**YOUR PRIVATE OASIS** Tucked away in a convenient corner of the Tarpon Springs/Palm Harbor communities (No flood insurance required at this high and dry location!) this tastefully updated and lovingly maintained home is a must see! Curb appeal abounds with mature tropical landscaping and Tuscan inspiration welcoming you home. The fully fenced backyard is highlighted by wonderful natural views, old growth trees, and a hammock strung up between two hibiscus trees that just beckons you to take a time out from life. As you step inside the home you’ll be greeted by an abundance of natural light flowing through the oversized windows and floor-to-ceiling pocket sliders that lead to the screened lanai. Among the many attractive appointments this home boasts are 10 foot ceilings, attractive porcelain tiles that run throughout, crown molding, recessed lighting, and much more! The open concept floor plan begins with an oversized living area that flows into the dining area, all being overlooked by the well sized kitchen. The kitchen is truly the heart of the home and features attractive cabinetry, an abundance of storage and counter space, and is topped off by a large wrap-around bar. From the living area you can step outside into the screened lanai and find two lovely spaces that provide an abundance of indoor/outdoor living and entertaining space which includes a fully plumbed wet bar with sink, mini-fridge and large flat screen TV! Located just off the kitchen, the well sized owners retreat is truly fit for both king and queen and features sliders that provide private access to the backyard and a spa-like ensuite complete with a huge walk-in shower, and large walk-in closet. It occupies its own wing of the home providing both peace and privacy. A guest bedroom and bathroom occupy a wing on the other side of the home along with additional access out to the lanai. A large bonus room finishes off the picture and lends itself perfectly as a third bedroom, office, home schooling area, studio, or anything else your imagination can create! A hard to find oversized two car garage with elevated ceilings with overhead storage provides for practical living and offers you many options as to its use. The home is fully wired for both a security and sound system, has a whole home water softener system, a brand new water heater, and is already wired to the breaker box for a future pool addition. Super convenient location near both Highway 19 and Old Highway 19; just a few minutes’ drive to downtown Tarpon Springs & the Sponge Docks as well as downtown Dunedin, Honeymoon Island, Palm Harbor and Clearwater. Walk or bike to the Pinellas Trail! Super close to beaches, shopping, restaurants, breweries, festivals, and entertainment. Within minutes of a multitude of parks, marinas and boat/jet ski launches as well! Don’t wait to see this wonderful home and live where most people only get to vacation!
