This updated 3-bed, 2-bath home with a detached 1/1 ADU with kitchette, is situated in the highly sought-after Dunedin Isles, a beloved golf-cart community just 1.5 miles from downtown Dunedin, 1.2 miles to the causeway entrance and less than a block from the Pinellas Trail.
Upon entering, you’ll find the home was thoughtfully updated in 2024 with 500sf+ of additional living space, including a vaulted great room that house the bright dining, kitchen and living areas.
The dream kitchen has new shaker cabinets, stylish backsplash, quartzite countertops, double-oven range, microwave drawer and recessed lighting. An expansive 11-foot island seats six people, in addition to a banquette dining space with in-seat storage. The living area has a ceiling fan and is framed by large hurricane-rated windows that overlook the backyard and Hammock Park, a beloved 90-acre nature preserve.
The primary suite features custom closet built-ins and a spa-inspired bath with a large vanity and quartzite counter and a glass-enclosed shower with a bench and double shower heads. Bedrooms two and three offer closets with organizers, with a linen closet in between that has a vacuum-charging station. The hallway bath glimmers with stylish tile, gold accents, glass-enclosed shower and quartzite-topped vanity.
A flex space connecting to the laundry room and one-car garage has heavy-duty wall hooks, citrus wallpaper accent walls, and built-in white cabinets with a butcher block counter that serves as a drop zone.
Step outside to an extra-large driveway accommodating three vehicles in addition to a 50-foot gated area for RV, boat or golf cart parking, complete with 30-amp hookup.
Behind the main home is the detached cottage, offering a kitchenette with granite counters, sink, refrigerator, apartment-sized range and microwave. The cottage also has a large walk-in closet, a seating area and a full bathroom. This is perfect for guests or offers income-producing potential with a minimum 90-day lease (buyer should confirm local zoning).
The backyard is a fully fenced sanctuary with a gate that exits directly to the beauty of Hammock Park, including 5 miles of scenic trails, abundant wildlife, a butterfly garden, kayak launch, and shaded paths for hiking and biking.
The backyard also includes a sparkling saltwater pool and an 8×12 storage shed, providing extra space for your tools and gear.
Major updates in 2024 include all-new roof, hurricane-rated windows, appliances, HVAC, water heater, and paint—all offering peace of mind and move-in readiness.
This delightful home is close to the city’s main recreation center with gym, pickleball and tennis courts; the Dunedin Fine Arts Center; the historic Dunedin Golf Club; and the Highlander Park Aquatic Complex, which is in line to get a multi-million dollar upgrade. Don’t miss out on your opportunity to live the unmatched Florida lifestyle in this beautiful home.
