Nestled beneath shady oaks in Rustic Oaks, one of Palm Harbor’s most cherished neighborhoods, this lovingly updated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom pool home offers warmth, character, and a lifestyle worth slowing down for. With no HOA and zoning for top-rated schools, it’s a rare find where charm and convenience meet. Every detail in this home has been thoughtfully chosen—from the rich hand-scraped oak luxury laminate plank floors to the elegant crown molding and 5¼" baseboards that give each room a polished, timeless feel. The split floor plan offers both comfort and privacy, perfect for everyday living or hosting friends and family. The gourmet kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful, with custom made cabinetry, stainless steel GE appliances, pull-out drawers, a lazy Susan, and a breakfast bar that adds a touch of convenience and elegance. The kitchen flows into light-filled living and dining areas where panoramic French doors lead to your screened-in pool and covered patio—a backyard made for birthdays, BBQs, and quiet mornings with coffee in hand. The primary suite is a true retreat with French doors that open to the pool, a customized walk-in closet, and a spa-like ensuite bathroom featuring floor-to-ceiling travertine, quartz countertops, and a peaceful, modern, and elevated design. Additional highlights include a new HVAC (2020), newly updated bathrooms, a two-car garage, a versatile mudroom/pantry space, and a storage shed for all your extras. The fully fenced backyard adds just the right touch of privacy and freedom—perfect for get togethers, pets, or that garden you’ve been dreaming of. And the location? It’s everything.
