Price Reduced! Live the Florida lifestyle in this stunning elevated custom built coastal home, completed in December 2021. Located just a short walk to downtown Tarpon Springs, Spring Bayou, and the famous Sponge Docks, this property offers the perfect blend of coastal charm, convenience, and waterfront living. Set on a large waterfront lot, you'll enjoy a private dock with a 13,000 lb covered boatlift—plus regular visits from dolphins, manatees, and osprey right in your backyard. The deep water canal has no bridges and is approximately 15 minutes to the Gulf by boat. The home's exterior features low-maintenance tabby stucco, Hardy siding, metal roof, powder-coated aluminum staircases, hurricane rated doors, windows and garage doors. Composite decking enhances both the open front balcony and screened rear porch, and overlooks a spacious paver patio ideal for a firepit or outdoor entertaining. Conveniently located directly outside the screened porch is the connection for a natural gas grill. Inside, the open floorplan boasts high ceilings, luxury vinyl plank flooring, crown molding, and custom window trim. The living room centers around a beautiful tiled electric fireplace and features a tray ceiling and triple sliding glass doors that open to the screened porch with views of the yard and canal. The gourmet kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, gas range, wine fridge, reverse osmosis system, wood cabinetry, stone countertops, a large island with sink, and walk-in pantry. A formal dining area features a tray ceiling and wainscoting. The 3-bedroom split plan includes a primary suite with canal views, tray ceiling, walk-in closet, and a spa-like ensuite with double vanity, walk-in shower, and private water closet. There is also a spacious indoor laundry room complete with front-loading washer, gas dryer, stainless steel laundry sink, and built-in cabinetry for added storage and convenience. The lower level is constructed with concrete and includes a large game room with indoor/outdoor flooring, a full bath, and oversized two garages—one 2-car+ and one single tandem—with abundant storage and workshop space. Included is a portable AC for the game room, and it is prewired for a mini-split system. The home is elevator-ready with shaft and electrical in place. Because the main living area is elevated, flood insurance is both reasonable and more affordable (current policy premium is $2248/yr) than many waterfront properties. Located near beaches, the Pinellas Trail, parks, and with easy access to Tampa and the airport—this home offers the best of Florida’s Gulf Coast living in the heart of historic Tarpon Springs.
