About this home

Virtually Staged. MID-CENTURY charm, angled roof line with high ceilings and lush FLORIDA NATIVE landscaping, just minutes from Indian Rocks Beach. No history of flooding, no evaculation zone on approximately a 33ft high elevation. This two-bedroom, one-bath main home with a bonus enclosed Florida room blends preserved vintage details with a new kitchen and thoughtful modern upgrades. An ADDITIONAL STUDIO with a private entrance, full bathroom, hot tub and private yard is currently rented through Airbnb, offering flexibility for visiting family, guests or continued SHORT-TERM RENTAL use. A modern DeGeorge concrete driveway and low-maintenance native landscaping welcome you to this spacious corner lot, with generous courtyards and distinct outdoor spaces for entertaining and relaxing. Approximately 1,350 square feet of gardens feature 80% native plantings, including beautyberry, firebush, coontie and muhly grass, plus fruit-producing plants and trees such as red mulberry, elderberry, passionvine and seagrape. The garden is a Certified Wildlife Habitat through the National Wildlife Federation and a registered Monarch Waystation through Monarch Watch. There is also room to explore adding a pool or parking a boat or RV. Modern upgrades include PGT impact windows and doors, an impact-rated garage door, a Velux impact-rated skylight, plumbing and electrical improvements, electric tankless water heater in 2018 and shingle roof in 2021. Custom roller shades and solar panels enhance energy efficiency, with summer electric bills averaging just $52 per month. Professionally restored terrazzo floors, original bathroom tile in excellent condition, interior wood doors and custom woodworking preserve the home’s character. The new kitchen features custom wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, a granite sink with a chrome faucet and a Big Chill refrigerator that complements the home’s mid-century style. A cypress tongue-and-groove ceiling and skylight add warmth and natural light. The spacious, remodeled Florida room has its own mini-split system, and storage is plentiful throughout. Walk to coffee shops, restaurants, grocery stores and local shops, or bike to the beach. Belleair Causeway’s boat ramp, dog beach and kayak launch are less than a mile away, offering access to nearby barrier islands. Indian Rocks Beach is under four miles.
