205 HIGHLAND WOODS DR Safety Harbor, FL 34695

If you think you've seen this Safety Harbor beauty, take another look! Taken off-market for quarantine, the owner decided to give an already pretty girl a makeover that will make you stop in your tracks and turn heads! Gone are the "aged" honey oak cabinets, floors and bannister - showing off in their place are trendy refinished white cabinets with gleaming new hardware, waterproof espresso floors with a refinished bannister and steps to match! Helloooo 2020 style trends your friends and family will envy! Also while off-market, the owner went through our pre-listing inspection and did every single item on it - this home is 4-point insurance ready, safety items secured, and THEN SOME! Your new home is in a desirable gated community with friendly neighbors a stone's throw from Phillippe Park and near downtown with the Spa, pier, shops and restaurants waiting - a town so charming Hallmark even made a movie here! The front entry greets you with soaring cathedral ceilings (new 15-year LED "outdoor bright" bulbs installed) in an open floorplan. As you walk in, open the french doors to the den - a perfect home office now that you're working from home, or a playroom, man cave or even convert to a 5th bedroom! The large formal dining room has a handy butler's pantry-like entry into that impressively upgraded kitchen open to the living space. A chef's dream with yards of gleaming granite counters, loads of real-wood cabinetry, double ovens, a warmer hood over the cooktop & newer appliances! A unique corner "keeping room" w a built-in storage bench window seating can be either an additional sitting area, or a cozy breakfast nook. The living space soars and features a brick wood-burning fireplace, built-ins and plant shelves. A side entry off the living room brings you into the private oasis of the master on main. Relax in the garden tub, utilize separate vanities and don't miss the enormous walk-in closet! Wait, have we talked about the pool/spa area? Outdoor living is showstopping - freshly power-washed and newly screened with 99% UV screens, plus shade blinds for the setting afternoon sun, you won't lack for seating space and year-round fun. Oh, and the sweet playhouse the owner built himself as well! Upstairs, the loft built-in desk is another perfect home office space necessary for so many of us working from home and/or e-schooling now - PLUS this comes w/ a Murphy bed! Rounding out the upstairs is a large guest bedroom with ensuite bath, plus two large bedrooms sharing a jack-n-jill bath. Storage, storage, storage! All bedrooms feature walk-in closets, upstairs is an enormous storage closet, and in the garage is under-stair storage that rivals a storage unit! Upgraded, pre-inspected and all repairs made, a new roof, new AC, freshly painted, power-washed, deep cleaned - this house is dreaming of being your home!
