Property Description
NOT EVERY UNIT IN THE VILLAS OF SAN MARINO LIVES THE SAME. At 2,538 square feet, this end unit is the community’s largest floor plan, offering a noticeably more open feel with the light and breathing room that come with an end-of-row position and no neighboring building on one side. The main living area is anchored by hardwood floors and filled with natural light from east and south exposures. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless appliances, a cooking island, and a closet pantry. Fresh interior paint has been applied throughout the entire first floor, the high-volume stairwell, and the upstairs hallway. An open wood staircase leads to the second level, where the upper hallway features an open railing rather than the common closed drywall. Hardwood continues through the stairs and upper hall, while bedrooms are finished with newer LVP flooring. The primary bedroom is notably large, providing enough space for a private reading nook, a home office, or a dedicated workout area. It includes a private balcony with space for seating. While located along Alt 19, the interior is quiet. This is one of the original units built with a concrete block demising wall through to the second floor - a rare construction detail not found in later builds that provides exceptional sound separation. POSITIONING WITHIN the community is a distinct advantage here. As an end unit facing a wider street, the home avoids the "boxed-in" feel found in typical sections, with a front entry that doesn't look directly into a neighbor's door. The outdoor space features a spacious screened, tiled rear patio - a finished upgrade over the standard concrete - positioned to enjoy morning sun and comfortable afternoon shade. Residents enjoy a heated pool, and the Pinellas Trail sits just outside the gates, with walkable favorites like Thirsty Marlin and The Salty Lime nearby. The association is financially sound with strong reserves and proactive planning. The monthly fee covers exterior maintenance, roof, landscaping, cable, internet, and trash - with exterior painting completed in 2023. Located in Flood Zone X500 (no flooding history) and zoned for Palm Harbor University High, Palm Harbor Middle, and Ozona Elementary. This is a refreshed, substantial end-unit townhome in Villas of San Marino at Palm Harbor with a layout widely considered the best in the community, exceptional sound separation, and a feel that is hard to duplicate.
