About 5498 Riverwalk Preserve Drive
Under contract-accepting backup offers. If it’s become a challenge to find PEACE AND TRANQUILITY in an AFFORDABLE HOME, you haven’t discovered Riverwalk Preserve on the Cotee River. This beautifully manicured 54-unit townhome community is surrounded by the meandering Cotee River, woodland preserve, a natural wetland pond, and acres of farmland. This reasonably priced 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome is like new, with high ceilings, updated appliances, HIGH-END FINISHES like granite counters and luxury vinyl floors (no carpeting!) and features an overall contemporary design with relaxing colors that are hard to find without having to go through costly and time-consuming renovations. Its first level is an open floor plan with a "cook's dream" kitchen with solid wood, soft-close cabinetry, new wi-fi stove with features such as an air fryer and convection oven; dishwasher; and French door refrigerator with wifi and in-door ice and water. The dining area, with a large in-wall storage area, flows into the living room where you can lounge and watch nature in the greenery and flowering plants right outside the door. All slider doors and windows are PGT HURRICANE-RATED, IMPACT RESISTENT, as well as the hurricane-rated garage door, producing lower homeowners insurance costs, and there is NO CDD added to your annual tax bill like the nearby new-built homes are burdened with. There was no damage or flooding during the hurricanes of the past few years, and flood insurance is not required by lenders. The slider door leads to a spacious, screened lanai and then out to a large outdoor patio area great for barbecues and sunbathing in the PRIVACY OF LUSH PLANTS and hedges. Divider fences on each side add to your privacy. A half bath downstairs is another great feature of this beautiful 2-level townhome. Upstairs there's a roomy loft that could be an office, kids' play area or a den. The two large bedrooms are on opposite ends of the home and each has a full bathroom with tile floors and granite-topped cabinets with plenty of drawers for storage. A laundry closet is handily located near the bedrooms in the hallway and contains shelving for storage and clothes hanging. New cellular blinds were installed recently on all windows and the downstairs slider. Upgraded, new ceiling fans are another recent addition as well as a new screen door on the front of the house, bringing in added light and a cross breeze for the milder months of the year. The LOW HOA includes all outdoor maintenance, a beautiful pool and hot spa tub with bathrooms and an outdoor kitchen to entertain friends, public water/sewer, roof replacements, termite bond and regular pest maintenance, and Spectrum internet and cable TV. Riverwalk is also a PET-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY that allows large dogs. The bordering Cotee River and county-owned nature preserve is a short walk away where you can fish, kayak, and see manatees, turtles and birds of all kinds along a wooded walking trail. 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!
