2460 RICHARDS RD

One of a kind, custom home with exceptional curb appeal, room to roam and access to Lake Tarpon! Situated in a non flood zone this is a boater’s paradise and an entertainer’s dream with a two minute boat ride from your private dock to the 2,500 acre lake with no required HOA in unincorporated Pinellas County. Half an acre of land including a second parcel (50ft x 125ft approx.) which could be buildable (Buyer to verify). This is outdoor living at its best! The multiple outdoor living areas are truly exceptional, and a screened-in solar heated pool & spa borders a charming side garden in one direction and serene views of a sprawling yard with lush mature landscaping on the other side which leads onto the 90 ft of canal frontage. This impressive residence embodies the southern style of living with a full wrap-around porch and a durable metal roof. Four bedrooms, three full baths plus a bonus room (almost 400 sq ft)behind the garage which could be extra living space, exercise room, games room or possibly in-law space? Sliding doors from this room open onto a grand deck with views of the canal. A charming breezeway links to the house itself which has everything you could hope for including pavers installed on the driveway, front path, side patio garden, pool/spa deck and breezeway. Spacious entrance lobby leads onto an elegant living room with a fireplace and built-in library shelves. The updated kitchen features quality maple cabinets with soft close drawers, granite countertops and backsplash, superb center island and stainless steel appliances including newer French door refrigerator, double oven, and built- in microwave, dishwasher and brand new wine fridge. A double set of French doors leads to the back porch, pool and spa area. Wood flooring throughout and an updated bathroom and laundry room completes the first floor. Upstairs is the luxurious master suite - a light filled bedroom with high ceilings, fireplace, walk in closets and a gorgeous master bathroom with elegant double vanity, clawfoot tub and walk in double shower. Three further bedrooms and an updated family bathroom complete this floor. The trees that surround this half acre lot give it a country feel. Whole yard sprinkler system is fed from the lake. So many nature sightings from the house and out on the lake including bald eagles, ospreys, hawks, herons, egrets, even otters! Lots of room for toys or hobbies with established garden areas and open ground for additional parking, including RV. Lake Tarpon is monitored and the level can be lowered in the event of a potential storm. By boat you can visit the Tarpon Turtle restaurant, John Chestnut Park, and Anderson Park or just cruise and enjoy the sunset! The lake life is waiting for you, come experience it today!
