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 for a 1970 home in Clearwater, you're getting a fair price point, but that age means you should budget for potential foundation, roof, or plumbing surprises—get a thorough inspection before committing. The 0.16-acre lot is quite tight and limits any future expansion plans, though being in flood zone X is a genuine plus for insurance costs. This property's real value hinges on the condition details that the 360° tour reveals, so focus your walkthrough on the HVAC system, electrical panel, and any signs of deferred maintenance that often plague homes from this era.
