Lake Tarpon Waterfront Home with Boathouse! Welcome to this beautifully updated three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath home on the shores of Lake Tarpon. From the moment you arrive, the paver-lined exterior, lovely landscaping, and inviting entry foyer set the tone for a property that balances comfort, flexibility, and waterfront living. The main living and kitchen area are located on the second level, offering an open-concept design with engineered hardwood floors throughout. Natural light fills the space, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for entertaining or relaxing. On this level are also the Primary & 2nd bedroom and two newly remodeled bathrooms are as well. On the entry level, the spacious foyer leads to an area with the potential for a mother-in-law suite or private studio, or 3rd bedroom, complete with its own 1/2 bath & separate entrance—perfect for extended family or guests. Outdoors, the property is equally impressive. Recent newer upgrades include a boathouse, seawall, roof, remodeled bathrooms, and a water softener and a reverse osmosis system~with most of the big-ticket items already completed (too many to mention). A/C & Hot water tank were replaced in 2017. The boat in the boathouse is also available, along with Boat trailer—please see agent for details. Enjoy true Florida living with a screened-in lanai accessible by sliders from both the primary bedroom and the living room, offering a seamless flow to the outdoors. Beyond the lanai, the backyard patio overlooking Lake Tarpon creates a wonderful gathering space for family and friends, perfect for lakeside get-togethers, sunset dinners, or quiet mornings with coffee. With direct lake access, you can enjoy fishing, boating, and water-sports, or cruise across the water to the popular Tarpon Turtle Restaurant. Surrounded by pavers and beautifully landscaped grounds, this home is designed for both easy maintenance and outdoor enjoyment. Don’t miss the opportunity to own this turnkey Lake Tarpon retreat where upgrades, location, and lifestyle come together. This location is also near famous beaches, airports & entertainment galore. Lake Tarpon is a Regulated Lake no flooding occurred during storms.
