Do you want to own a home with a story? This charming 3-bedroom, 1-bath residence offers nearly 1,400 square feet of comfortable living space, including a versatile bonus room that can easily be converted into a home office, playroom, or flex space to fit your needs. Major updates include a new roof (December 2020) and A/C (2020), providing peace of mind for years to come. PVC sewer lines from the home to the city connection were also replaced approximately 2 years ago. Inside, you’ll find original hardwood floors throughout, adding warmth and timeless character. The kitchen features marble flooring and newer granite countertops, while the dining room showcases an original mosaic floor that creates a beautiful focal point rich in craftsmanship and charm. The spacious living room is filled with large windows that invite abundant natural light, creating a bright, airy atmosphere perfect for everyday living and entertaining. The home is wired for an alarm system, and a well-fed sprinkler system keeps the yard looking its best. One of the most inviting features is the open front porch with classic Greek columns — the perfect spot for morning coffee or relaxing evenings. With proper permits, it could even be enclosed to create a sunroom for additional living space. The large front yard is separated from the street by a concrete wall and gate, offering privacy and security, while the backyard provides plenty of room for gatherings, play, or creating your own private retreat. Architectural plans are also available to add a second floor, opening the door to exciting future possibilities (with proper permits, of course). Location truly shines. Situated in flood zone X with no prior flooding issues, yet just minutes from Sunset Beach and Howard Park/Beach. Enjoy walking distance to Sunset Hills Elementary, Tarpon Springs High School, and Jacobson Culinary Arts Academy, with the famous Sponge Docks and charming downtown Tarpon Springs only a short drive away. And now… the story. The current owner is a former professional soccer player and visionary designer who helped launch women’s soccer in New York in the late 1970s. Through the Stavros Soccer Team, he pioneered custom uniforms for women, helped establish one of the city’s first competitive leagues, and was an early force in blending fashion with athletics. As a special closing gift, the buyer will receive a signed copy of his latest book, available on Amazon — a meaningful piece of the home’s history to cherish. Don’t miss the opportunity to own a home with character, charm, and a story all its own. Schedule your showing today.
