38 Acacia St., Clearwater, FL 33767

On the market for the first time in thirty-nine years, this home was built when Clearwater Beach was still an island. Constructed in the north part of the county then put on a barge and brought down the Intracoastal Waterway, it was placed on blocks in the northern residential section of the beach. Located between the Gulf of Mexico and the Mandalay Channel with access to both just blocks away. The owners of this home and their guests enjoy them often. A driveway at the back of the property has plenty of space and leads to a garage. Next to the driveway, a gate opens onto a block path that leads to the deck by the back door. The foyer has a closet containing a stackable washer and dryer, so convenient not to take sandy towels through the house. To the left is the kitchen with many wood cabinets and drawers. A window over the sink facing east lets in the morning light. Another window faces the back deck with room for a bistro table. A gas stove is great to cook on, even if the electricity goes out. The dining room opens to the living room and has built-in cabinet and shelves. Two windows face the yard. A fireplace, mantel and rock chimney are at the end of the living room. Wood beams draw your eye to the high ceilings. A large sunroom runs the length of the living room. On the other side of the living, a door opens into a hall with large bedrooms at both ends, one at the front of the house and one in the middle. A large linen closet and full bathroom are between these bedrooms. The middle bedroom has doors on both sides, one opens next to the bathroom, the other opens by a bedroom used as an office and a hallway to the kitchen. A fourth bedroom with a walk-in closet and a private bathroom is at the back of the home, equaling a spacious master or guest suite. Don't miss this opportunity to own this historical beach house. No car is required. The Jolley Trolley goes by the front, wave them down as needed, they will stop. One can travel around the beach and county, visiting stores and restaurants, relaxing while they drive. The city's Clearwater Beach Recreation Center is just a half mile away with a pool, library, activities, tennis, pickleball and basketball courts. A public boat ramp is right next to it with docks around the corner. Save the expense of a dock, lift and seawall. Make it your own beach cottage. Rent it to others to enjoy. Or both. Hurry before someone else makes it theirs!
