Tucked along the gentle flow of the Anclote River, this single-story waterfront home perfectly captures Florida living. The yard is framed by mature trees, while the covered two-car carport and covered front porch provide shade and places to sit outside and enjoy. Inside, the home opens to a foyer with tile flooring and wainscoting, leading seamlessly into an open-concept living space. The galley-style kitchen features light cabinetry with wood trim, crown molding, tiled counters and backsplash, and a ceiling fan that enhances comfort while cooking. Just beyond, the dining area flows naturally into the spacious living room, where large windows fill the space with sunlight and offer peaceful views of the surrounding greenery and river. Double glass doors opening outward connect to an enclosed rear porch that overlooks the water, providing a perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee or unwind in the evening as the sun sets over the river. The primary bedroom has an ensuite bathroom that has a tub/shower combo, and tiled walls and floors. The second bedroom is ideal for guests, an office, or a hobby room. Outside, the backyard opens to a beautiful waterfront view, where a pavered walkway leads down to the river’s edge surrounded by lush landscaping and the sounds of nature. The screened porch and open lawn provide ideal spaces for relaxation, gardening, or weekend gatherings. Whether you’re fishing from the shore, enjoying the gentle river breeze, or simply taking in the scenery, this home offers a lifestyle of peaceful simplicity. Conveniently located near Anclote River Park, where you can launch a boat or enjoy a picnic by the water; Key Vista Nature Park, known for its walking trails and birdwatching; and the Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks, a local favorite for waterfront dining and boutique shopping—this property brings together nature, comfort, and accessibility in one timeless riverside retreat.
