An absolutely charming home nestled on a fenced, corner lot is the perfect example of the unique architectural nuances found throughout what is lovingly called “Delightful Dunedin” by the locals. A stunning waterfront town, Dunedin is known for the array of distinctive shops, eateries, and for hosting seasonal celebrations. Colonial Court’s cozy neighborhood is just minutes from Edgewater Drive Park on the Dunedin Channel, Dunedin Blue Jays’ stadium, Dunedin Fine Arts Center, and the Pinellas Trail — the famous 47 mile venue that spans from Tarpon Springs to St. Pete welcoming joggers, skaters, cyclists, and anyone who wants to enjoy a scenic stroll! Amidst the natural beauty of this amenity-rich town, you’ll find an inviting 2-story/3 bedroom/2 bath/2 car garage home. The sun-filled living room is spacious and boasts a dozen front-facing windows accompanied by a brick-faced, wood burning fireplace and hickory hardwood flooring. The adjacent dining room also reflects the natural light while the kitchen offers a rustic ambiance juxtaposed against stainless steel appliances, ample cabinetry, built-in spice rack, generous pantry, and a reverse osmosis system. The first-floor bedroom is wonderfully appointed with glass French doors revealing a private patio, making this space an ideal in-law suite or to accommodate a returning grad! Its accompanying bath features both a tub and shower, along with refined stylings. Upstairs, an expansive den can serve a multitude of purposes: playroom, home theater, or yoga studio with vaulted ceilings that lend drama to this exceptional space. Magnificent cathedral ceilings make a bold statement in the master suite crowned with skylights and made even homier with its own wood-burning fireplace flanked by more windows. The ensuite showcases a tiled shower room. The second upstairs bedroom is also light and bright with access to a lovely balcony overlooking the tranquil neighborhood. Beautiful pavers unify the large outdoor space and combine to create two individual pathways around the perimeter. A stone fire pit will be your new destination to relax and entertain. Besides a home security system, there’s a sprinkler system that uses reclaimed water, and a NEW hot water heater installed in 2023. This is just an extraordinary place to call home.
