505 SPRING LAKE CIRCLE,Tarpon Springs,Pinellas,Residential

Virtually Staged. Live the Tarpon Springs lifestyle in one of the most upgraded townhomes in gated Townhomes at North Lake. This 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home with garage offers 1,759 sq ft in Flood Zone X, (no flood insurance required) and the Pinellas Trail passes just outside the gate, so you can walk or bike to downtown and the Sponge Docks.

Where many neighbors have carpet, laminate counters and a sliding glass doors, this home has tile downstairs, luxury vinyl plank upstairs (no carpet), granite counters, and French doors with transoms opening to the screened-in lanai. Ceilings top 9 feet, with crown molding on both levels. The kitchen shines with white cabinetry, black onyx granite, 3 dimensional marble subway tile backsplash, stainless appliances, a pub-height bar, separate dry bar with built in desk area or room for a wine refrigerator, and two pantries: one built into the cabinetry and a walk-in one under the stairs.

Upstairs, the split plan gives the owner's suite its own side: a grand French door opening, a 19 x 13 primary bedroom with cathedral ceiling, bay window and walk-in closet, plus a remodeled bath with granite, undermount sinks and a marble tile shower with rain head, niche and barn-style glass doors. Two more bedrooms, a hall bath and laundry with washer and dryer complete the floor.

Outside, enjoy the tiled lanai with storage room and a raised 19 x 8 patio with string lights and a tree-lined view. The HOA fee includes internet and cable, the HOA maintains the grounds and repainted the exterior just a month ago, and the lakeside pool was redone this year with a paver deck and cabana.

The Sponge Docks are minutes away, with Greek restaurants and bakeries, sunset cruises, fishing charters and marinas where you can rent a boat and run out to Anclote Key. Catch a Gulf sunset at Fred Howard Park, spend a beach day at Honeymoon Island, spot manatees at Spring Bayou, fish Lake Tarpon or golf at Innisbrook. Downtown offers antique shops, breweries and festivals, with US 19 shopping and two airports within easy reach.
