Here is a rare opportunity to enjoy tranquil lakeside living in Pinellas County.  A well-maintained Florida split-style home awaits, for sure, but this is a see-to-believe retreat.  The lot is 562 feet deep. Pull into the driveway and away from the hustle-and-bustle, as you pass through evergreens, oaks, avocados, and various citrus trees to reach the house. Eagles can frequently be spotted in nearby trees.  By the mango, you will encounter an air-conditioned workshop and a Quonset hut which serves as the detached third car garage.  (The home itself has an attached two-car garage.) Gardeners and hobbyists can use their imagination on how to best make use of these features.    And there’s plenty more room for the imagination here!  Enter the home and your eyes will be immediately drawn to the expansive view of Lake Tarpon (over 2,500 acres in area.) Enjoy these vistas as well from your Master suite, lanai or raised deck, complete with a swim-spa.  Out in the distance, beyond your dock and covered boat lift, is your daily horizon, where nothing but trees line the opposite shore - no construction in sight.  Facing eastward you will be grateful to start each day with the colors of the sun rising over the lake.  Take a coffee walk down to the dock.  Sit in your lanai.  This is lakeside living at its finest.     As for the home itself, the Master bedroom with in-suite bathroom (jetted garden tub!) are on the south side, while the other two bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen with breakfast nook, enclosed lanai and deck are all to the north.  Between them - the great room and dining room feature built-in floor-to-ceiling shelves and cabinets you’ll appreciate. Bring your books and collectibles!  There’s even a corner fireplace ready to crackle on chillier nights.   Head to the Gulf of Mexico whenever it calls you…for sand and salty air, choose from: Fred Howard Park, Sunset Beach (both in Tarpon Springs), Dunedin’s Honeymoon Island and the renowned Clearwater Beach…all short drives away. A slice of the Greek Islands, the world-famous Sponge Docks with shops, cafes, restaurants, nightlife… are just 10 minutes to the West.  Closer still, a mile or so away…cyclists will love the 75-mile Pinellas Trail system and golfers will dream about the Innisbrook Golf Resort and its Copperhead Course - an annual PGA Tour stop.   Two major airports are also within about 20 miles. Maybe you weren’t aware this was even possible in Pinellas County.  At the moment, it is.  Give it some thought. Live every day like you’re on vacation!
