From the moment you pass through the front door with its exquisite etched glass, this home will transport you back to a time gone by. Whether it's the 10ft bead board ceilings with their majestic medallions and crown moldings to the numerous built-ins, this is truly a home you will fall in love with.

All the rooms in the home are large and comfortable and still have their original heart pine floors. You will enjoy cool breezes throughout the house thanks to windows afforded on all sides, and large, period ceiling fans will keep air conditioning costs down in the summer. You will spend many an evening enjoying the sights and sounds from the relaxing front porch, which is large enough for a swing as well as several comfy chairs.

The Master bedroom suite includes an attached sitting room with plenty of windows which keep it light and airy, perfect for curling up with a good book or watching a little tv. The master bath includes a custom shower and walk in closet as well as easy access to the laundry room.

The spacious kitchen comes with a large farmhouse sink with built-in drainboards, handmade custom cabinetry and new countertops. The guest bath features a pedestal sink and vintage medicine cabinet with beveled glass. The formal dining room has period lighting and wall coverings as well as 6 ft wainscoting with attached plate rail.

Out back is a detached workshop and the property is surrounded with privacy fencing. You'll enjoy fresh squeezed grapefruit juice every morning thanks to your very own tree in the backyard.

Located in the historic fishing village of Tarpon Springs, Florida, this home is within walking distance of the downtown historic district, with its antique shops and restaurants and the "World Famous" sponge docks. There are 2 county parks, one on the Gulf of Mexico only a 10 minute drive away, as well as a newly opened dog park just up the street. For the golfer, Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club is ten minutes down the road. On both sides of the property are city owned, wooded lots which will never be developed, affording the feeling of living in the country while having the convenience of the city at your doorstep. The brand new Tarpon Springs Elementary school is under construction four blocks away and both the middle and high schools are a 10 minute bus ride. You can also reach the Tampa/Clearwater area in only 30 minutes. Up the street is the Tarpon Springs City Hall and Performing Arts Center, which features numerous musical events throughout the year.
