Welcome to 709 Bruce Avenue, a fun, funky beach cottage tucked away behind the fishtail palms that brings the island attitude and lifestyle in through the door and throughout the house. The bright and colorful interior makes you feel like every day is a vacation day. With a newer premium metal roof, hurricane door and windows, plumbing, electrical, Hardie siding, plantation shutters, landscaping and A/C, this house is fully remodeled inside and out. The second bathroom was updated in 2020 and the main bath was updated this year. The kitchen was also remodeled this year with a design inspired by Milestone Kitchens in South Africa. During the cooler months, the wood burning fireplace is perfect for a cozy night with your favorite beverage. With a split floor plan, the master bedroom and first full bath are seated at the front of the house, with the second bedroom and full bath at the back. There is parking for up to four cars and mature foliage surrounding the house to afford privacy to enjoy your time by the fire pit or on the patio. The neighborhood association is very active with pub crawls, holiday bike parades, picnics, and parties as well as civic minded activities like beach clean ups etc. The powdery sands of world renowned Clearwater Beach are a short stroll away. You can embrace the quiet calm of north beach among the dunes or enjoy activities like beach volleyball just up the beach, the nightly sunset celebrations at the pier, and the countless restaurants and retail shops. Take advantage of the interconnected trail system that connects you off the street to Dunedin, St Pete, Tarpon Springs and even Tampa on your bike. After that day at the beach or a bike ride for lunch in Dunedin, shower in your hot and cold water outdoor shower. Make this your dream beach home today! The furniture is available for purchase as well.
