Welcome to Heron House, a century-old 4BR/3BA, 3,604 Sq. Ft. masterpiece with a newly constructed 2 BR/1BA, 1,135 Sq. Ft. carriage house, nestled in the heart of sought-after Dunedin, where history and modern luxury converge. Meticulously renovated to preserve its timeless charm in 2015, this historic home offers unmatched tranquil water views across St. Joseph’s Sound, stretching westward toward the untouched beauty of Caladesi Island, a gem on the Gulf Coast accessible only by boat. With 100 feet of pristine water frontage, the vistas remain as serene as they were 100 years ago when the home served as a luxurious winter retreat for its northern owners. Inside, the versatile floor plan unfolds with a white dine-in kitchen featuring custom shaker-style cabinetry with matching refrigerator and freezer, Cambria countertops and top-of-the-line stainless steel Wolf appliances with natural gas. The spacious family room, bathed in natural light, boasts a cozy fireplace and French doors that open to an expansive screened porch, pool and heated spa, as well as a natural gas firepit—perfect for year-round enjoyment and endless sunset views. Upstairs, period moldings and heart pine floors lead to the primary suite, where French doors open to a sprawling 1,100 sq. ft. balcony overlooking the tranquil park-like setting. The main suite includes a cozy fireplace, a spacious ensuite bath with a double sink vanity, a walk-in shower, a convenient washer/dryer, and a generous walk-in closet with custom built-ins. Additional bedrooms and bathrooms are equally well-appointed and beautifully renovated. Beyond the main house, a recently constructed carriage house adds to the property’s allure, offering a three-car garage (plenty of room for your golf cart) and an elevator leading to a second-floor water-view apartment, engineered to the most stringent waterfront building codes, yet to a design that harmonizes with the older main home. The property is a haven for boating and fishing enthusiasts, featuring a TREX dock complete with two jet-ski lifts and a 9,000-pound boat lift, providing direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulf of Mexico.Ideally located across the street from the Pinellas Trail and just north of waterfront Weaver Park, Heron House is a short golf cart ride from downtown Dunedin, where local breweries, charming restaurants, and hand-painted storefronts await. As Southern Living magazine noted in 2023, Dunedin remains delightfully “uncharted,” where first-name greetings are the norm, and a sense of history is woven into the fabric of everyday life. With proximity to Tampa International and St. Petersburg Airports, Heron House is not just a home but a gateway to creating your own cherished memories in a town that celebrates the past while embracing the future.
