One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. **Trade the Snow Shovel for Flip-Flops!** If your idea of winter involves sunshine instead of snowbanks, welcome to your Florida escape in **Tarpon Shores**, a resident-owned 55+ community in beautiful Tarpon Springs! This charming **2-bedroom, 2-bath home** offers an easygoing Florida lifestyle with an open floor plan that's perfect for relaxing after a day at the pool, exploring Tarpon Springs, or entertaining new friends. The updated kitchen gives the home a fresh feel, while cozy carpeting and a **newer A/C system** help keep things comfortable when the Florida sunshine turns up the heat. The primary bedroom even has its own private bath—because houseguests are wonderful, but so is having your own space! But here's where the Florida lifestyle really begins… Tarpon Shores isn't just a place to put your mailbox—it's an active **55+ resident-owned community** where there's plenty to do when you feel social and absolutely nothing wrong with sitting by the pool when you don't. Enjoy the **heated swimming pool, clubhouse, billiards, library, covered shuffleboard courts, pickleball, bocce ball, horseshoes and organized community activities**. And when you're ready to venture out? You're approximately **two miles from the famous Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks**, with Greek restaurants, shopping and entertainment nearby, plus easy access to Gulf beaches, parks, golf, boating, fishing and everything that makes Florida winters so difficult to leave. For seasonal residents, there's another big perk: community services include **lawn mowing and lawn treatment, water, sewer, trash pickup and basic cable**, helping make Florida living just a little easier. Whether you're looking for a seasonal getaway from northern winters or you're finally ready to make Florida your full-time address, this home offers something even better than another vacation: **Your own place in the Florida sunshine.** Bring the sunglasses. Leave the snow shovel behind.
