5332 RIVERWALK PRESERVE DRIVE NEW PORT RICHEY FL 34653 MLS #TB8388337

This stunning townhome in the newer community of Riverwalk Preserve is a MUST SEE to really grasp the elegance, warmth, quality and high-end style with which it was built. Of the 54 units in this small, dog-friendly community bordering the Cotee River and county-owned forest preserve, this home is in one of only three duplex buildings and has by and far the best end-unit views inside and out. The upgrades chosen when it was built in 2019 outnumber every other unit in the community in quality and style, including the Vermont Dandy marble countertops in the kitchen, bathrooms and primary bathroom shower seat; crown molding in nearly every room; high, dramatic tri-colored tray ceilings; crystal light fixtures; gold-tone faucets and hardware in bathrooms and kitchen; beautifully hand-designed wainscoting in open living areas; and built-in units with TVs and an electric fireplace in the living room and upstairs loft. The kitchen is equipped with high-end matte black stainless GE Cafe Series appliances, marble backsplash, solid wood soft-close cabinets, a convenient coffee bar, and roomy pantry closet. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath well-built townhome has PGT hurricane-rated, windows and doors; a post-tension foundation for maximum stability; impact steel garage door; rain gutters all around, and walls with added fire and sound protection. NO FLOOD INSURANCE is required. NO CDD added to your tax bill. The HOA includes all outdoor maintenance, pool and hot spa tub, water/sewer, roof replacements, and regular pest maintenance, and internet and cable TV. The primary bedroom is conveniently located on the first floor and has an ensuite bathroom with double sinks and a frameless glass shower with bench seat and multiple heads for an invigorating experience. The two large bedrooms upstairs are on separate ends of the home for privacy. A bathroom with a large, glass shower with porcelain tile is between the two bedrooms. Also, upstairs is a big loft with a wall of built-in cabinetry which can be an entertainment room or kids’ play space. There is an office nook upstairs as well, convenient for professionals that work from home. The elevation above the river lends itself to sweeping views of lawn, river and woodlands, and this property includes fruit trees such as avocado, guava and mango. There was no flooding during the hurricanes in this unit or any in the community. The over-sized patio provides room for plenty of potted plants, outdoor furniture and a barbeque grill. From this vantage point, you will see the lovely, clear water of the tidal Cotee River and often spot manatees, turtles and water birds. The river is known for nature watching and kayaking/canoeing and meanders through parks and downtown New Port Richey, ultimately joining the Gulf of Mexico. An ADT security system, including four cameras front and back, are included with the home sale. In addition, a new, larger HVAC system was installed in 2020. The peacefulness of this lot and the elegance of the home itself provide a perfect, relaxing end of the day for year-round residents or a couple looking for a seasonal home. While you enjoy tranquility and peace at home, downtown New Port Richey with its new restaurants, shops and nightlife is only a couple of miles away by car or golf cart. Don’t miss out on the beauty and convenience of this maintenance-free community and this stunning upgraded townhome. Make it your Next Home!
