PALM HARBOR, FL 34684 288 SALEM AVENUE 3

# When "Move-In Ready" Actually Means Something **$50,000+ in upgrades. Zero compromises.** Some homes get flipped. This one got *loved*. And there's a difference you'll feel the second you walk in. New roof with a 15-year transferable warranty (2021). New HVAC with 10 years left on the warranty (2020). A kitchen that was completely reimagined, not just refreshed. Paint, lighting, fixtures, flooring—everything deliberate, nothing skipped. And here's the kicker: you're buying a massive 7,800 sq ft corner lot that you actually *own*. No land lease. No landlord. Just you and your deed. ## The Kitchen You Didn't Know You Were Looking For Remodeled in 2021 with Whirlpool appliances, elegant Corian counters, and a Delta touch faucet with an instant hot water dispenser. It's one of those tiny upgrades that changes your morning routine forever. Wide plank luxury vinyl flows through the main spaces. Fresh carpet in both bedrooms. It all feels current, crisp, intentional—not like someone threw builder-grade everything at it and called it done. ## Storage. Actual Storage. Master suite: three closets. Guest bedroom: two. You know how rare that is? The master bath got a full refresh—modern toilet, new vanity, the works. Every light fixture, ceiling fan, and faucet throughout the home was replaced. These aren't the kinds of upgrades that show up in listing photos, but they're the ones you notice every single day. ## That Front Porch Though 23 feet long. Fully enclosed. Usable year-round. It's going to become your favorite room and you won't even see it coming. Coffee at sunrise. A book in the afternoon. A glass of wine at dusk. It's the kind of space that makes Florida living make sense. ## The Backyard Setup Screened lanai with a separate enclosed laundry room—2021 Whirlpool washer and dryer included. The yard? Beautifully landscaped with an automatic irrigation system running on well water, so it stays green without you lifting a finger. Circular driveway repaved in October 2021. Custom gutters added May 2023. Even the windows are tinted for energy efficiency and privacy. Somebody really thought this through. ## HOA: $106/Month That's it. And for that you get pool access, trash service, and full use of the amenities: newly heated pool, lakeside bathhouse with sun deck, shuffleboard, bocce, horseshoes, and a clubhouse with a full kitchen, library, and card room. The community is golf cart-friendly. You've got direct lake access for boating and fishing. And yes, pets are welcome in this section. ## The Location Lake Tarpon Village is one of the premier 55+ communities in the area, and you're minutes from shopping, restaurants, medical care, and Gulf Coast beaches. Tampa and Clearwater airports are both easy drives. ## What This Really Is A 2-bed, 2-bath home where the expensive stuff is already done—and done *right*. You own the land. The roof is covered. The HVAC is covered. The kitchen is stunning. The lot is huge. This wasn't flipped by investors looking to cash out. This was maintained by a family who lived here, cared about it, and treated it like it mattered. **You don't find homes like this often. Schedule a showing today.**
