Overview
Description
Perfectly capturing the charm of a Key West-style bungalow while remaining on the mainland, this exquisitely renovated concrete block 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence blends refined design, modern comfort, and effortless coastal living. Tucked away in a peaceful setting yet just minutes from Clearwater’s premier attractions, the home welcomes you with an open-concept layout filled with natural light, elegant ceramic tile flooring throughout, hurricane-rated windows, designer quartzite kitchen countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a newer gas range. Natural gas service powers the tankless water heater and gas dryer, delivering both luxury and efficiency.
Thoughtfully curated upgrades include a newer roof, updated HVAC system, refreshed fencing, and a whole-home water softener, creating a home that is as functional as it is beautiful. Every detail has been selected to provide a move-in-ready living experience.
Outside, the expansive paver hardscape surrounds three sides of the property, creating exceptional curb appeal and a low-maintenance lifestyle ideal for year-round enjoyment or a lock-and-leave second home. Inside, the home serves as a private sanctuary where the outside world fades away, creating an atmosphere of tranquility, comfort, and relaxation.
Ideally located just minutes from vibrant downtown Clearwater and the exciting Imagine Clearwater waterfront redevelopment, you'll also enjoy quick access to Clearwater Beach, Pier 60, Sand Key Park, the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, the Pinellas Trail, and numerous local parks. Tampa International Airport and St. Pete–Clearwater International Airport are both easily accessible, placing the best of the Gulf Coast right at your fingertips.
Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, a coastal retreat, or the quintessential Florida lifestyle, this exceptional home delivers timeless style, quality craftsmanship, and an unmatched location.
