5222 Russell St. is a charming Colony Oaks Townhome located in prestigious South Tampa.

A welcoming gated courtyard entrance leads to the 2nd-floor entry. Wood floors are throughout the kitchen, living/dining and half bath in the foyer. The kitchen has a new dishwasher, newer 5 burners double oven and plenty of storage and pantry space. The focus of the living area is a mantled wood-burning fireplace centered between a large picture window and sliding glass door leading out to a lovely wood porch deck with serene pond views. Added features include vaulted ceilings and a wet bar. The third-floor owner’s suite includes an attached deck and has an ensuite with double sink dressing area and a walk-in closet. The laundry room with newer washer and dryer separates two more bedrooms (one with deck) and a remodeled hall bathroom. The one-car garage (with a new door opener) holds plenty of storage space. Major repairs such as the water heater, air conditioner, and roof have all been replaced within the past few years.

A secure gated fence surrounds the beautiful ponds and the community pool on the east end of the property that includes tables, pool house, and a picnic area.  The quiet community is close to Ballast Point Park and Pier, and Bayshore Blvd’s famous 4+ mile sidewalk for walking, jogging, bicycling all while enjoying the beautiful bay views.
