Half-Acre Coastal Living with Private Guest Residence Near Sunset Beach Opportunities like this are rare in Tarpon Springs — a private half-acre property just moments from Sunset Beach, offering not only space and coastal proximity, but the added luxury of a fully detached in-law residence. Set at 13 feet above sea level with no flood insurance required, this estate combines peace of mind with flexibility, making it ideal for multigenerational living, private guest accommodations, or future income potential. The main home is thoughtfully designed with five bedrooms and four baths, offering a comfortable balance of openness and defined living spaces. Formal living and dining rooms provide an elegant setting for entertaining, while the expansive great room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, invites everyday relaxation. Natural light fills the home, enhancing its warm and welcoming atmosphere. At the heart of the residence, the kitchen was tastefully remodeled in 2021 with natural quartzite countertops, an oversized island, and modern finishes that bring both beauty and functionality to daily living. Luxury vinyl plank flooring flows throughout the main level, creating a seamless and polished feel. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with a recently remodeled bath (2025) and access to a full-width balcony overlooking the illuminated pool and backyard — a peaceful setting that enhances the home’s connection to its outdoor surroundings. What truly sets this property apart is the fully detached guest house. With its own private entrance, kitchen, living area, bedroom, and bath, it offers independence while remaining connected to the main residence. Whether used for extended family, long-term guests, or as an income-producing space, it adds a layer of versatility rarely found so close to the beach. The outdoor environment reflects the same sense of privacy and possibility. A resort-style pool with LED lighting serves as the centerpiece of the backyard, while the covered lanai and surrounding privacy wall create an inviting space for both quiet evenings and larger gatherings. The expansive driveway also allows for boat or RV parking — an ideal complement to the coastal lifestyle. Located within walking distance to Sunset Beach and near a local boat launch & 3 schools this home offers the unique combination of land, location, and flexibility — a distinctive opportunity in one of Tarpon Springs’ most desirable settings.
