    Well-maintained residenceAbundant natural lightComfortable florida livingSoaring cathedral ceilingsCharming villaPeaceful residential settingOpen and private backyard
    Welcome to this charming villa located in the highly desirable Bay Towne Villas community in the heart of Safety Harbor. This well-maintained residence offers comfortable Florida living with an open and inviting floor plan, abundant natural light, and soaring cathedral ceilings. Additional interior features include the removal of popcorn ceilings and a new washer and dryer, enhancing both style and convenience. Spacious living and dining areas create an ideal setting for everyday living or entertaining. The functional kitchen offers ample cabinetry and workspace, making meal preparation easy and efficient. Recent updates include a roof (2019), while the home’s A/C system was installed in 2022. One of the standout features of this property is the open and private backyard—an uncommon find in many villa communities—providing the perfect space to relax, garden, or entertain outdoors. Best of all, this property offers fee-simple ownership, meaning you own the land and the home is not a condominium, providing greater flexibility and independence. Bay Towne Villas offers a peaceful residential setting with community amenities that include a heated pool and clubhouse. Cable, Internet, lawn, exterior paint are included in the $175 monthly HOA fee! The community is located less than one mile from downtown Safety Harbor, a charming waterfront town nestled along Old Tampa Bay. Residents enjoy close proximity to distinctive shops, award-winning restaurants, cultural venues, and the renowned Safety Harbor Resort and Spa. The area is known for its vibrant community events, including the popular Third Friday Festival, seasonal art and music festivals, and a lively weekly Farmers Market. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate being just a few blocks from Philippe Park, featuring scenic waterfront views, walking and biking trails, a boat ramp, fishing areas, and picnic spaces. Nearby Safety Harbor City Park spans 21 acres and offers playgrounds, volleyball courts, baseball fields, a skate park, and paddleboarding opportunities. Ideally located between Clearwater, Tampa, and St. Petersburg, this home is approximately 16 miles from Tampa International Airport and just 12 miles from the world-famous shores of Clearwater Beach. This villa presents a rare opportunity to enjoy low-maintenance living in one of Pinellas County’s most charming and vibrant communities.
