One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Charming 1-bedroom, 1-bath villa perfectly located just off US-19 in Clearwater, offering unmatched convenience near Westfield Countryside Plaza, Mease hospitals, Whole Foods, Aldis, tons of grocery options, fabulous dining, and just a short drive to the award-winning Clearwater Beach! This rare end-unit sits privately tucked in the corner of the community with no rear neighbors, your own concrete garden bed, expansive yard space, and true single-family home vibes. Nearly 600 sq. ft. of bright, open living space feels larger thanks to ample natural light, newer energy-efficient windows, and a screened-in porch that adds about 150 sq. ft. of extra outdoor living space. The full-size washer and dryer are located here; leaving plenty of room to create your own cozy den, utility space, or just a quiet nook to relax and enjoy the peaceful view! Inside, you’ll find wall-to-wall closets in the primary bedroom, a pantry near the kitchen, and attic access with great extra storage. Updates include fresh paint throughout, energy-efficient windows (2014), new ceiling fans (2025), a brand-new front door (2025), and a new HVAC system (2022). The roof is maintained by the association and was recently replaced (late 2024) for added peace of mind. The community has really been spruced up with fresh exterior paint, new carports, new front doors, and freshly paved asphalt (2025) Hill Crest is looking better than ever. Amenities include a pool, clubhouse, and beautifully maintained grounds. The clubhouse features a kitchen, tables, pool table, and a >>>private sauna
