Secluded, but accessible to the natural beauty and eclectic mix of shopping and restaurants in the famed Tarpon Springs area, stands this impeccable 3 bedroom/2 full bath/3 car garage home.

Sliders to the smartly styled eat-in kitchen with its shining appliances and breakfast bar make for a wonderful blend that feels like home.

An inside laundry room gives plenty of room to organize and store essentials. To top it all off, the welcoming family room with oversized windows and sliders to the pool are offset by a magnificent wood-burning fireplace with mantle and brick hearth. Whether new to the area or a current resident, this is a classic Florida home with a twist.
