Just a short boat ride across the lake is the popular Tarpon Turtle, one of the area's favorite waterfront restaurants, where you can dock your boat and enjoy lunch or dinner on the water. A unique feature of this property is access to a private neighborhood boat ramp, conveniently located just across the street and shared by only a small number of neighboring property owners.

Constructed with elevated living space and topped with a durable metal roof, the home offers peace of mind and low-maintenance ownership. The property is located on Lake Tarpon's flood-controlled system, which is regulated by the dam at the south end of the lake. According to the owner, the home has never experienced flood damage. The seller also reports that flood insurance has been very affordable. Buyers are encouraged to verify flood insurance requirements and premiums with their insurance provider. The seller also has an Elevation Certificate indicating the slab elevation exceeds the minimum required elevation. This may provide future flexibility for the lower level, subject to current building codes, permitting requirements, and local regulations. Buyers should independently verify any intended improvements with the appropriate authorities. Situated on a spacious lot with plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors, you'll appreciate the peaceful setting while remaining just minutes from historic downtown Tarpon Springs, the world-famous Sponge Docks, local restaurants, shopping, golf courses, beaches, and parks.
