1553 RIVER DEE LANE,Dunedin,Pinellas,Residential

Located in Aberdeen Oaks, an intimate gated community of just 20 homes, this upgraded 2019 David Weekley Boulevard offers the rare combination of newer single-story living, an exceptionally functional floor plan and a premium cul-de-sac setting. Situated on one of the community’s original premium homesites, the home features 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a 3-car garage and a tile roof. Ten-foot ceilings, 8-foot interior doors and generous windows give the interior an airy sense of scale and natural light.

The expansive great room brings the kitchen, dining and living spaces together in a layout that works equally well for everyday living and entertaining. A massive quartz-topped island anchors the kitchen, complemented by abundant cabinetry, gas cooking, an upgraded LG Signature refrigerator and a separate dry bar with beverage refrigerator. Tray ceilings in the dining area, crown and chair molding, plantation shutters, custom built-ins, a fireplace and thoughtfully added lighting bring warmth and architectural character throughout.

What truly sets the home apart is a floor plan that adapts beautifully over time. Beyond the great room, a separate wing offers two bedrooms, a full bath and its own retreat/living area, creating exceptional flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, a media or game room, hobby space or simply a second place to relax. A separate fourth bedroom with its own full bath provides another private space for guests or extended stays, while a dedicated study offers a quiet work-from-home option.

The primary suite is equally well considered, with a tray ceiling accented by beams and a separate sitting area that can serve as an office, reading lounge or fitness space. The bath offers a soaking tub and separate glass-enclosed shower, while the professionally designed custom walk-in closet provides exceptional storage and organization. Since purchasing the home, the owners have invested more than $70,000 in post-construction enhancements, adding both style and everyday function throughout.

A whole-house natural-gas generator, EV charger, water softener, additional fencing and other carefully selected improvements complement the extensive interior upgrades already in place. A dramatic 12-foot, three-panel sliding door opens the great room to the covered lanai, creating an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living. The fully fenced backyard offers generous lawn space and room for a future pool, with substantial separation from the residence beyond the rear fence creating a wonderfully private feel.

The lanai is already pre-plumbed for an outdoor kitchen with gas available, while reclaimed-water irrigation adds convenience. Hurricane shutters, attic storage, a gas connection for the dryer and a Flood Zone X location add even more practical appeal. Then there is the lifestyle: take the golf cart into Downtown Dunedin for dinner, meet friends for a drink, browse the shops, enjoy the waterfront, then return home to the quiet of your gated cul-de-sac.

It is a rare combination of space, flexibility and the amenities of a newer home, all without giving up the distinctive Dunedin lifestyle that makes this location so appealing. Come experience a home that gives you the space to live beautifully and the location to enjoy Dunedin at its best.
