The expansive dock, featuring an aluminum bar fence, serves as an extra space for outdoor entertainment. A large two-car garage includes a 220-volt electric car charging station, and the home is energy self-sufficient with a comprehensive solar panel array on the roof. The garage additionally has an entryway into the home through a climate-controlled extra-large utility room. The water heater comes with its own solar panel on the roof, complemented by a Kinetico whole-home water filtration system. This distinctive home is ideally situated near world-renowned beaches, excellent shopping, two airports, top-tier schools, Tampa, historic St. Petersburg, and the pristine springs and wilderness of the Nature Coast. Lake Tarpon, the largest lake in the tri-county area, provides exceptional fishing, boating, jet skiing, tubing, and lakefront dining that's boat-accessible, along with a slalom course for water sports aficionados. The lake's non-susceptibility to coastal flooding translates into highly affordable flood insurance for this property. Having functioned as both a family home and a profitable short-term rental (commanding $450-$579 a night depending on the season as a 4-bedroom Airbnb), this property offers a unique opportunity to acquire a splendid, secure waterfront residence. This solid home stayed high and dry during the storms and sustained zero damage! Buyer's agents are welcome.
