The Ozona Oasis is a historic one-of-a-kind pool home that can now be your lush tropical shangri-la! From your first step inside you will see that this handsome residence is brimming with old Florida charm. However, let's remain outside for now because it is the setting that makes this home so unique. The heavily wooded property is on an extremely rare ONE-ACRE LOT in Ozona with a detached 2car garage with an additional golf car stall plus storage shed and is the epitome of privacy! Got Kids? Pets? There is plenty of secure, fenced-in hidden backyard space to park your boat, RV or trade vehicle. No deed restrictions and No Flood Zone! This private paradise is host to many species of palms, shady grandfather oak trees and countless colorful and fascinating tropical plants. Shell pathways and outdoor lighting provide access and an irrigation system that includes drip irrigation keeps everything green and happy around the oversized pool and spacious brick paved deck. There is even a garden area for your home-grown endeavors. Close to 5-star schools - elementary through high school and this quiet seaside community allows golf cart access to the popular and trendy restaurants, marinas and shops that are off the beaten path but only blocks away from the Gulf of Mexico. If that were not enough you are only one block away from the Pinellas Trail and its miles of well-maintained running and biking trail. Ready to go inside yet? Inside this home you will find an eclectic and fascinating balance of historic and contemporary features that define comfortable Florida living. Most of the rich original wood flooring remains. Quartz countertops with subway tiles adorn the modern kitchen. The master bedroom suite is on the ground floor and has soaring 16' vaulted ceilings, a huge walk-in closet and updated en suite bathroom with a spacious shower. Adjacent to the master suite is a screened in lanai with a mirror image vaulted ceiling. It is just one of the several splendid areas of this home to enjoy some quiet time, a good book, a cup of coffee and some beautiful music from the stereo speakers wired in. There are additional bedrooms, and multi-use rooms downstairs along with a window lined formal living room that features a classic wood-burning fireplace. A gorgeous classic wood staircase takes us upstairs. The 2nd floor Mother-in-law apartment has been used as a very successful short-term rental. Very well maintained with lots of privacy. Nothing else like it anywhere! The second floor suite has a nice living room, two bedrooms and a bathroom and all is accessible from an alternate exterior stairway. You will likely spend lots of time on the upper deck. Enjoy the virtual tour and aerial drone tour (virtual tour #2) but nothing does justice to this property better than your personal viewing. Serious, qualified inquiries only please.
