This property has just been updated and furnished for your enjoyment. It is very spacious, with a huge walk-in closet in the Master Bedroom. There are large closets in all the rooms. All you need to bring are your clothes and a toothbrush. The master bath features a large Jacuzzi tub for unwinding after a day at the beach or golfing. All bedrooms feature TV and VCR combo for your viewing pleasure. The Master also has a walk out to the pool area.
This house is great for entertaining. There is a formal living and dining area and a separate family room and kitchen with a large eating area. Or dine by the pool in the completely screened Lani. A large private, fenced back yard completes the area. Our 3-bedroom 3 bath home will comfortably accommodate a family of six. It is also perfect for three couples traveling together, or as a romantic and extra-spacious getaway for two.
You are located in a secluded neighborhood on a non through street that is just blocks from Fred Howard Park. This park was first opened in 1966 and is located at the end of a mile long causeway west of Florida Ave. in Tarpon Springs. This is a beautiful beach area where the swimming and sunbathing are excellent. The facilities include, very nice sheltered picnic areas, playgrounds for the kids, restrooms, Bar-B-Q grills, and beach showers. Bring your fishing poles and your wind surfers. This is a very popular park with the local Floridians and over 2 million people visit the park annually. On weekends it can be crowded, but on week days there are fewer people enjoying the sun and the water. This beach has added some benches for catching rays and viewing the magnificent sunsets. There is also a special area for fishing. Anderson Park, on Tarpon Lake is located less than three miles away. Sunset Beach is two miles away.
The Sponge Docks are listed in the National Historic Districts register. There are more than 140 art gallery/studios, antique shops, boutiques and restaurants located just blocks away.
The house is just minutes away from the sponge docks and various boat trips.
The house is centrally located in Tarpon Springs just north of Clearwater beach. It is one of the oldest cities on the Florida West Coast. The Greeks first settled this area around the turn of the century and started the Sponge Diving Industry. Visitors can enjoy the authentic Greek food in the more than 20 restaurants, shop in the sponge and souvenir stores, and board cruise boats for half day or day trips for casino gambling or fishing. Jet ski rentals are nearby as are boat rentals.
There are two bicycles provided (ten-speed mountain bikes) and a two-person, sit-on-top kayak for those times you want to spend just paddling around at the park or on Tarpon Lake.
