768 MASTERPIECE DRIVE

KINGS POINT GEM! The home comes furnished. All of it stays, and there is an inventory attached, so there is no truck to rent, no houseful of furniture to ship south, and no first month here waiting on a sofa to be delivered. Fly down, pick up the keys, the bed is already made. It is 1,584 square feet, two bedrooms, two full baths, one floor, no stairs anywhere. Built in 1992. The front faces west, so late afternoon on the porch turns out to be the best part of the day. The condo fee is $850 a month, and before you flinch at that, look at what it replaces. Cable, internet, water, sewer, trash, insurance, the outside of the building, the lawn, pest control, the pools, security and the roads. No roof fund. No lawn service to hire. No gutters to clean, ever again. Most people coming from a house up north find the monthly number lands close to what they were already spending, and this one does not surprise them in February. Then there is Kings Point, which is the real reason people end up here. Gated, 55 and over, and built around people actually doing things. Two clubhouses, six heated pools, a theater, two fitness centers, tennis, pickleball, golf, and a club list long enough that the hard part is picking. When you are moving somewhere you do not know a soul yet, that matters more than square footage. There is somewhere to be every day, and that is how people here end up with friends by the end of the first month. The practical side is covered too. The community runs its own transportation and its own ambulance service, and the hospital is right outside the gate. Most people take a golf cart to the store, to the doctor, to dinner, and the car mostly sits. Tampa is up the road, the Gulf beaches are close, and the cruise port is an easy morning drive. Two hours notice for showings, mechanical lockbox. Room sizes and square footage are approximate, buyer to verify.
