About This Home

As of March 2025

Prepare to be absolutely enchanted by this stunning 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom gem located in the heart of Seminole. Lovingly maintained by its original family, this home radiates care and pride of ownership. Every detail has been thoughtfully attended to, making this property a shining example of elegance and comfort. As you step inside, you're welcomed by a layout designed for both functionality and beauty. Polished terrazzo floors gleam beneath an abundance of natural light, while the split floor plan ensures ample privacy and space for all. The centerpiece of the home, the kitchen, underwent a complete transformation in 2021. It now boasts custom solid-wood soft-close cabinetry with pull-out shelves, sleek quartz countertops, and high-end stainless steel appliances, creating a space that is as stylish as it is practical. Step outside into your very own slice of paradise. The private, spacious backyard invites you to relax or entertain, with a large screened-in lanai perfectly suited for gatherings or peaceful moments with your morning coffee. Florida's sunshine and gentle breezes are yours to enjoy in this oasis-like setting. Retreat to the primary bedroom, where you'll find a beautifully updated ensuite bathroom from 2020, featuring a step-in shower and a walk-in closet. Every detail here has been designed for your comfort and tranquility. This home's location offers the best of both worlds--just a quick four-minute drive to the breathtaking Gulf Beaches, yet safely perched 70 feet above sea level, well outside flood zones. It's a rare combination that ensures peace of mind while keeping you close to the sun, sand, and surf. Another highlight is a short walk to the highly-rated Seminole schools, including the Tech School. The home also boasts impact-rated sliders and living room windows installed in 2024, with custom hurricane panels for all other windows, ensuring safety & security. A spotless 2-car garage with epoxy flooring, completed in 2022, adds another layer of convenience. Major updates like a NEW HVAC (2024), water heater (2021), water softener (2018), roof (2017), solid-core interior doors (2021), an upgraded electrical panel (2020), and a paver driveway (2019) reflect the meticulous care given to this property. This Seminole treasure is ready for you to make it your own. Whether it's the modern updates, the unbeatable location, or the inviting warmth of this lovingly maintained home, every detail is a testament to its exceptional value. Schedule your showing today and experience what makes this house a TRUE HOME!
