LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! The curb appeal of this much-loved family home is exceptional. High ceilings and lots of natural light welcome you as you walk in, highlighting an enormous living area with massive picture-perfect window views. The chef's kitchen is large and modern, featuring custom cabinets and stainless steel appliances. The house is a delightful blend of old, contemporary, and artistic styles with a touch of mid-century modern. It has two master bedrooms with bathrooms, and the two guest bedrooms share another bathroom. The last bathroom is in the garage, currently used for storage. The massive 16,000-gallon gunite pool with a fiberglass finish is 11.5 feet deep at the deep end. It is saltwater-ready and just requires a new salt cell. A safety fence is available for young children. The pool area is spectacular, perfect for parties and relaxing, surrounded by a custom designed contemporary wood fence with a spectacular 150 ft jasmine wall, reminiscent of Tuscany. Beyond the paved pool/dining areas, there’s a massive grass space for kids, dogs, or further expansion. This home’s features are too many to list – you must see it to believe it. Sold as is for the seller’s convenience, buyers should do all due diligence. The master suite has sliding doors with direct pool access, adding to the luxury. There is a crawl space under the original part of the home, and the newer part is built on a slab. Rain gutters surround most of the house, and the low-set roof surface is a tar membrane. The original rafters are true 4x2 hard old wood, durable and extremely rare in new construction. The smart two-car garage has ventilated brick walls and a ring system for driveway and smart garage door entry. Its floors are also laminated. The sprinkler system is 4-zoned. The oversized family room fireplace connects to an outdoor wood-burning grill. The city has upgraded all street plumbing, and the home is in an X flood zone. The original part of the house is plumbed for gas, while the newer part runs on electric. The floors are original tongue-and-groove hardwood in excellent condition, with carpet in the master bedroom and tile in the family room. The large, modern kitchen leads to the garage, and the laundry room, though incomplete, would make a great mudroom/laundry storage combo. All of this comes together to make a home that is beautiful and fantastic for a larger family and for entertaining family and friends. A truly rare gem in Pinellas County--must see!
