GULF ACCESS Waterfront Dream Home. NO FLOOD INSURANCE. You will not find a better value for a waterfront home with direct gulf access anywhere in Pinellas County. Wake up to glass-calm water, mangrove islands, and the quiet rhythm of nature—this is waterfront living at its most rare and protected. Tucked along the Anclote River delta, this Gulf-access home enjoys a uniquely sheltered setting that offers peace of mind, breathtaking views, and direct boating access to the open Gulf, all without the requirement for flood insurance. The home has never flooded. From the moment you enter, wide water views draw you in. Sunlight fills the open living spaces, blurring the line between indoors and out as birdlife moves through the delta beyond. The setting is alive yet tranquil—home to roseate spoonbills, wood storks, osprey, pelicans, and countless other protected species that make this stretch of water a daily nature preserve outside your door. Fishing here is excellent, whether casting from the dock or heading out by boat for a day on the Gulf. The home offers 2,699 square feet with 4 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, and a spacious media room or man cave that easily serves as a large additional bedroom or flex space. The chef’s kitchen, fully remodeled in 2021, anchors the home with GE Café Wi-Fi–enabled appliances, an induction cooktop, double ovens, custom cabinetry, and a generous island overlooking the pool and water—ideal for both quiet mornings and lively gatherings. Bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated, including full rebuilds of the primary and guest baths in 2022, along with a refreshed powder room. Outdoors, Florida living takes center stage. A resort-style Pebble Tec pool with electric heat is surrounded by a travertine deck, while the private dock—fully rebuilt with composite decking, new pilings, electricity, freshwater access, and solar lighting—makes boating effortless. The 14,000-pound boat lift invites spontaneous sunset cruises, fishing trips, or quick runs to the Gulf, while dolphins and manatees often make surprise appearances in your own backyard. Located in historic Tarpon Springs, this home offers easy access to a vibrant coastal lifestyle known for its Greek heritage, sponge docks, and some of the area’s freshest seafood. Gulf beaches, marinas, shopping, dining, and entertainment are all within close reach, making this an exceptional option for full-time residents or those relocating from up north seeking year-round outdoor living without sacrificing culture or convenience. This is more than a move-in-ready home—it’s a protected waterfront lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find. Experience it privately and see why this stretch of the Anclote River is one of Pinellas County’s best-kept secrets.
