1238 flotilla drive

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. It's million-dollar water views on your own private peninsula! Surrounded on 3 sides by the Anclote River, this executive manse sits on a cul-de-sac in Holiday. Mossy oaks dot the 1.18 acre lot, with a driveway widening into a large turnaround in front of the oversized 3-car garage. Arched openings and a tile roof are evocative of Spanish & Mediterranean design. That theme continues with beamed ceilings; stone, wood, & brick accents; and tile flooring in the living areas. On one side of the L-shaped floor plan, a sunken formal living room is prime entertainment space; a dual set of glass sliding doors offers glimpses of the courtyard. Be our guest and enjoy the library with built-in shelving. There's also a built-in desk and a large closet, making it a contender for a 7th bedroom. Plus, there's a half-bath just outside for convenience. On the other side of the living room, you'll find a cozy sitting area/family room. The galley kitchen has an abundance of counter & cabinet space. Cooks will adore the gas range with a double oven & griddle. Host intimate meals or dinner parties in the adjacent dining room, and pair each course with vino pulled from the temperature-controlled wine cellar. The full bathroom on the ground floor is nothing short of spa-like with dual sinks, a full sauna, Jacuzzi tub, and a jetted shower head with rainfall feature. At the rear of this wing, there's a grand flex space that could be turned into anything: a media room, game room, lounge... It's equipped with a wet bar and a stunning wood-burning brick fireplace. There are 2 primary bedroom suites; they are accessible via 2 separate staircases. The suite above the library boasts a massive walk-in closet with custom shelving. The bathroom is segmented into 2 parts and has both a standalone shower and a tub/shower combo. A private covered deck showcases incredible views of the pool & river, and has stairs leading down to the courtyard below. Just off the kitchen, the 2nd staircase leads to the rest of the bedrooms, which includes the other primary suite. This expansive bedroom features double walk-in closets, and a sumptuous attached bath with dual sinks and a soaking tub. Catch some rays or an amazing sunset from the private open balcony with decorative railing. An additional ensuite bedroom has double closets. The remaining 2 guest bedrooms share a full bathroom. All bedrooms have laminate flooring, and 12 of the upstairs windows were replaced in 2022. Did you say pool party? Because this home is perfect for outdoor leisure! Swim in the pool or relax in the spa; they're heated for year-round use. Lounge under the shady lanai or dine al fresco right beside the water in the gazebo. You might even see the dolphins that frequent this part of the river! Restore the former tennis court, or transform it into a parking pad for your RV or boat. There are no HOA fees/restrictions to deal with in this neighborhood, and it's only minutes away from the famous Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks. Less than 30 minutes gets you to Howard Park Beach or Sunset Beach in Tarpon Springs. Nearby US-19 provides easy access to New Port Richey, Spring Hill, Clearwater, & St. Pete. With the right vision & a little love, this residence could be your ultimate waterfront oasis, or a premier destination for short-term renters. Seize the opportunity to make this extraordinary property yours!
