This stately two story Victorian-style home nestled on a sprawling 1.5-acre lot includes your own personal park-style backyard with vast open land giving your family an outdoor canvass to add recreational courts, a guest house, or endless options to create your own retreat. This architectural gem boasts timeless elegance and modern comfort that is rare to find in Pinellas County. This home provides over 4,000square feet of living space, featuring 4 bedrooms, 2 large bonus rooms, a home office, and 4.5 bathrooms, perfect for those who appreciate both space and style. The formal entry welcomes you with a breathtaking double oak staircase and a statement golden chandelier. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s paradise that is both functional and beautiful, including maple cabinets, granite counters, a built-in refrigerator and a double oven. For those who love to entertain, this home is a dream come true. A dedicated party/bonus room with marble flooring surrounded by walls of windows lighting up the room, leads seamlessly to the screened-in, poolside deck and expansive pool. No need to worry about pool party guests tracking water inside at this home; the pool area comes with an enclosed, accessible bathroom with a full shower. It's your own private oasis, perfect for lazy summer days or lively gatherings under the stars. The primary upstairs master bedroom is a luxurious retreat with a grand ensuite bathroom with separate full sink areas and two walk-in closets. A second master bedroom style room with an attached full private bath, and two more additional bedrooms connected by a jack-and-jill bath provide ample space for family or guests. An additional large room at the top of the stairs, with double doors, attached outside balcony overlooking the pool, and built-in shelving served as a home office but could also easily transform into a cozy library, game room, studio or fifth upstairs bedroom — the possibilities are endless. Downstairs, a second bonus room previously served as a music/play room, but like the upstairs office, could be converted to an office, sitting room, or virtually any space desired. This home comes with an internal vacuum system, commercial size water heater, and a three-car garage providing plenty of space for vehicles and storage. Off the second master bedroom, the end of the closet opens into a spacious attic for additional storage needs. Located in the heart of Clearwater, this home offers the best of both worlds – a private retreat amongst million dollar homes in a secluded neighborhood, yet centrally located conveniently to the beaches, shopping, restaurants and Tampa International Airport. This property is high and dry in a NON-EVACUATION / NON-FLOOD ZONE! This isn't just any cookie-cutter house; it's an outstanding home and property with charm and character, awaiting a special owner seeking something unique, grand, and one-of-a-kind to call home. Welcome to your very own slice of paradise in the Sunshine State!
