A hidden diamond in the rough! Rare opportunity to own a 1.65-acre waterfront estate in charming Safety Harbor, Florida. Tucked away at the end of a gated drive, this expansive two-story, 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath pool home sits on prized Old Tampa Bay frontage— offering stunning sunrise views and a tranquil waterfront lifestyle. With over 4,000 square feet of living space, the home showcases rich architectural elements including marble floors, soaring ceilings, ornate columns, a dramatic oak staircase with wrought iron accents and a Juliet balcony. Sliders across the back of the home and striking arch-top windows fill the interior with natural light and frame sweeping water views. This home is being sold AS IS, and the price reflects needed updates—presenting a rare chance to renovate or rebuild in one of Safety Harbor’s most coveted locations. Just over a mile to Philippe Park’s public boat ramp and minutes from charming downtown Safety Harbor, known for its marina, shops, dining, festivals, and waterfront parks. Enjoy quick access to major roads, Tampa International and St. Pete/Clearwater airports, Honeymoon Island (10 miles), Clearwater Beach (13.6 miles), and downtown Tampa (19 miles). A truly unique opportunity to create your waterfront dream estate. The flexible layout includes a spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace and French doors to the family room and kitchen. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, and overlooks the family room and adjacent dining/sunroom with a wall of glass doors. One of the three downstairs bedrooms is a second primary suite with French doors to the sunroom and features an ensuite bath with a spacious vanity and tub/shower combo. Upstairs, a grand entry framed by pillars leads to the primary bedroom featuring hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, a private Juliet balcony, and sunrise views. The primary bath includes dual vanities, a soaking tub, tile floors, and a large walk-in shower. The fifth bedroom is also upstairs and is an ideal flex space—perfect as an office, den, or media room. Step out of one of the many glass sliders to a pool and patio area ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Complete with a screen-enclosed pool, covered seating area, koi pond, and tranquil waterfall, this outdoor retreat is all set against the serene backdrop of Old Tampa Bay.
