Rare opportunity in the heart of the Tarpon Springs Historic District — and one of the only pockets in the city where short-term rentals are fully permitted. Welcome to 116 Read St, a beautifully maintained home that pairs authentic Florida character with turnkey, income-ready flexibility. Set on a tree-lined street just minutes from the world-famous Sponge Docks, vibrant downtown Tarpon Springs, and the Gulf Coast's most scenic parks and beaches, this home offers something most listings can't: a coveted historic-district address with no HOA and genuine STR earning potential. Whether you're an investor seeking a high-demand vacation rental, a buyer looking to offset living costs, or someone who simply wants a charming primary residence in a one-of-a-kind neighborhood, this property delivers. Step inside to a bright, open layout anchored by gorgeous polished terrazzo flooring throughout. Sun-filled living spaces, a well-appointed kitchen with ample cabinetry, and comfortable, privacy-minded bedrooms make the home as livable as it is welcoming — perfect for hosting guests or savoring a quiet morning coffee. Major-ticket items are already handled: roof and water heater are both 2023, and the electrical panel was updated in 2020, so you can buy with confidence. Outside, a spacious yard offers room for pets, gatherings, or your own private Florida oasis — a standout amenity for short-term guests and homeowners alike. You're moments from waterfront dining, top-rated schools, the Pinellas Trail, and the legendary Tarpon Springs markets and festivals that draw visitors year-round.
