About this home
Let's be honest about what you're looking at here.
From the road? This house doesn't wow you. It's not the one you'll circle back to because it caught your eye. But walk inside this Lake Tarpon waterfront home, and you'll realize you just found something most buyers spend months searching for: a completely renovated property with over $300,000 in updates that's priced $50,000 below appraisal.
Here's what actually matters:
The previous owners spent over $300,000 doing everything right. New roof (2021). New HVAC (2021). Updated electrical panel (2021). Hurricane windows with a transferable warranty (2022). A brand new heated saltwater pool with screen enclosure (2022). The kitchen was fully remodeled with custom wood cabinets, quartz counters, and stainless appliances. The bathrooms? Completely redone. Fresh paint throughout the interior. New luxury vinyl flooring everywhere. Even the irrigation system is smart and runs on lake water.
This isn't cosmetic fluff. This is every single expensive thing you'd normally budget for in the first five years of ownership—already done, with decades of life left on everything.
The layout actually makes sense.
Two bedrooms, but they're real bedrooms. The primary suite is huge. The second bedroom works perfectly as an office, guest room, or whatever you need. And because they didn't chop up the space to squeeze in a third bedroom nobody uses, the common areas are generous and bright, with direct views of the water.
Now, about that water...
You're not on some canal. You're not dealing with bridges. You have direct access to 2,500+ acres of Lake Tarpon from your private dock. Just walk out back, get in your boat, and go. Fish. Paddle. Cruise. Whatever. The lake's managed water levels mean no flood insurance required, which saves you thousands every year.
And speaking of saving money: no HOA, no CDD fees, and basically no major maintenance costs looming because everything's already been replaced.
You're minutes from the Sponge Docks in Tarpon Springs, Fred Howard Park beaches, the Pinellas Trail, and everything else you need. The neighborhood is established and quiet, with none of the restrictions that come with HOAs.
So here's the deal:
If you need a house that makes your friends jealous when they pull up, this isn't it. But if you're the kind of buyer who cares more about what you see from your back deck than what neighbors see from the street? You just found a $300,000 gift sitting at $50,000 below appraisal.
The bones are perfect. The systems are new. The location is incredible. The inside is beautiful. You just have to be smart enough to look past the curb appeal.
Come take a look and do the math yourself.
