Property Description

Two hurricanes in two weeks, no problem. No power outage either! Built to stand the test of time! This sturdy home is located in a "high and dry" non-evacuation, no storm surge area. Purchase here and have peace of mind. Do you love the vintage charm of an older home, but not the million-dollar-plus prices? Just a half mile away from the multi-million dollar price tags of Harbor Oaks is this sturdy 1925 Craftsman-style house in Magnolia Heights, built during Florida’s first real estate boom (just like Harbor Oaks). And, just like three for-sale homes in Harbor Oaks, this one has a GUEST HOUSE. Enter through the sunroom, the perfect place for a relaxing evening, and a great space for pets. Continue through the living room, with its unique ceiling fan and Craftsman fireplace, on to the first floor primary suite where you’ll find a large dressing room and modernized bathroom with newer cabinets and fixtures including a large rain shower head, along with a bright bedroom, additionally cooled in summer by a ceiling fan. Down the hall is the large kitchen with enough cabinets to accommodate all your kitchen items, many with glass doors. Plus there’s a pantry! Included are the stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, and washer/dryer. Continue through to the dining room with its unique ceiling fan where you can celebrate holiday dinners in style. Climb the stairs to the second floor, where you’ll find a large sitting room/den, a guest room, a full bathroom with newer sink cabinet and fixtures plus a third bedroom/office. There is plenty of storage space that is all walk-in - no ladders to pull down! Out the hall door is a balcony overlooking the lush back yard - another pleasant space to sit in the evening and watch the many birds. Walk down the backyard path past the hurricane-rated carport and you’ll come to the GUEST HOUSE. This building has a one-bedroom apartment with a large bedroom, full bath, living room and kitchenette. The guesthouse has its own private patio. A wonderful place for your guests or in-laws to stay, or for you to do your hobbies. Or you could rent it out for extra income! This neighborhood is quiet, and it is high and dry - no flood insurance needed. There is no HOA. The main house has two HVAC systems, one for each floor. The guesthouse has its own system. BRAND NEW HURRICANE-RESISTANT ROOFS, wind resistant to 150 mph winds on both the main house and the guest house. (The roof warranty is transferable.) It is just 10 minutes from beautiful Clearwater Beach, 10 minutes from the new music venue The Sound, which is right next to a large public library, and blocks from the Pinellas Trail for walkers and bikers. Grocery stores abound nearby as do top notch medical facilities. A peaceful spot to enjoy life with quick access to everything else you need.
