About this home

Virtually Staged. Step into the timeless charm of this beautifully renovated 1930s Florida cottage bungalow, where historic character meets thoughtful modern updates. From the moment you enter, you'll appreciate the inviting living space centered around a charming fireplace—a true rarity in Florida—paired with new recessed dimmable lighting, updated ceiling fans, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The completely refreshed kitchen features butcher block countertops, a large stainless steel sink, and tasteful finishes that complement the home's original character. The beautifully updated bathroom blends modern style with classic charm, while an additional light-filled bonus room surrounded by windows offers the perfect space for a home office, reading room, playroom, or creative studio. An interior laundry room conveniently located just off the kitchen means no trips through the garage on hot summer afternoons or rainy Florida days. Situated on an oversized 8,000 sq. ft. lot, this property offers something exceptionally difficult to find: two detached garages. In addition to the one-car garage, the property features an oversized approximately 800 sq. ft. two-car garage complete with its own electric meter. Rare Value-Add Opportunity! One of the property's most exciting features is its LMDR zoning, which, combined with the oversized detached garage, presents outstanding potential for a future Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) conversion, subject to City of Clearwater approval and permitting.
