2009 Ketch CIRCLE

I dare you to find a better location than this home and community! If you found this home just because of how cute it is, I ask you to take a step back and look at its overall location. Crystal Bay is located directly on Sutherland Bayou, and the community's boat ramp is located directly across from this home. Not only do you get the waterfront component to this community, but just five steps outside of the park you are on the Pinellas Trail, a 45-mile long multi-use paved trail spanning from Tarpon Springs in the North, to St Petersburg in the South, perfect for walking, bicycling, and rollerblading. You can take this trail directly to historic downtown Palm Harbor, full of shops and restaurants. Nearby you also have beautiful Crystal Beach, with a pier jetting out into Saint Joseph Sound. Now that you're oriented to some of the fabulous reasons to live here, let's chat about the house itself. Although not directly on the water, because the home is elevated and across from the community's swimming pool, you get a great view of Sutherland Bayou from the home. And having the pool directly across the street almost makes it your own private pool, as you can easily assess whether anyone else is using it (so you can enjoy it when you would be the only one). This home is newer than many others in the park, built in 1990, which means less issues with insurance. Also, over the years the owner has been substantial updates to the home (a full list of updates can be found in the MLS attachments), but they include: new flooring and subfloors; new roof; new plumbing; new mini split system; updated cabinetry and stone countertops; and new sliding glass doors. This home has two set of sliders, one taking you into the main home, and the other into the climate-controlled Florida room. The patio out front is perfect for watching sunrises and sunsets, and was built using weather-resistant Trex decking. As you enter the main home, you'll notice all the upgrades- lighting fixtures, granite countertops, new flooring, new furniture. The main living space is open and inviting, with the kitchen, dining area, and living room flowing together. The bathroom was updated with a new vanity, and tub with shower. The main bedroom is in the rear of the home and features a built-in closet. There is access to the Florida room through the master bedroom, or the exterior deck. There is also a storage shed outside for extra storage. Crystal Bay is a 55+ community, and also a no-pet park. Amenities include a clubhouse, community pool, boat ramp, and community dock/fishing pier. This home is being sold fully furnished and turnkey. Schedule your showing today!
