Harbor Isles, located between the Pithlachascotee River and the Gulf of Mexico, is a waterfront and residential Port Richey neighborhood with canal-lined streets and private docks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the U.S. 19 and Ridge Road corridor, where marinas, bait-and-tackle counters, and low-key waterfront bars set a salt-air tempo. Housing leans Florida ranches and elevated coastal builds, many oriented to boat lifts and wide water views. Days track tides: kayaks in the river, small craft heading out to open water, and sunset watching from seawalls. Nearby, Whiskey Joe’s Bar & Grill, Gill Dawg Tiki Bar & Grill, and the Richey Suncoast Theatre act as familiar local anchors.

The architecture of this house is GORGEOUS with stone wall construction & a roof that looks to be in very good shape. The GRAND front entrance feels like you are entering a RESORT LODGE featuring double doors, hexagonal tiled floor, wood plank ceiling on the covered porch & STATELY columns. Once inside, the long foyer with hall closet connects the different rooms of the house. The OPEN FLOOR PLAN consists of the foyer, kitchen, dinette, dining, living & Florida rooms.
