Property Description

# Lakefront Value That's Hard to Ignore Sometimes the best deals don't look like it from the street. Let's be straightforward: this house won't win curb appeal awards. But walk inside this Lake Tarpon waterfront home and you'll quickly understand why it's priced $50,000 below appraisal—and why that's actually great news for a savvy buyer. The previous owners invested heavily in the things that truly matter: New roof (2021). New HVAC (2021). Updated electrical panel (2021). Hurricane windows with transferable warranty (2022). Brand new heated saltwater pool with screen enclosure (2022). The kitchen was fully remodeled with custom wood cabinets, quartz countertops, and stainless appliances. Both bathrooms were completely renovated. Fresh paint throughout. Luxury vinyl flooring everywhere. Even the irrigation system is smart and runs on lake water. These aren't surface-level cosmetic updates. These are major systems and features with decades of life remaining—the kind of expenses most buyers have to budget for in the first several years of ownership. This 2-bedroom home offers generous, well-proportioned spaces. The primary suite is spacious and comfortable. The second bedroom works perfectly as a guest room or home office. Rather than cramming in an extra bedroom, the floor plan preserves open, light-filled common areas with beautiful direct water views. You have direct access to over 2,500 acres of Lake Tarpon from your private dock. No bridges. No restrictions. Just walk out back and you're on the water—perfect for boating, fishing, or kayaking. The lake's managed water levels mean no flood insurance is required, which translates to significant annual savings. No HOA fees. No CDD fees. And with all major systems recently replaced, you won't face expensive maintenance surprises in the near future. Minutes from the Sponge Docks in Tarpon Springs, Fred Howard Park beaches, the Pinellas Trail, shopping, dining, and medical facilities. The neighborhood is established and quiet. If curb appeal is your top priority, this may not be the right fit. But if you're looking for a well-updated waterfront home with direct lake access at a below-appraisal price, this property offers exceptional value. The systems are new. The interior is beautiful. The location is excellent. The price reflects cosmetic factors rather than structural or functional concerns. **Schedule a showing and see the value for yourself.**
