415 INDIAN ROCKS RD S

BELLEAIR BLUFFS ONE ACRE GATED ESTATE, known to the locals as “The Groves”, is a unique, once in a lifetime opportunity, that simply can’t be matched. Beyond the private gated entry you are greeted by a beautiful drive-thru portico, a manicured tropical jungle designed by a professional landscape artist, and the rare monstrously-large banyan tree that provides unfathomable raw beauty far above the clouds. This 1+ acre oasis is adorned with original brick walkways, three separate porches, tiki hut, private art studio, crushed shell beach, lime rock fire pit, lighted walking trails, and oversized detached garage complimented with a man-cave and ½ bath. Step inside this true historical survivor; from the original solid wood doors and intricate hardware, to detailed finish moldings and wood beams, the charm of old Florida matched with modern day amenities surrounds you throughout this great space. The kitchen’s unique design and workmanship sets it several notches above your average open-concept layout. The use of Travertine tiles, Chambers commercial gas cooktop, Carrera marble backsplash, original concrete farmhouse sink, professionally hand-painted cabinets, and the over-powering presence of the hand-crafted, walk-in brick fireplace create a perfect gathering place for friends and family alike. Large picture windows line the open dining room that seems to draw you into your reinvented living room with built-in shelving intricately crafted from original reclaimed wood. The tastefully designed first-floor owners retreat is complete with private sitting area, original hardwood floors, wood accented ceilings, triple-head shower, clawfoot tub, private patio, and massive walk-in closet with cedar ceilings. A newly-revived upstairs includes two bedrooms, full bathroom, wet bar, office nook, and quiet reading area that allows one to delve into a good mystery novel -obviously set in the tropics. No HOA or deed restrictions here, bring your boats (1 mile to boat ramp), RVs, and toys! Best of all is the close proximity to, not only the great restaurants, fine shopping and grocery stores easily within walking distance, but the raw, contagious alluring Gulf of Mexico and its unforgettable sunsets only two miles away.
