# **PRICE REDUCED: Turnkey Lake Tarpon Waterfront with $300K+ in Updates** This completely renovated waterfront home on Lake Tarpon represents an extraordinary opportunity—priced $20,000 below appraised value with every major system already updated. While others are looking at fixer-uppers or paying premium prices, you can move straight into lakefront luxury with zero projects left to do. **The Numbers That Matter:** - New roof, HVAC, and electrical panel (2021) - Hurricane-rated windows with transferable warranty (2022) - Brand new heated saltwater pool with screen enclosure (2022) - Completely remodeled kitchen and primary bath (2021-2022) - **No HOA fees. No CDD fees. No flood insurance required.** **What This Means for You:** You're getting a essentially new home at a used home price. The current owners have invested over $300,000 in improvements, meaning you can enjoy waterfront living without the typical renovation headaches or surprise expenses that come with older lakefront properties. **Your New Lifestyle Awaits** Picture starting your morning with coffee on your private dock, then cooling off in your heated saltwater pool by afternoon. The open-concept interior flows seamlessly from the gourmet kitchen—complete with custom wood cabinetry, quartz counters, and stainless appliances—to the expansive living area with stunning lake views. The flexible floor plan easily accommodates work-from-home needs, with space that converts from office to third bedroom as your needs change. The oversized screened lanai with new paver flooring extends your living space outdoors, while the smart irrigation system (drawing from the lake) keeps your landscaping beautiful year-round with minimal effort and cost. **Location Advantages You'll Appreciate** Lake Tarpon isn't just beautiful—it's practical. The carefully managed water levels provide flood protection, while your location puts you minutes from downtown Tarpon Springs' charming Sponge Docks, Fred Howard Park's beaches, and endless recreational opportunities. You're close enough to enjoy everything, far enough away to have peace and privacy. **The Reality Check:** Waterfront homes with this level of recent updates rarely come available, especially at below-market pricing. The current owners have done the hard work and heavy lifting—now someone gets to simply enjoy the results. **Ready to stop looking and start living?** *Schedule your showing today and see why this could be the smartest move you make this year.*
