About this home
Live the Florida lifestyle in this meticulously maintained Key West–style elevated home, nestled in the highly desirable, golf cart–friendly Crystal Beach community. Built in 1988 and thoughtfully updated, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath retreat blends timeless charm with modern comfort.
Perched above street level, the home invites Gulf breezes and views while providing peace of mind. The lower level boasts a spacious two-car garage with ample storage for kayaks, golf carts, tools, and more. A versatile 400 sq. ft. enclosed game room—complete with custom doors, built-in bar, ceramic tile floors, half bath, and private patio—offers the perfect setting for entertaining or guest accommodations.
Upstairs, the coastal vibe continues. A wide front deck sets the stage for relaxed evenings and colorful sunsets. Inside, hardwood flooring (2018) flows through a light-filled open floor plan, ideal for gatherings. The updated kitchen features newer cabinets and appliances, designed for both function and style. Three bedrooms line the east side of the home, including a flexible space currently used as an office/yoga studio. Both bathrooms are tastefully updated, with the guest bath offering a tub/shower combo. The primary suite includes its own private deck overlooking the backyard—an intimate retreat for morning coffee or quiet reading.
Out back, lush landscaping frames a spacious yard complete with a fire pit area, perfect for starlit nights. An outdoor shower with hot and cold water makes rinsing off after a beach day effortless, while the irrigation system (2020) keeps everything thriving.
This home reflects exceptional care and attention to detail with recent updates including: newer roof (2018), HVAC (2018), windows and doors (2018), Hardie siding and exterior paint (2022), and a Mitsubishi mini-split (2022) on the lower level.
Crystal Beach is a rare gem on the Gulf—welcoming neighbors, nightly sunset gatherings at the waterfront, and an optional HOA for just $35 per year. Golf carts, RVs, and boats are welcome here, and the location is unmatched: steps from the Pinellas Trail, minutes to waterfront parks and Historic Downtown Palm Harbor, and a short ride on the Jolly Trolley to Tarpon Springs or Dunedin.
Whether as a full-time residence or a coastal escape, this home embodies the charm, comfort, and ease of Florida living. Ask about the transferable low-premium flood insurance policy.
