5734 RIDGESTONE DR

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION This modern 4-bedroom/2-bathroom home is located in a prime location and ready to move-in. It is one of the largest homes in the subdivision and loaded with upgrades. The lot is extraordinary as it is almost 1/2 acre in size and offers privacy in the backyard. The backyard has an open view of a pond. And, the rear property line is lined with tall, mature trees. The interior upgrades include hardwood flooring, crown molding, 5 1/4 inch baseboard, Spanish lace ceiling, Decora-style light switches, plantation shutters, recessed lights, ceiling fans and modern light fixtures installed throughout. The kitchen has granite countertops and porcelain floor tiles. The refrigerator, microwave, range, and dishwasher each convey. There is installed a tankless water heater, water softener, smart thermostat, wired alarm system, and a RING doorbell. The primary bedroom and the living room are both pre-wired for wall-mounted televisions. Both bathrooms were recently renovated. One contains a stand-up shower and the second has a shower-tub combo. The inclusion of plantation shutters together with a tankless water heater provides extra energy efficiency. The former-garage is now a flex space equipped with central air conditioning and heat and a private entrance. The walls and the attic are insulated, the flooring is a porcelain wood-like tile, and there is cabinetry with an island and granite countertops. The space may be used as a home gym, prep kitchen, playroom, private space for guests, or home office. The exterior is equally impressive. New stucco was recently applied. The yard is encased in a partial block and metal fence with a gate in front and wooden fences on the 2 sides. The roof was replaced in 2016 and has many years of useful life remaining. The lanai is spacious. It, too, has been updated with newer tiles and a block knee-wall. The backyard is airy and bright. Ducks, birds, birds, turtles, and rabbits are frequent visitors. The pond is included in the total lot size which brings the total to almost 1/2 acre of property. The backyard also features a cinder-block outbuilding which is a blank slate. It could be utilized for additional storage, a studio, or office space. The location is phenomenal as a neighborhood park is less than one mile away which features a dog park, playground, picnic benches, tennis courts, basketball court, and designated cornhole area. This is a non-deed restricted subdivision. There are no HOA and CDD fees assessed, and no flood insurance is required. Utility lines run underground and the property is on the same power grid as public service stations which dramatically reduces the risk of loss of power during storms. A police station and fire station are both one mile away so is the Upper Tampa Bay Trail, Citrus Park Town Center, shops, and restaurants. The Veteran’s Expressway is less than 2 minutes away. Downtown Tampa, St. Petersburg, Westshore, Safety Harbor, Lutz, Land o’ Lakes, Riverview, and New Port Richey are each under 30 minutes away under normal traffic conditions. And, local beaches are about 35 minutes away. This is a wonderful opportunity to own a well-maintained home in immaculate condition in a sought-after subdivision in a prime location.
