About this home

Under contract-accepting backup offers. Imagine pulling into your driveway, surrounded by mature palms, knowing you’re home...a place that reflects years of pride in ownership. For the past 15 years, this Clearwater home has been more than just a house—it’s been a space where life has unfolded, memories have been made, and every detail has been thoughtfully maintained. With a NEW ROOF & AC in 2024, an UPGRADED ELECTRIC PANEL in 2026 and located in an X FLOOD ZONE, you can move in with confidence and peace of mind. Inside, you’ll find warm wood floors, comfortable gathering spaces, and a layout that feels both open and inviting. The kitchen features GRANITE COUNTERTOPS, ample solid wood SOFT CLOSE cabinetry, and a great BREAKFAST NOOK area, making it both functional and welcoming for everyday living. This home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms with a flexible layout. The third bedroom includes windows and a door for privacy; however, it does not have a permanent built-in closet and is currently configured with a removable closet in the adjoining office space. This room may also function well as a home office, guest room, or flex space depending on your needs. Step outside and you’ll find even more to love. The screened-in lanai creates a perfect transition to the outdoors, leading to a separate spa house—your own private retreat for relaxing evenings or weekend unwinding. The SPACIOUS BACKYARD offers space to entertain, garden, or simply enjoy Florida living year-round. Additional features include a 2-car garage and a dedicated laundry room conveniently located just off the kitchen and next to the second bathroom, adding everyday functionality to the home’s thoughtful layout. Just minutes away, you’ll find shopping, dining, and everything you need—and when the beach is calling, Clearwater Beach and the Gulf are only a short drive away, ready for sunset walks and sun-filled days. This isn’t just a place to live—it’s a place to begin your next chapter. Come see what life could look like here.

Local Insight

At $237/sqft, this 1970 home is priced below the Clearwater median, which typically signals either solid value or deferred maintenance—the 360° tour will be critical to determining which. The X flood zone and lack of HOA are genuine pluses for Clearwater, but you'll want to budget for foundation issues and systems upgrades common to homes of this age, especially if you plan to hold long-term. The tight 0.16-acre lot limits expansion potential, so condition and layout efficiency matter more here than in similar-priced properties with more land.
