     You’ll know from the moment you step inside that this townhome is something special. Soaring ceilings give a sense of space and lightness, and you’re immediately drawn to the fireplace with its dramatic stone surround. Next you’ll notice the crown molding, chair rails and wainscoting that perfectly enhance details like arched doorways. Soothing paint choices and neutral carpeting make you feel as though you’re in a designer showhome. A corner unit, this two-story home has lots of windows and a unique sense of privacy.
      Love to cook? The kitchen is fantastic, with rich cherry cabinetry, granite counter tops, granite flooring and newer appliances. The ceiling was raised and new lighting installed to brighten and lighten the space. A dining room is adjacent for easy access from the kitchen.
Downstairs you’ll also find a large bedroom and a full bath. A closet between them neatly conceals your full-size washer & dryer. The bedroom is spacious and comfortable, with a walk-in closet. The bath has been completely remodeled, and echoes the cherry cabinetry and granite counters that you saw in the kitchen.
      The oak staircase leads up to a vast loft with maple flooring and excellent track lighting. How will you use it? Perhaps an entertainment area, perhaps an office, or perhaps extra convertible bedroom space.
      The upstairs bedroom, which you may choose for your Master suite, is again spacious and bright, with another walk-in closet fully organized for maximum storage. The bath upstairs is similar to downstairs, but this one was remodeled to include a luxurious frameless glassed-in shower.
A private patio space just outside your front door allows you to enjoy the outdoors. Stroll over to the pool and tennis court, or enjoy a walk or jog. This amazing condo offers you convenience and amenities without sacrificing the feel & design of a home. Even though the interior is exquisite, there’s much more to appreciate about this home. The corner location means privacy, and overlooking the elementary school grounds is a vast improvement over a parking lot or building view.
      The location is incredibly convenient, as well. Hop onto I-275 in a flash using the community’s back gate. You’re just minutes away from shopping, restaurants and recreational activities including parks and golf courses, and an easy drive to downtown St. Petersburg, the Gulf Beaches and Tampa International Airport.
      You’ll appreciate the best of the Florida lifestyle here at Calais Village, a friendly environment that offers great amenities at an attractive price, in an excellent location.
