Welcome to a waterfront retreat nestled in one of Tarpon Springs’ most sought-after coastal settings. Overlooking the saltwater of Minetta Bayou, this two-story residence offers a unique blend of waterfront living, flexible space, and everyday comfort, with Gulf access right outside your door. Inside, the home has an open and airy feel, highlighted by soaring vaulted ceilings, luxury bamboo flooring, and an abundance of windows that bring natural light throughout the main living level. The living room, dining area, and kitchen come together in an easy-flowing layout that works equally well for quiet nights at home or entertaining family and friends. The bright kitchen offers generous counter space and a large pantry, providing plenty of room for both cooking and storage. Upstairs, the bedrooms are thoughtfully tucked away for privacy, including a spacious primary suite with vaulted ceilings, a large ensuite bath, and excellent closet space. The additional bedrooms offer comfortable accommodations for family, guests, or a dedicated home office. One of the home’s standout features is the versatility of the lower level. A large bonus living area with its own kitchenette creates an exceptional opportunity for a guest suite, multigenerational living, private retreat, recreation space, or workspace. The lower level also includes a laundry room, a large storage closet, and direct access to the oversized garage. Electric hurricane shutters provide added peace of mind during Florida’s storm season. The oversized two-car garage offers considerably more room than a typical two-car garage, with enough space to accommodate three vehicles depending on configuration, while still leaving room for storage, tools, projects, fishing gear, bikes, kayaks, and other equipment. Its additional depth and flexibility also make it ideal for those who want dedicated space for hobbies, projects, or waterfront gear. Outside is where this property truly comes to life. The elevated deck overlooks Minetta Bayou and creates an ideal setting for morning coffee, afternoon entertaining, or unwinding at the end of the day. Enjoy the changing scenery, watch for local wildlife, take in the sunsets, or head onto the water for kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and boating adventures. The existing outdoor spaces also provide an opportunity to further customize the waterfront experience to your own style. Recent major improvements add to the home’s appeal, including a 2024 roof and new AC unit. Hurricane protection, Gulf access, and substantial garage and storage space provide both lifestyle and practical advantages for coastal Florida living. Spend the morning on the water, grab lunch at the Sponge Docks, explore historic downtown, head to Fred Howard Park or Sunset Beach, ride the Pinellas Trail, or enjoy the area’s restaurants, marinas, shops, festivals, concerts, and community events. The location also provides convenient access to both Tampa International Airport and St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport. With its saltwater bayou frontage, Gulf access, soaring interiors, flexible lower level, oversized garage, and important recent updates, this waterfront home offers something increasingly difficult to find—the space and versatility to fit the way you actually want to live. Whether that means comfortably bringing generations under one roof, creating a private retreat, or entertaining family and friends, this home offers endless possibilities to suit your lifestyle.
