About This Home
As of April 2026Fully remodeled home with high end luxury finishes in desirable Seminole with no HOA and no Flood Zone. Located on a quiet, cul-de-sac location, walking distance to Seminole schools. This exceptional 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence has been thoughtfully reimagined with high-end designer finishes and extensive energy-efficient upgrades, offering a rare combination of elegance and performance. The centerpiece of the home is a stunning 25-foot chef’s kitchen featuring exotic marble countertops, an oversized island with seating for seven, top-of-the-line new appliances, custom cabinetry, beverage center with two under counter refrigerators and a newly constructed butler’s pantry — a layout rarely found in homes of this size. Three bedrooms located on the second level, all generously sized. Primary bedroom offers walk in closet and ensuite bath, with double sinks, walk in shower and soaking tub. Every bathroom has been completely renovated with upscale materials and refined finishes. Upgraded flooring, moldings, interior doors and fixtures throughout. A ventless fireplace anchors the living space, while the upstairs laundry room adds modern convenience. Beyond aesthetics, this home was upgraded for long-term efficiency and comfort. Improvements include a new GE mini-split air conditioning system, tankless water heater, newer double-pane windows, newer roof, new attic insulation, and all new appliances. The oversized two-car garage and oversized 0.20-acre lot provide additional flexibility and functionality, plenty of space for a pool and extended outdoor living area. The property also includes a solar energy system that has produced an average electric bill of just $58 per month over the past three years. Located minutes from Gulf beaches, shopping, dining, and top-rated schools, this home offers luxury finishes, meaningful upgrades, and significant energy savings — all without HOA restrictions. Financing opportunity available with assumable 3.62% interest rate!
