From the shower room and built-in vanity to the garden soaking tub, you’ll relish this retreat and love the two walk-in closets. The second bedroom and its bath are also well appointed. A large den is currently used as an office, but its decorative set of doors and large window lend a versatility to designate this choice space as a personal fitness/yoga center, library, or home theater. A NEW roof was installed in 2018. The HOA covers exterior maintenance including lawn, trees, bushes, exterior painting, basic cable, trash, and the sparkling community pool. Nestled in the prestigious Villages at Fox Hollow, this well-maintained residence is close to the area’s restaurants and retail, as well as the countless golf courses and parks, along with all the coastal beauty from Honeymoon State Park to Clearwater Beach to the cultural center that is Tampa. Trinity is the gem of Pasco County.

Investor Opportunity!

(Your First Mortgage)

Currently a two-story office building with industrial 2 car garage on 0.17 acre lot with option to purchase two contiguous lots (0.17 acres each in size) for a total of 0.54 acres, all zoned CRT-1. This is also a unique turnkey investor opportunity in sought-after St. Petersburg along a well-traveled corridor, complete with plans, renderings, and permitting to construct a total of 12 open-concept townhomes. The two contiguous lots are cleared and graded.  The existing building, which can be sold separately from the two lots, is perfectly suited for companies with trucks and/or heavy equipment, such as HVAC, plumbing, or general contracting firms in need of office space, fenced outdoor storage, indoor storage areas, and high-ceiling garage bays. Its upstairs bonus space can support a multitude of venue purposes. There are a total four (4) office spaces and two (2) bathrooms plus lobby/reception area.  The alley running behind both the building and the lots can accommodate a variety of uses for either the office or the residences.  A key advantage of this townhome project is the opportunity to retain the services of the contractor/developer/sellers for construction of the townhome project. Approved plans—which would require all three lots and the demolition of the existing building—are for three-story, three-bedroom, two-full-bath, and two-half-bath townhomes with optional private elevators that traverse all floors, from the stylish rooftop terraces to the gourmet kitchens and down to the two-car garages.  Situated along a picturesque bike trail, this ideal parcel is one block from the famed Sunset Park, the Treasure Island Causeway, and unparalleled beaches to the west, while just minutes from the iconic St. Pete Pier, restaurants, and retail to the east. Both vacant lots are also being advertised separately under MLS #’s TB8470017 and TB8470032.
