This spectacular waterfront home in sought-after Palm Harbor is replete with upgrades. Sleek architectural stylings are surrounded by lush curb appeal accompanied by a resort-style, alfresco space. With a tranquil lake as a backdrop, a screened lanai also offers vistas of the shimmering pool (filter pump replaced in 2022), topped with a sail shade (installed in 2024), surrounded by variegated pavers, and crowned with tailor-made awnings (2022). A custom five-foot-wide gate was designed to accommodate everything from a jet ski trailer to a golf cart. A newer sea wall (constructed in 2022 with a 50-year warranty) borders this sumptuous space that’s encircled by a raised garden bed dressed in a stone wall and staircase separated from the deck by an elegant railing. With ample room for dining and lounging, this versatile expanse is a serene go-to for relaxing and entertaining. The island that inhabits the lake is a bird sanctuary that’s also home to ducks and other wildlife. Beyond the classic double entry doors, your guests are welcomed by an exquisite blend of Travertine and hardwood floorings, luxe fixtures and finishes, four bedrooms, four baths, and almost 4000 square feet. Soaring vaulted ceilings and ultra-wide doorways lend to the absolute spaciousness while fireplaces lend warmth. Aside the formal living and dining rooms, a magnificent eat-in kitchen with casual dining bar showcases a wall of windows out to the lake. Besides cabinets galore, a new frig (2022) and new granite countertops (2020), shine. The adjacent family room with water views is a haven. As for the first-floor primary suite, it’s a retreat, boasting new swoon-worthy closets (2020). Its beautifully appointed ensuite presents a jetted soaking tub beneath a picture window along with remodeled quartz countertops (2025). The first-floor guest suite showcases its own balcony and water views, remodeled quartz countertops, and a new walk-in shower (2022). New quartz countertops were also added in the second spare bath. Luxury vinyl flooring runs throughout the second floor’s bedroom suites. Painted in 2025, the flat roof was replaced in 2024, and a recent 4-point inspection/wind mitigation check returned a “no issues” report. The windows were treated to a heat-resistant film that helps keep the house cool and offers additional privacy. In 2022 both a new 80-gallon commercial grade water heater and new electrical service panel were mounted. To add even more charm and convenience, Autumn Woods was recently deemed a designated golf cart community. It features Residents Only: community park, dog park, along with private tennis and pickleball courts. Palm Harbor offers the finest in the luxurious Florida lifestyle. Wonderful restaurants, exceptional retail, with proximity to the best of the Gulf Coast…this is the Harvest Moon you’ve been waiting for.
