1397 BURNT OAK ST

About this home

This beautifully updated and maintained 3/2/2 home is being sold by the family of the original owners, who built the home in 1978 as one of the first residents in the coveted Oakleaf Village subdivision in historic Tarpon Springs. This home has always been smoke- and pet-free. The home on this rolling hillside location was built to take advantage of its tree-shaded site, meaning lingering morning shade from its mature trees followed by beautiful evening sunsets. Public records note the home's 1,540 sq.ft., but a large area of the home holds a huge bonus room -- approx. 13'X21' -- facing east that would easily hold an artwork studio, crafts space, complete fitness gym or any other special use. Adjoining this room is a completely enclosed/lockable workroom, 13'X7.5',eliminating the need for any temporary-type tool/storage sheds. If desired, both rooms can be quickly outfitted with a mini-split HVAC system. The roof over the entire home was replaced in 2016. In addition, the original wooden retaining wall behind the home was completely removed and replaced in October 2026 with a concrete block system specifically designed for retaining work. Each block in the system wall weighs 80 lbs. The home has been custom fitted with hurricane shutters, which are stored in the garage. One of the guest bedrooms was completed with an extra-wide entry, no door and no closet, creating a small media room. The room, just off the living-room area, might also be an attractive living space for someone with mobility issues. The kitchen and bathrooms have been updated, as photos show. Oakleaf Village is the largest subdivision in Tarpon Springs and boasts its own city-owned and -maintained park, complete with open space, a playground and picnic tables. The famous Pinellas Trail biking and hiking pathway is adjacent to the neighbohood and leads directly to large county parks as well as downtown Tarpon Springs and the nearby Sponge Docks.
