About this home
1721 GULF ROAD
One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Tarpon Springs Coastal Estate Tucked away on nearly 2.5 private acres near Sunset Beach, this rare waterfront estate captures the essence of Florida living — private, expansive, and built for a true coastal lifestyle. With approximately 150 feet of Gulf waterfront, this is the kind of property that’s becoming increasingly hard to find in Pinellas County. Launch kayaks right from your backyard from your covered boathouse, explore winding coastal waterways, or bring in a flats boat on high tide. Just minutes away, the Sunset Beach boat ramp offers effortless access to the Gulf, creating the perfect setting for boating, fishing, and everyday waterfront living. Inside, the home spans a spacious layout with soaring vaulted ceilings and natural light pouring in through skylights, creating an open, airy feel throughout. The main living areas are designed for both comfort and entertaining, anchored by a large family room that flows seamlessly to a covered back porch overlooking the pool and stretching out toward Gulf-facing views — where evenings are best spent entertaining as the sun sets and dolphins play just beyond your backyard. The residence features 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, including two primary suites, each complete with walk-in closets and private en-suite bathrooms — ideal for multi-generational living, hosting guests, or creating a true owner’s retreat. Additional bedrooms are generously sized, offering comfort and flexibility for family and visitors alike. A dedicated office/flex space provides the perfect setup for working from home, a gym, or creative studio, while a large laundry room adds everyday convenience. The kitchen is ready to be transformed into a true showpiece — envision a beautifully designed chef’s space overlooking tranquil water views, complete with a dedicated gas range, double ovens, and an expansive layout built for gathering and entertaining. Major improvements have already been completed, including all new HVAC systems in 2025, updated LED lighting throughout, new drywall, and fresh interior and exterior paint — offering a clean, solid, and well-maintained canvas ready for your vision and personal touch. A metal roof, resort-style pool, and detached 3-car garage add both durability and versatility to the property. Designed by locally recognized Hoffman Architects in 2007, the home carries strong architectural bones and character, making it an ideal foundation for a custom luxury transformation. Located in a golf cart–friendly community, you’re just a short ride to downtown Tarpon Springs, where local shops, restaurants, bars, and the world-famous Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks create a vibrant coastal lifestyle unlike anywhere else. Properties like this don’t come around often — private acreage, waterfront access, and unlimited potential all in one of the Gulf Coast’s most unique coastal settings. ***Zoned RM – Residential Multi-Family District.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
