Property Description
Welcome to the historic red brick street of Santa Barbara Drive. The Dunedin Garden club started planting the stately Washington Palms in 1928 that line the street. This highly desirable location is just steps from the sparkling waters of the intercostal waterway and the Gulf of Mexico. Two community parks of Mira Vista and San Jose are just a block or two away and provide water access for fishing and enjoying the most spectacular sunsets. This historic home that offers a mid-century modern design was situated on the oversized corner lot to take advantage of the water views and sunsets every evening. Mature oak and pine tree welcomes you home. Step up to your double door entrance and enter into a very welcoming foyer with parquet flooring. The remainder of the home has polished and gleaming terrazzo floor throughout. The very spacious formal living room with bay windows overlooks the beautifully landscaped front yard. The adjoining formal dining room also offers views of front of home and a sliver of a water view. Custom designed plantation shutters in formal areas and bedrooms. A family size kitchen with the most mid-century modern, style appropriate table that can seat 8. The original maple cabinets are a work of craftsmanship. Newer stainless appliances include two built-in ovens (1 is a convection oven) . Both pass-through window above sink and sliding glass doors lead to pool and lanai area. Adjacent wood paneled den is a perfect quiet space. Large storage closet in this room. A very spacious primary bedroom is in the back of the home and feels like a quiet sanctuary. Sliding glass doors lead to pool and spa. Adjoining primary bathroom with step-in shower. Three additional large bedrooms and guest bathroom along hallway. Custom plantation shutters added to these bedrooms. Cedar lined closets in hallway provides additional storage space. Fifth bedroom or office is located in hallway within close proximity of third bathroom/pool bath. This office has lovely water views. Three sets of sliding glass doors lead to a expansive, completely updated pool and lanai area. In 2018 the pool was resurfaced, and a new spa was added along with a salt water purification system. A natural gas heater heats both the pool and spa. A brand new white aluminum birdcage was engineered and installed over the pool and deck areas. A super gutter was added for better rain water disbursement. Travertine tile decking was added to a 42X49 lanai and deck area. The expansive covered lanai area is a perfect entertainment space. A new auto pool sweeper conveys. Garage conversion was done many years ago. The recreation room (21X30) has upgraded insulation and a newer ceiling for better energy efficiency along with PGT WindGuard replacement windows. There is currently a pool table table and entertainment equipment in this area. This multi-purpose space could be a work shop, theater room or possibly a in-law suite. The air conditioned area has over 630 sq ft of heated and cooled space. Sellers believe the framing is still in place if new buyers would like to convert back to a two car garage. Home has been repainted inside and out with coastal theme color choices. New metal roof was installed in 2015. A newer sprinkler system was installed and reclaimed water is provided by City of Dunedin. The neighborhood of Dunedin Isles is centrally located to allow a short walk or bike ride to either world famous Honeymoon Island State Park, the Pinellas Trail or Downtown Dunedin.
