2987 CASTLE WOODS LANE CLEARWATER FL 33759 MLS #U8234195

A rare opportunity in a small, quiet neighborhood of 17 unique and architecturally different homes, with large lots and plenty of privacy. Very private and secluded, yet 5 minutes to all major shopping and downtown Safety Harbor. The home sits on almost 1/2 acre and has been lovingly remodeled, with a mix of modern contemporary and functionality. Upon entering, through double doors with lead glass, you will feel an instant calm in the large foyer, looking through a soothingly lit living / dining room combo, out to the lushly landscaped yard and private pool with travertine pavers, which sits just beyond an enormous screened lanai. The dining room has plantation shutters and could very easily be enclosed for a large home office. The split floor plan is ideal, with the primary bedroom towards the front of the home, and secondary in the back. Enter the over-sized primary bedroom through french doors, giving access to the lanai and pool. Primary bath has a wonderful birch wood backsplash that runs the entire wall behind the stylish double vanities with touch control lit mirrors. Notice the two large, built out closets, linen closet, jetted garden tub, double rain heads in the walk in shower and private water closet. This home is truly set up for entertaining with the lanai area wrapped with the living room on one side and the family room on the other, both with easy access to the beautiful outdoor space. Enjoy the gourmet kitchen with very functional cabinet space (wine rack, stemware slots, lazy Susan, pull out trash, deep pot drawers) that have crown molding, under cabinet lighting, and 4 person breakfast bar. The kitchen is appointed with a stainless steel, Samsung appliance package with range hood, large SS farm sink, a convenient pass through for nights in the dining room, and an island work space. Great size breakfast room that has more cabinet space. This area is great for desk workspace, or could easily be transformed into a wet bar, with plumbing already existing behind it, in the laundry room with front loading washer and dryer on top of pedestal storage drawers. This great kitchen space is open to the large family room with a lovely electric fireplace. The two secondary bedrooms are warm and cozy with the same engineered hardwood flooring as in the primary bedroom, and both rooms have walk-in closets and easy access to full pool bath, with walk-in shower. Bedroom three has another set of french doors to the stunning outdoor space. Throughout the home you will find: recessed lighting, upgraded fans, crown molding, and double paned impact doors. Moving outside…you will see a mix of lush landscaping to include large oaks, Queen palms, olive, cherry, fig, and pineapple trees and plants, and other foliage. A wonderful pavilion sits off to the side for relaxing evenings, and the travertine extends over to a large fire pit area. Castle Woods is 10 – 20 minutes to both Clearwater and Tampa Airports, award winning beaches, International Mall, Dunedin, downtown Clearwater, marinas and boat ramps, and so much more! No HOA in this friendly but never imposing neighborhood. The home has one neighboring home, sits at the end of a cul de sac, and a 3 acre tract of land behind it. This home will not disappoint!!!
