Beyond this uniquely designed manse, you’re surrounded by the absolute beauty of Tarpon Springs. Famed for its historic sponge docks, it’s a 5-minute walk to downtown’s eclectic shops and dining; a less than 5-minute ride to Sunset Beach and Fred Howard Park; a 20-minute boat ride to the magnificent Gulf of Mexico that leads to Anclote Key, Three Rooker Island, and Honeymoon Island; and a bit farther south to the world-famous Clearwater Beach.
