Property Description
Inside, the home features genuine hardwood floors throughout—rare to find, in excellent condition, and with no carpet or pets since installation. A spacious family room with a wood-burning fireplace sets the stage for gatherings, while the kitchen offers granite counters, a butcher block island, and newer appliances. One of the home's most unique details is its hurricane-rated bay window with custom seating built from original wood salvaged from the historic Belleview Biltmore Hotel. Once known as the “Queen of the Gulf,” the Biltmore was a landmark of Clearwater's past, and having a piece of it here adds a sense of heritage and story you won't find in another home. Both bathrooms and upgraded trim throughout have been tastefully refreshed.
The home has been carefully maintained with major updates already complete: a 30-year architectural shingle roof (2008) installed with full peel-and-stick adhesive underlayment and improved sloping for superior durability and storm protection, a 4-ton AC with new ducts and returns (2013), Wi-Fi enabled water heater (approx. 4 years old), double-pane windows, and septic pumped February 2025. A deep well provides fresh water and supports the irrigation system.
The backyard is an oasis of privacy with a large covered porch finished in pavers—perfect for year-round grilling or relaxing outdoors. The oversized lot offers ample space for play, gardening, or future possibilities. And car enthusiasts, RV owners, or eco-conscious buyers will love the oversized 2-car garage outfitted with 240-volt wiring—a rare feature that makes it ready for EV charging, RV hookup, or heavy-duty workshop equipment.
Lifestyle amenities make this location unbeatable—just a half-mile walk to BayCare Ballpark (Phillies spring training & events), and easy access to the Rheam Wilson, Phillippe Park, Druid, and Pinellas Trail systems with over 75 miles of paths for biking, running, and walking without traffic. Best of all, the property is not in a flood zone and has never flooded in 58 years.
And when it comes to convenience, it's hard to top—only 15 minutes to the Gulf beaches and 20 minutes to Tampa International Airport, making this home the ideal choice for anyone seeking privacy, history, and space in central Clearwater.
