Description

HURRICANE SEASON IS HERE! This well-maintained, sturdy house in Magnolia Heights has weathered everything for 100 years in its high-elevation, non-evacuation, under-grounded utility neighborhood. During last fall’s hurricanes, while others sweltered, no loss of electricity here! Love the vintage charm of an older home, but not the million-dollar-plus prices? This house is just a half mile from exclusive Harbor Oaks, minus the multi-million dollar price tag. Built with old-growth lumber, the main house has a living room, dining room, kitchen and primary suite on the first floor, along with a sunroom for watching evening sunsets. All main floor rooms have decorative ceiling fans. The large kitchen has plenty of cabinets, many with glass doors, plus a pantry. Major appliances included. The primary suite has an updated bathroom and a separate dressing room. Upstairs are two more bedrooms, a full, updated bath and a sitting room/playroom. There are lots of storage rooms too that are all walk-in - no ladders to pull down! Out the hall door is a balcony overlooking the lush back yard - a pleasant space to sit and enjoy coffee or cocktails. Walk down the backyard path past the hurricane-rated carport and you’ll come to the GUEST HOUSE. This building has a one-bedroom apartment with a large bedroom, full bath, living room, kitchenette and its own private patio. A wonderful place for your guests to stay, or for a hobby space. Or you could rent it out for extra income! The backyard itself is a quiet, peaceful oasis with many easy-care native plants - perfect for a barbecue or just sit and listen to the birds. There is no HOA, just a friendly neighborhood group. The main house has two HVAC systems, one for each floor. The guesthouse has its own system. HURRICANE-RESISTANT, FORTIFIED ROOFS, wind resistant to 150 mph winds on both the main house and the guest house were put on last September. (The roof warranty is transferable.) Long narrow driveway with room for three+ cars, in addition to the carport. This special home is just 10 minutes from beautiful Clearwater Beach, 10 minutes from the music venue The Sound, which is right next to a large public library. It is a few blocks from the Pinellas Trail for walkers and bikers. Grocery stores abound nearby as do top notch medical facilities. A peaceful spot to enjoy life with quick access to everything else you need. Please note: This property does NOT include the adjacent vacant lot at the corner of Prospect and Jeffords.
