(Your First Mortgage)
Nestled on the second hole of the famed Westchase Golf Course, this uniquely beautiful 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath townhome is not only Spanish Mediterranean-inspired, it features an abundance of architectural interest including curved archways and tray ceilings. The elite community of Saville Rowe Townhomes is both gated and amenity rich.

Also beyond the gate, you’ll find the distinctive luxuries of the renowned golf course with its own clubhouse, putting green, pro shop, and restaurant. Westchase itself is rich in retail and varieties of cuisine. This particular location affords privacy but access to everything. As for the interior, it presents like a spread in a magazine…no detail overlooked. The main floor’s open concept is brilliantly designed. You can appreciate all the space but still distinguish the definition of each room. Natural light pours in from the living room’s picture window and the sliders in the kitchen leading to the lanai. REMODELED in 2015 with ALL NEW STAINLESS-STEEL APPLIANCES, the kitchen is absolutely stunning with elegantly effortless fixtures and finishes. The cabinetry is topped with crown moldings while the countertops are dressed in granite. Beyond the casual dining bar is a wonderfully versatile area that can serve as a library, a dining area, or a cozy workspace. The second-floor master suite is a splendid sanctuary with lush carpeting, a shower room, a garden soaking tub, and a vanity connecting the dual sinks. The other two bedrooms are also gorgeously appointed. In 2014, one of the two was treated to built-in office cabinets with a desk and countertop, perfect for a home office or a study for a student. As for the outdoors, the lanai is spectacular. From the arched openings that frame the vistas of the golf course and verdant tree line to the striking tile floor, this multi-season veranda is multi-purpose. Evening cocktails, morning coffee, alfresco dining, or as a focal point for parties, it will be your go-to for life’s celebrations.

Saville Row boasts a LOW HOA and CDD. The board oversaw the installation of a NEW ROOF in 2023 with no assessment passed along to the homeowners and plan a LANDSCAPING UPGRADE and EXTERIOR PAINTING in 2024; neither project incurring a special assessment. This might just be the place for you. Isn’t now the time to love the life you’re living?

Spring Hill 3/2/3 + Den! Gated Community

(Your First Mortgage)
Welcome to this lovely Spring Hill home that is both cozy and spacious. Besides the curb appeal, a classic barrel portico entryway welcomes you to 1900+ square feet where you’ll find 3 large bedrooms, 2 baths, and a 3-car garage; a portion of which can serve as that workshop you’ve always wanted! With updates that include NEW ROOF BEING INSTALLED APRIL 2024, NEWER carpeting in the bedrooms, NEWER interior and exterior paint, NEWER vinyl flooring, and a NEWER A/C unit installed in 2019, you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy your morning coffee from the screened lanai while overlooking your landscaped grounds.

The open and bright family room is wired for surround sound and gives access to the lanai area through sliding doors.  There’s even a great den that makes for an ideal home office, a personal gym, a music room, or a 4th bedroom. Both baths are spotless with the master boasting a wonderful soaking tub and a walk-in shower. Unlike many homes where the washer and dryer are in the garage, you’ll love the laundry room that offers access into the garage. Besides the LOW quarterly HOA fees (that include basic cable) and no CDD fee, this Spring Hill neighborhood is well located. Reach Mary Giella Preparatory school via the community’s walking path or check out the middle and high schools that are also highly rated. Quail Ridge is a charming, gated community nestled along a conservation area and accompanied by an assortment of biking and walking paths. Residents are free to board their golf carts to explore the ponds to fish, the playground to spend sunny afternoons, and the woodlands to catch glimpses of local wildlife. Jump on any number of nearby thoroughfares (I-75, I-4, Suncoast Parkway, I-275) to explore Florida, or take a 35-minute ride to Tampa International Airport. From your location, you are still a short drive to Home Depot, as well as a wealth of restaurants, medical facilities, country clubs and parks, and the one-of-a-kind Gulf of Mexico. There’s nothing NOT to love about this home and its encompassing amenities.

Besides water views and lush greenery courtesy of the neighboring conservation, this lovely 3-bedroom, 2 full bath home is RICH WITH RENOVATIONS…and plenty of space to enjoy family and friends. Besides the sunlit living and formal dining rooms, the stunning EAT-IN KITCHEN was UPDATED several years ago. Granite countertops and gleaming wood cabinetry are offset by stainless steel appliances and a stunningly tiled backsplash illuminated by under cabinet lighting. A casual dining bar is great for those quick bites on the go; it also makes for the perfect place to accommodate those holiday party platters! Natural light floods the adjacent family room (currently set up as a dining area). The versatility of this space as well as its placement just beyond the kitchen poses a multitude of design configurations, especially with one of three sets of sliders providing entrée to the incredible screened lanai. Accented with gorgeous pavers, this relaxation zone is multi-purpose. With half of the structure covered, you can enjoy it in all kinds of weather, while the other half is set up as a wonderful terrarium with a screened ceiling that disperses sunlight and raindrops to all your potted plants set in the rock garden. The rest of the outdoor space is just as idyllic. Another pavered section beyond the door is the perfect spot for your BBQ grill. A bench beneath a shade tree beckons as a quiet meditation corner. And the views? They speak for themselves. You’ll also love the privacy of the split bedroom floor plan. Both BATHROOMS were UPDATED several years ago. The master suite boasts lovely flooring, sliders out to the lanai, a smartly styled bath with a large walk-in shower and the “must-have” walk-in closet. Both of the other bedrooms are carpeted with the one currently being used as an office, offering sliders to the lanai from which to take those “working from home” breaks! With a NEW ROOF (2022), NEW ELECTRICAL PANEL (2022), and a NEW GARAGE DOOR (2023), the big-ticket items are all done. The community of Fairway Springs features a crystal blue pool and a generous clubhouse. This home’s ambiance is so relaxing, you’ll feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere accompanied only by peaceful vistas and the songs of the birds. What a perfect place to call your own.
