About this home

RARE CHANCE to own a beautiful pool home DIRECTLY OVERLOOKING the $6M restored DUNEDIN GOLF COURSE, offering one of its best vistas. The home features large sliding doors opening the house for Al FRESCO living. The lanai offers ample space for entertaining or enjoying your private retreat. With a new pool cage, pump, and filter…RELAX with the oak trees, rolling greens and GULF BREEZE. Layout highlights the golf course views and open-floor plan preserves the integrity of each designated space. GOURMET KITCHEN features custom Amish cabinetry, a large island with quartz countertops, and eat-in area. Cabinets offer deep drawer storage, pull-out shelves, glass doors, and decorative lighting. A separate DINING ROOM seats 12 with space for a buffet and hutch. Bathrooms- fully remodeled with new tile, glass doors, fixtures, and built-in storage. Bedrooms have generous windows and closets.

Recent 4 Pt Inspection confirms 2011 HVAC is in good working order. What I love about this TURNKEY home: sea breeze, natural light, built-in storage, low maintenance, irrigation system, voluntary HOA, and NO FLOOD INSURANCE. The quiet, neighborhood has mature trees, a lake, and a park. This home has been well-maintained over the years, and updates include quality materials. Just minutes from charming downtown Dunedin and 1 mile from the Gulf. Neighborhood provides direct access to the Pinellas Trail; ride to the Dunedin Causeway, Honeymoon Island and Caladesi State Park. Dunedin is also a golf cart community.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
