About The Property

Rare-Gated-St.Petersburg Community. Not all Heritage Oaks townhomes live the same. This premium 2022 Energy Star Certified corner unit offers one of the community’s most desirable layouts, pairing extra windows and abundant natural light with a noticeably wider living area and more spacious kitchen. The result is a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home that feels larger and more open than its square footage suggests, complete with a versatile loft, screened lanai, attached garage, and a non-flood-zone location. The open kitchen stands apart with seating for guests at the gorgeous quartz countertops complimented by the subway tile backsplash along with a pantry, soft-close hardware, and a fantastic custom upgrade: an additional bank of cabinets with its own countertop. This valuable extra storage is ideal as a coffee bar, buffet or serving station. All appliances, including the washer and dryer, are included. Continuous luxury vinyl plank flooring runs up the steps throughout both levels with no carpet anywhere, complemented by custom decorative wall paneling, updated light fixtures, ceiling fans in every bedroom, updated door hardware, and high-quality window shades. Upstairs, the loft creates flexible space for an office, media room, reading area, or playroom. Additionally the owners made an intelligent and highly practical improvement by upgrading and rerouting the HVAC airflow to properly cool the area they use as an office (Bedroom 3) – a meaningful comfort advantage over comparable layouts where those particular rooms run warm. Smart lights, smart switches, and smart thermostats provide convenient modern control. The primary suite features a walk-in closet and en-suite bath with dual vanities and a glass-enclosed shower. The screened lanai backs to a vinyl privacy fence instead of directly facing neighboring lanais, creating a more private outdoor retreat. The home is also conveniently located near the community pool and clubhouse. The attached garage adds high-quality upgraded flooring and an overhead storage rack, and the included water softener adds everyday convenience.Heritage Oaks offers gated entry, maintained grounds, a clubhouse, and community pool, with convenient access to Downtown St. Petersburg, Central Avenue, the St. Pete Pier, Gulf beaches, shopping, dining, Tampa International Airport, and I-275. With its premium corner position, larger-feeling layout, added privacy, extensive upgrades, and move-in-ready condition, this home stands clearly above the competition.
