Elevated, nearly new construction in the heart of Tarpon Springs - this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom coastal home was built just 6 years ago and thoughtfully raised above the flood zone, offering peace of mind that older homes in the area simply can't match. From the moment you step inside, you'll notice the modern finishes, open layout, and quality craftsmanship of a home built to current Florida code - engineered for durability, energy efficiency, and long-term insurability. The main living level features an open-concept design that flows effortlessly to a spacious covered balcony - the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee, entertain guests, or unwind with Florida's signature Gulf breezes. Below the elevated main floor, you'll find a fully finished efficiency unit with its own private entrance and full kitchenette - a rare bonus space that adds tremendous versatility to the property. While not counted in the home's official living area due to its location within the flood zone, this space has been successfully used as a private guest suite and rental unit, generating meaningful supplemental income for the current owners. Ideal for extended family, visiting guests, a home office, or continued rental use. Located just minutes from historic downtown Tarpon Springs, the world-famous Sponge Docks, Fred Howard Park, Sunset Beach, and the Pinellas Trail, this property offers the best of Florida's Gulf Coast lifestyle - walkable, laid-back, and full of charm. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, seasonal retreat, or an income-producing opportunity, 170 East Spruce Street delivers modern peace of mind in one of Tarpon Springs' most desirable neighborhoods.
