1966 Plantation BoulevardClearwater, FL 33760Price: $292,500

This turnkey 3/2.5 townhome is move-in ready and boasts quiet privacy, with conservation views from the surrounding greenbelt and Long Branch Creek. The screened lanai runs close to 15 by 15 and opens from both the living room and the primary bedroom, and what you see through it is oak canopy, not a neighbor's slider. The expensive work is already done, starting with a roof that is only two years old. Inside, the remodeled kitchen has granite counters, stainless appliances, solid wood cabinets and a closet pantry, and it passes through to a dining room that accommodates a real table, with ceramic tile underneath for easy cleanup. The living room rises two full stories to a stacked stone fireplace with a reclaimed wood mantel. Plantation shutters throughout keep the afternoon light soft. The primary suite sits on the first floor, nearly 14 by 16 with volume ceilings, its own sliders to the lanai, a walk-in closet, and a bath with a double granite vanity and a separate walk-in tiled shower. Upstairs, two more bedrooms and a full bath with a tub share a loft that overlooks the great room below, right-sized for a desk or a reading chair. A half bath off the entry handles guests, and the entry porch is screened. The garage is clean and functional, featuring an epoxy floor, a full wall of cabinets, pegboard storage, and laundry tucked in where it stays out of the living space. For an owner that means storage that doesn't eat the closets. For an investor it's the kind of practical detail that keeps a tenant renewing. Middlecreek is pet friendly, and the community pool sits directly across from the home, close enough to be part of the routine rather than a destination. Across Whitney Road, Datsko Park has a shaded half-mile trail, a playground, sand volleyball, and outdoor exercise equipment. Position does the rest. The Bayside Bridge is minutes east, putting Westshore, downtown Tampa and TPA within a workable commute, while the Carillon and Gateway employment corridor sits just south. US-19 and Ulmerton handle daily errands, and St. Pete-Clearwater Airport is a short drive, which is what keeps rental demand steady in this pocket of Pinellas County.
