One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Welcome to 10197 44th St. N. A place where comfort meets opportunity in The Mainlands of Tamarac. In this established and beloved 55+ community, a two-car garage on a corner lot is genuinely uncommon — and this 1,705 square foot, 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers exactly that. The residence is comfortable and move-in ready. Its design reflects an earlier era, and it is priced accordingly — meaning the next owner arrives with options rather than obligations. Update at your leisure, or simply settle in and enjoy the considerable value this home already delivers. The floor plan is thoughtfully proportioned: a formal living room alongside an expansive family room creates natural space for different rhythms of daily life. One of the most compelling aspects of this home is the remarkable peace of mind that comes with it. The HOA shoulders an impressive list of responsibilities that, in most communities, would rest entirely on the homeowner: roof replacement and maintenance, exterior painting, lawn care, the sprinkler system, cable television, internet, water, sewer, trash, and pool maintenance. Read that list again slowly — because it represents thousands of dollars annually that simply disappear from your worry list. The HVAC was installed in 2020 , meaning the home's essential systems are genuinely sound. The second garage bay deserves its own mention. Whether it becomes a home for the golf cart, a proper workshop, or the kind of organized storage that makes daily life run smoothly, that extra space proves its worth time and again. Step beyond your front door and the community reveals itself. The heated pool, recreation hall, and shuffleboard courts are a pleasant walk from home — as is the clubhouse, where neighbors become friends over a full calendar of social events. The Mainlands Golf Course sits right at your doorstep. Mayor's Park at Freedom Lake offers a beautiful natural retreat just moments away. Pets are warmly welcome here. And when the wider world calls, Gulf Coast beaches, premier shopping, and Tampa International Airport are all within easy reach. This is the kind of community where the amenities are genuinely lived in — and the lifestyle is genuinely earned.
