The lower level features a spacious two-car garage with plenty of room for kayaks, a golf cart, a tool bench, and extra storage. A 400 sq. ft. enclosed game room/additional guest suite is perfect for entertaining, complete with custom doors, a built-in bar, ceramic tile flooring, a half bath, and a private patio with sliding glass doors leading to the backyard. Upstairs, the large, welcoming front deck is an ideal spot for relaxing with a drink in hand to catch the sunset or great conversation. In the main living area, the open and airy space features wide hardwood flooring (installed in 2018) and sunlit rooms throughout. Newer updated kitchen cabinets and appliances in the kitchen offer ample storage and are spot on for a friendly soiree. Three spacious bedrooms flank the east side of the home, currently one is used as the office / yoga room by the homeowner. The updated bathrooms boast ceramic tile and the guest bathroom includes a bath / shower combo. The primary suite offers its own private deck in the back, creating a peaceful retreat to enjoy a good book overlooking the backyard. Step outside in the back and enjoy the lush, mature landscaping that enhances the spacious backyard, complete with a fire pit area, perfect for cozy evenings under the stars. The side yard offers an outdoor shower including both hot and cold water, a great way to rinse off or clean up after a day at the beach. Completing the outdoor space is an automatic irrigation system installed in 2020. The amount of care and detail the current homeowner has put into this home is extremely evident and must be seen in person. Additional recent upgrades include newer doors and windows (2018), along with fresh exterior paint and Hardie Brand siding (2022), updated HVAC (2018), a 2022 Mitsubishi mini-split air conditioner / dehumidifier on the lower level for added comfort. A newer roof (2018) provides long-term durability and insurance discounts. Located just moments from the Gulf, this home offers the best of Crystal Beach living—tranquility, natural beauty, and proximity to waterfront parks and beaches, and the famous Pinellas Trail. Sought after schools, grocery stores, and Historic Downtown Palm Harbor are just minutes away. Jump on the Jolly Trolly and head towards Tarpon Springs or Dunedin for more adventures. The Crystal Beach Community is incredibly unique with caring neighbors and monthly optional activities and an optional HOA for $35 a year. A large group gathers nightly at the local beachfront to enjoy the sunset and neighborly dialogue. The area also allows homeowners to store boats and RVs on their property. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or a coastal retreat, this home is the perfect blend of charm, comfort, and practicality.
