1022 Lake Avoca Dr., Tarpon Springs, FL 34689

There is nothing more soothing and calming than watching a gorgeous sunset over the Gulf of Mexico, particularly when you are enjoying it from your own home - outside from the back porch or inside from the huge picture windows of your living room. This Point Alexis residence in Tarpon Springs allows you to get the same vistas from your master bedroom or one of your guest bedrooms. Completely renovated recently, this home is part of an HOA where lawn care is included in your fees, as are a lap pool, tennis and pickleball courts, kayak launch and fitness center. What’s even better about this three-bedroom/two-bath home is that the owner’s retreat comes with its own en-suite bath and is separated by the living room from the guest wing. One of these bedrooms could make a perfect family room or home office, with its screened-in porch and gorgeous view. The kitchen, with granite countertops, is large enough for a breakfast nook and provides direct access to the two-car garage. All of this splendor is just minutes away from some of Florida’s best beaches and all the dining and shopping of Tarpon Spring’s historic downtown.
