Property Description

Virtually Staged. Imagine celebrating the holidays in a home of your own, decorating your new space, and beginning the new year as a Tampa homeowner. Closing before December 31 may also position eligible buyers to establish ownership by January 1 for Florida homestead-exemption purposes and explore potential homeownership-related tax advantages. Buyers should consult the county property appraiser and a qualified tax professional regarding eligibility and deadlines. Welcome to 8471 Sandy Beach Street in gated Solana Bay. This Pulte-built townhome offers 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 1,625 square feet, an attached one-car garage, and peaceful pond views—all conveniently located near Tampa International Airport, the Veterans Expressway, I-275, shopping, dining, and everyday necessities. The seller is offering **up to $4,000 toward buyer concessions with acceptable terms**. Subject to lender approval, the contribution may be used toward a mortgage interest-rate buydown, allowable closing costs, interior painting, flooring, or other approved expenses—giving you greater flexibility to personalize the home or reduce upfront costs. Inside, the open Milan floor plan features high ceilings, solid wood cabinetry, new quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and spacious living and dining areas. Sliding doors lead to a covered, screened lanai overlooking the pond and natural surroundings—an inviting place for morning coffee, quiet evenings, or entertaining. Upstairs, the vaulted primary suite includes a walk-in closet and en-suite bath with dual sinks. Two additional bedrooms, a full guest bath, and a conveniently located laundry closet complete the second floor. The washer and dryer are included. Major improvements include a new roof in 2024, A/C installed in 2018, and a 2021 water heater. The property is located in Flood Zone X, where flood insurance is typically not required by lenders; buyers should verify their individual insurance requirements. Solana Bay amenities include gated entry, a community pool, dog park, sidewalks, BBQ grills, recreation field, and access to a private 17-acre lake for non-motorized recreation such as kayaking and canoeing. The $495 monthly HOA fee currently includes cable TV, community pool access, exterior and grounds maintenance, building insurance, and reserve funding. **Why wait for next year to begin the life you could be enjoying now?
