Discover true coastal living in this custom-designed, architecturally unique stilt home on the water. Nestled on a serene, secluded street--the very last in Tarpon Springs--this residence promises new friendships with ospreys, eagles, and owls. Surrounded by the Gulf's waters, it stands resilient to storms, elevated high above the ground. The property spans nearly an acre, featuring a detached two-car garage with ample parking space. Ready for occupancy, this four-bedroom, three-bathroom home boasts new appliances, smart TVs, and a WiFi-controlled thermostat. Fresh paint adorns its walls, and the expansive front porch, side porch, and rear decking offer outdoor enjoyment. A durable metal roof with solar panels, only three years old and under a 30-year warranty, tops the house. Energy costs are kept low, averaging $50 for power and $100 for water monthly. Both air conditioning units are newer, less than four years old. Inside, real wood floors meet tile in the kitchen and bathrooms, while new carpet graces the spare bedrooms. The large lower level is finished, perfect for a 4th bedroom, recreation room or office. Shiplap siding and a wood or gas fireplace with original stained glass enhance the living room's charm. Outside, the oversized pool, recently painted and fitted with a new variable speed pump, promises quiet efficiency. The fenced backyard is ready for pets, and the grandfathered dock, complete with a floating wave runner platform and a boat ramp, invites water adventures. This non-HOA community exudes a welcoming, liberating atmosphere. Tarpon Springs bursts with vibrancy, offering stunning beaches, parks, festivals, arts, concerts, delightful shops, restaurants, and the Pinellas Trail, extending over 50 miles of scenic paths--and so much more.
