As you arrive, you’ll appreciate the ease of your designated, covered parking spot and the peace of mind that comes with a new roof recently installed on the entire building. Step inside to an open floor plan that seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining area, and family room, making the living space the true heart of the home. The kitchen features gas cooking, and large windows allow natural light to fill the space, giving it a warm and welcoming feel. This unit is move-in ready and functional as-is, or it can be reimagined and customized into your own amazing new space.

Residents enjoy access to a well-maintained swimming pool, shuffleboard courts, tiki huts, on-site laundry facilities, and a community room that hosts regular social events and activities, fostering a friendly and welcoming environment. The location is equally impressive. Just across the street, you’ll find a Publix and shopping center for everyday convenience. Target and Walgreens are both within 1.5 miles, with a Walmart Supercenter just a quick 7-minute drive away. Even better, the gorgeous Gulf shores of Madeira Beach are less than 10 minutes from your door. Whether you're ready to embrace the snowbird lifestyle, simplify your living, or invest in a cozy beachside getaway, this unit in highly desirable Paradise Shores offers the perfect combination of charm, convenience, and community.
