1719 CARDINAL DRIVE

Classic 1959 construction meets modern updates, beautifully blending timeless character with smart modern upgrades offering mid-century charm with today's essential improvements. Many original features yet exist within this home including plaster walls, cabinetry, classic countertops, original built in oven, original period tile, (pink and gray) tub, sink, medicine cabinet in the bathroom, which reflect the craftsmanship of the era, adding character and nostalgia. The original flooring is terrazzo and no other flooring has been placed on top, except bedrooms. It will need some polishing, but how much fun to see its transition! Newer features include a permitted shingle roof, (July 2020) Double Pane windows installed in 2019. In 2009 the septic system drain field and tank were replaced by AA Cut Rate, a long standing Clearwater septic service co. A change out electrical panel fuse to breakers-60 AMP to 100 AMP was permitted in 2017. Hot water heater, 2022. Enjoy a reinforced single overhead garage door with automatic opener. The oversized 14' x 25' garage features open overhead rafters, providing additional space for overhead storage. This ideal location is in the heart of Pinellas County (Clearwater) offering commutes to St. Pete, and west to the finest beaches, north into Pasco County and easy access over the Courtney Campbell Causeway into Tampa! This home has good bones and many updates, though a few areas could use some finishing touches. Don't let the 898 sq. ft. of heated/cooled space fool you-this property delivers a total of 1,597 sq. ft. (floor plan available) offering significantly more useable space than expected. A generous fenced backyard, with 2 gates, provides both privacy and safety-perfect for pets, play and outdoor enjoyment. Shed and open covered patio remain. Note: There is a natural gas meter on the property, however, no gas service is being used at this time. Thank you for touring this home and see the possibilities of making this place your very own!
