Under contract-accepting backup offers. Incredible price improvement! Open and spacious and chock full of Old Florida charm in the heart of historic Arlington Park! Gorgeous and sprawling for it's kind, this 4 bedroom, 3 bath Florida bungalow was once ubiquitous throughout the sought-after neighborhood of Arlington, but is now becoming a rare GEM. Curb appeal galore, this home has been truly loved by it's current owners and is evident once you drive up. Located on a cul-de-sac, enjoy the peace of a truly quiet, low traffic street with friendly neighbors and lovely homes. This picturesque coastal abode is perfectly nestled under a vast canopy of healthy Live Oaks that have been diligently maintained by a certified Arborist, providing protection, shade and that sought after Gulf Coast aesthetic. A breezy front porch adds that Southern charm so fitting for this cottage under the Oaks. Generous in size and fully screened in, it adds a whole other living space for those that love the sound of birds while having their coffee or enjoy the evening breeze after dinner. After entering the double glass doors, the entire home opens up in front of you. Large spacious rooms in a home like this are hard to come by, but are what define this property. One (of 2!) En-suite Primary bedrooms has an attached bedroom that can be used as a nursery or home office. A kitchen made for gathering, including a proper dining space, opens to an enormous living room, all with gorgeous views of the pool and backyard.
The close proximity to excellent schools, and the incredible restaurants, cafes, and shopping that Southside Village has to offer has made having a golf cart a fun and practical mode of transportation for the current Owners.
Massive updates have been completed on this home, including:
- BRAND NEW PLUMBING SYSTEM, NO CAST IRON! Brand new Impact pocketing sliders now open up the entire back of the home to a STUNNING, pool and spa (2025) along with an incredibly spacious screen enclosure and added room for outdoor kitchen. Entire property has had a recent landscaping overhaul that included a brand new concrete driveway and high-end turf laid throughout the yard (no mowing!). Tons of lush and tropical plants have been thoughtfully installed around the home and provide a gorgeous and verdant, but low maintenance, backdrop to this quintessential "Old Florida" bungalow. BRAND NEW Primary Bathroom with soaking tub, walk in closet and Impact sliders. New Flooring throughout (2022), Whole house water filtration system (2024), Roof (2017) with hurricane straps, added insulation, two A/C units (2017) new ductwork, three new water heaters, interior/exterior paint, lighting fixtures, blinds, hardware, and decorative features. The yard is fully enclosed (2016/2023) with beautiful white vinyl fencing. HUGE well-constructed Storage Shed (2024) for all the toys.
I cannot say enough about this gem of a home, tucked away, in beautiful Arlington Park. If a breezy, charming, unique Florida bungalow is what you're looking for, this is the one.
