1550 RIDGEWOOD STREET CLEARWATER FL 33755 MLS #U8248663

Dear 1550 Ridgewood St, what an incredible house you have been. You helped us raise 3 amazing children and live a truly incredible life! You provided us with reliable shelter throughout our many years together in the most incredible part of Clearwater. WE WILL MISS YOU! From the most memorable parties in town to epic kids’ birthday bashes, you have been unmatched. We loved your traditional ranch style, transformed into a brilliant hybrid of old, contemporary, and artistic with a touch of mid-century modern. Your entertaining backyard, our oasis. You braved every challenge, soaking up the Florida sun with grace. Endless memories with you! Your new owners will adore and care for you even more, continuing your legacy into the future. Until then, you have us. Shine as you always have… LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. A much-loved family home, and the most popular one in the trendy Glenwood Estates area, sits directly across from a peaceful private park with mature trees and stunning custom homes. On a glorious corner lot, the house has lush views of parks, trees, or the sparkling pool from every room. As you walk in, huge picture-perfect window views greet you, highlighting an enormous living area. It has two master bedrooms with bathrooms, and the two guest bedrooms share another bathroom. The last bathroom is in the garage, currently used for storage. The massive 16,000-gallon gunite pool with a fiberglass finish is 11.5 feet deep at the deep end. It is saltwater-ready and just requires a new salt cell. A safety fence is available if you have young kids. The sleek and contemporary wood fencing includes a spectacular 150 ft jasmine wall along the pool with a captivating scent throughout the year, evoking views of Tuscany. The master suite has sliding doors with direct pool access, adding to the luxury. There is a crawl space under the original part of the home, and the newer part is built on slab. Rain gutters surround most of the house, and the low-set roof surface is a tar membrane. The original rafters are true 4×2 hard old wood, durable and extremely rare in new construction. The smart two-car garage has a ventilated brick wall and a ring system for driveway and smart garage door entry. Its floors are also laminated. The sprinkler system is 4-zoned. The oversized family room fireplace connects to an outdoor wood-burning grill. The city has upgraded all street plumbing, and the home is in an X flood zone. The original part of the house is plumbed for gas, while the newer part runs on electric. The floors are original tongue-and-groove hardwood in excellent condition, with carpet in the master bedroom and tile in the family room. The large, modern kitchen leads to the garage, and the laundry room, though incomplete, would make a great mudroom/laundry storage combo. Beyond the paved pool/dining areas, there’s a massive grass space for kids, dogs, or further expansion. This home’s features are too many to list – you must see it to believe it. Sold as is for the seller’s convenience, buyers should do all due diligence.
