Description

Virtually Staged. Virtually Staged Experience the best of Florida waterfront living in this charming elevated home with direct canal access to Lake Tarpon, the largest freshwater lake in Pinellas County. Located on a peaceful canal, this property offers the perfect combination of privacy, recreation, and convenience. Featuring 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and 864 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, the home is filled with natural light and beautiful water views. Whether you are enjoying your morning coffee on the deck or returning from a day on the water, this home delivers the waterfront lifestyle so many buyers are searching for. The canal provides quick boat access to Lake Tarpon, where you will enjoy approximately 2,500 acres of boating, fishing, skiing, tubing, wakeboarding, kayaking, and paddleboarding. Unlike many lakes that restrict boats to electric motors, Lake Tarpon has no horsepower restrictions, making it a true destination for boating enthusiasts. Just a short boat ride across the lake is the popular Tarpon Turtle, one of the area's favorite waterfront restaurants, where you can dock your boat and enjoy lunch or dinner on the water. A unique feature of this property is access to a private neighborhood boat ramp, conveniently located just across the street and shared by only a small number of neighboring property owners. Launch your boat with ease and be on Lake Tarpon in just minutes. Constructed with elevated living space and topped with a durable metal roof, the home offers peace of mind and low-maintenance ownership. The property is located on Lake Tarpon's flood-controlled system, which is regulated by the dam at the south end of the lake. According to the owner, the home has never experienced flood damage. The seller also reports that flood insurance has been very affordable. Buyers are encouraged to verify flood insurance requirements and premiums with their insurance provider. The seller also has an Elevation Certificate indicating the slab elevation exceeds the minimum required elevation. This may provide future flexibility for the lower level, subject to current building codes, permitting requirements, and local regulations. Buyers should independently verify any intended improvements with the appropriate authorities. Situated on a spacious lot with plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors, you'll appreciate the peaceful setting while remaining just minutes from historic downtown Tarpon Springs, the world-famous Sponge Docks, local restaurants, shopping, golf courses, beaches, and parks. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, seasonal getaway, vacation home, or investment opportunity, this property offers an affordable chance to own a slice of Old Florida waterfront paradise with direct access to one of Tampa Bay's premier recreational lakes. Schedule your private showing today and discover why Lake Tarpon waterfront living is one of the most desirable lifestyles in the Tampa Bay area.
