Occasionally, a once in a lifetime home comes up for sale. Welcome to this 1917 masterpiece that has been meticulously updated. Once you pull on to the “Windy City Old Chicago Brick” driveway that continues to the backyard, you will notice the attention to detail. First, you'll walk up the brick stairs to the front porch with original hardwood floors, then you'll step inside and notice the reclaimed wood floors from the Belleview Biltmore Hotel in Belleair, FL (Circa 1900) These were redone in 2016 after house was lifted and concrete pilings were added. Did you notice the interior staircase? This staircase was reclaimed from a historic home in Dunedin. The Historic home was known as "Deer Hall" built in 1908 by Arthur and Agatha Nigels. Walk into the dining space and you’ll see the built-in wooden shelves and cabinets that are original to the house in 1917, as well as the chandelier also from the historic Belleview Biltmore Hotel. Open the bottom drawer, it has the original "Tarpon Lumber Co." Stamp. The kitchen was updated in 2016 with a Reverse Osmosis water filter for drinking water under the sink. There is also a large filter outside of the house, this filter and water softener is for all the water coming into the home. The master retreat is also downstairs and has a nice walk-in closet as the wood floors continue; in the ensuite you’ll find marble floors. There is a second bedroom downstairs. Before you walk upstairs, look at the windows in the lower level. Most of them are original working windows. As you walk up the beautiful wooden staircase, you’ll find two more bedrooms and another bathroom that was updated in 2020. In 2014 there was a metal roof installed, as well as the air conditioning replaced with filters for allergens. In December 2022 the electrical panel was replaced. Outside there is a park-like backyard with and yes the lot next to the home is included. This is a walkable neighborhood near to Craig Park, historic downtown Tarpon Springs with shops and restaurants, as well as the sponge docks. You are approximately 2 mi from Fred Howard Park and Beach as well as Sunset Beach. There is a boat ramp a few blocks away at Craig Park that is great for kayakers and fishermen. Don't miss this opportunity!
