Like a picture postcard, this 3 bedroom/2 full bath/2 car garage home greets you with a gently curving pathway that showcases impeccable landscaping, a shady portico, and a stunning entry door flanked by beveled glass panels. A gorgeous bay window illuminates both formal living/dining rooms. The wide open and UPDATED kitchen is warmly welcoming with recessed lighting shining down on granite countertops, stainless appliances, and gleaming cabinetry. Besides the serving port to the dining room on one side, the casual dining bar on the other reveals the family room with its brick-faced wood burning fireplace, vaulted ceiling, and wonderful assortment of decorative built-in niches to display everything from trophies to treasured mementos. Connecting all that beautiful space with the alfresco entertainment center is a NEWER addition. Now being used as a cozy tavern complete with a bar, it boasts pocket doors between family room for privacy, French doors to the outdoor covered dining area, Murphy bed behind the moveable bar and upholstered window seats with views of the sparkling pool NEWLY resurfaced in 2018. All the bedrooms are spacious, with the third one providing ample room to house a classic home office or private study. Both bathrooms are UPDATED, dressed in contemporary tiles, features, and fixtures. Base cabinet lighting is another modern touch that graces all kitchen/bath cabinetry. In addition to a well-appointed laundry room with NEWER front-loading LG machines, a closet, and storage cupboards, other updates include NEW electrical and pool panels (2020), NEW A/C (2017), NEW hurricane windows, doors, and garage door (2006). Top this off with a fully fenced backyard resort bursting with more exquisite landscaping, a pavered deck and two storage sheds. Situated in the heart of Pinellas County (not in a flood zone!) this home is nestled in a charming neighborhood, minutes from fine dining, the dazzling Gulf of Mexico, the best retail shops, as well as premier golf and entertainment venues. Only a 30-minute drive to Tampa’s cultural centers or the unparalleled sands of Clearwater Beach, you’ll love where you live!
