2261 HIDDEN MEADOWS DRIVE E

Under contract-accepting backup offers. A Palm Harbor gem situated under the majestic oak trees! Welcome to Hidden Meadows, an exclusive circle of just 77 homes, located in the prime school zone and easy access to Belcher as well as the front entrance that empties out near the Palm Harbor Library and J. Stephen Putnam Park, home to a playground, baseball field, tennis courts, and soccer fields. Enjoy the architectural details of the Craftsman-style entry, hurricane-rated front door (2021), setting this home apart from the others. Beautiful floorplan offers separate living and dining areas just after you enter the front door. This modernized living area has vaulted ceilings which feature white-washed shiplap detail, upgraded lighting fixtures, and custom plantation shutters (2022). Continue through the home to the spacious kitchen with stylish details such as glass-tile backsplash, granite countertops with bullnose edges, GE black slate appliances, Kraftmaid maple cabinetry featuring deep drawers for pots and pans, pantry, lazy Susan, and frosted decorative glass fronts for accent. Serve meals or entertain at parties on the extra-large breakfast bar which spills over to the family room. The focal point of the room is a slate hearth surrounding a wood-burning fireplace with rustic built-ins on both sides. This room is the perfect gathering space! Exit to the expansive, pavered patio/pool deck where you will enjoy a large, covered area underneath the shaded portion of the lanai that has French drains and ceiling fans, soak up the sun on the other side of the pool deck, or even enjoy full sunlight or comfortable evenings on the side patio, under the trees. Relax to the sound of the waterfall feature in the beautiful in-ground pool, surrounded by lush landscaping or shower under the stars in your private outdoor shower! Another set of sliders lead to the primary suite, large enough for a King-sized bed and walk-in closet. Both bathrooms have been renovated with newer vanities, granite counters, and tiled showers. The second bath is the perfect spot to enjoy a true spa-like, oversized, Whirlpool tub with touch control and LED lighting! Entire home is finished with Simonton double-hung, impact resistant storm breaker windows and tempered glass, insulated sliding doors, and impact resistant garage door- save on those insurance rates! Hurricane season won't scare these new owners! Not in a flood zone, high and dry, and propane-powered gas generator (2023) all add for extra piece of mind should the storms even try to come into our area. Metal roof will last for many years to come! Minutes from downtown Palm Harbor, Honeymoon Island State Park and Beach, Pinellas Trail, shopping, theater, eateries and medical facilities. NO HOA makes this a rare opportunity to own your piece of privacy, right in the heart of one of the most desireable, north pinellas county neighborhoods.
