Few homes in Florida stop you at the door. This one does unobstructed Gulf views stretching to the horizon, with front row seats to the kind of sunsets that make people never want to leave Crystal Beach. Welcome to one of Pinellas County's most beloved coastal villages, where timeless Old Florida charm meets a true community lifestyle. Golf cart friendly and rich in history, Crystal Beach offers a Gulf front park shaded by century old Oaks, a fishing pier, children's activity center, a quaint seaside church, and direct access to the 54+ mile Pinellas Trail. Golf cart parades, holiday block parties, concerts in the park, and sunset gatherings at the pier this isn't just a neighborhood, it's a lifestyle. This exceptional Key West style home spans 4,163 square feet on an oversized 0.31 acre lot. Originally established in 1954, the home underwent a complete ground up reconstruction completed in 2001 rebuilt with commercial grade materials including insulated concrete forms, steel framing, heavy gauge steel studs, and four independent HVAC systems. Buyers benefit from the charm and legacy of a historic Crystal Beach address with the structural integrity and insurance profile of a home effectively built in the 21st century. The chef's kitchen is appointed with a SubZero refrigerator, dual Dcor convection ovens, a six burner gas and electric cooktop, warming drawer, 48 inch range hood, tankless water heater, and is plumbed for a second dishwasher. It opens seamlessly to the family room, where soaring ceilings and a stone fireplace anchor the space with the Gulf as your constant backdrop. The second floor primary suite is a true retreat, featuring vaulted exposed beam ceilings, dual walk in closets, and a spa style bath with a double head steam shower, soaking tub, dual vanities, and a private water closet. A generous window seat flows to a private balcony with uninterrupted Gulf views the perfect place to end every day. Outside, tropical landscaping including banana and mango trees surrounds a temperature controlled PebbleTec saltwater pool and spa with sun shelf. The private dock, built with lifetime warranty WearDeck composite planks, features a boat lift and generous seating. From here, Anclote Key Lighthouse, Three Rooker Bar, and Honeymoon Island are minutes away by boat or head south to Clearwater and St. Pete for a weekend of waterfront dining. Inside, the home is equally suited for fun and function. A music and game room connects to two guest bedrooms with a shared bath. A large fitness studio opens directly to the pool and Gulf workouts with a view. A loft above the family room is a favorite hangout spot, and a spacious laundry and mudroom adds everyday practicality. The oversized 2.5 car garage doubles as a workshop with built in storage and a freestanding elevator provides easy access to the large, fully walkable attic above. Nearby, the vibrant dining and arts scenes of Dunedin and Tarpon Springs are just minutes away, with two international airports within easy reach. Whether you're seeking a full time residence, a waterfront escape, or a generational investment opportunities like this on the Gulf are genuinely rare.
