Cozy condo located in one of North Tampa's most sought-after areas - Carrollwood, where urban life has a suburban vibe. Relaxing pond views, yet not flood zone! The HOA fee includes WATER, SEWER, TRASH, CABLE, EXTERIOR MAINTENANCE (including roof), LANDSCAPING, resort-style community POOL with SPA/HOT TUB, and TENNIS COURTS. From the moment you open the unit's PRIVATE GATE, you're greeted by a private courtyard, an oasis for relaxation or entertainment. Sliding glass doors connect this serene space to the living and kitchen areas, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Past the front door, the living room invites via a wood-burning FIREPLACE. The kitchen is large, includes an eat-in space, and even has a window that offers a lovely view of the pond. Adjacent to it, a convenient first-floor half bath is ideal for guests and includes a laundry area. A SKYLIGHT above the stairwell fills the center of the home with natural light, enhancing the warm feel. Upstairs, all 3 bedrooms are spacious and two of them have PRIVATE BALCONIES with views of the sparkling pond! The Owner's Suite has dual sinks and a walk-in closet. There's a NEW WATER HEATER and the A/C is only 2 years old. One clear bonus is plenty of storage space, including a storage closet adjacent to the courtyard. The Quail Run community is pet friendly, and conveniently located amidst a myriad of restaurants, entertainment, varied shopping choices, and top-rated schools. Other coordinates include: proximity to Carollwood Country Club and Northdale Golf and Tennis Club, 20 min from Downtown Tampa or the Tampa International Airport, 10 min from the International Plaza, 15 min from Citrus Park Town Center, and 45 min to wonderful beaches such as the world-renowned Clearwater Beach. This is more than just a home; it could be an everyday escape, all the while surrounded by convenience and community!
