Living on historic Church Avenue in Downtown Dade City means more than just purchasing a new home; it is an experience filled with the sounds of church bells ringing, community events including Church Street Christmas, and strolls down the sidewalk-lined brick streets to local restaurants, shops, and entertainment. For the first time ever, this 2-story, 5-bedroom, 4-bath pool home resting on .74 acres is available for a new family. Mature trees canopy over the front yard welcoming you to this beautiful statement entryway with lovely landscaping, 2 story columns, a brick patio, and an intricately trimmed front door. This home is the perfect blend of historic charm and modern amenities. It features both dedicated formal rooms and expansive open spaces that are ideal for entertaining. Choose from several interior common areas to host guests, including the formal living room, a pool/recreation room that opens to the pool deck through a wall of decorative sliding doors, a spacious 2nd-floor loft, and the family room featuring built-in shelving, a brick faced propane fireplace, kitchen views, and access to both the screened porch and the courtyard. The heart of this home is the exquisite 15x25 kitchen. Set near the formal dining room and butler’s pantry, this luxury kitchen with a vintage feel offers well-maintained original wood cabinetry, brick accented walls, ample built-in storage, granite countertops, enough space for a 10-person central dining table, and new appliances including 2 refrigerators, a double built-in oven, dishwasher, cooktop, and a beverage refrigerator. This home provides a superb bedroom layout. On the first floor, a guest suite with large sleeping quarters, a full bathroom, and a closet awaits. Upstairs, bedrooms 2 and 3 are generously sized and share a full Jack and Jill bathroom in between. The 4th bedroom is currently used as an office. It shares a full bathroom with the loft and it shares the covered pool balcony with the primary bedroom. Luxury, in every sense of the word, emulates from the primary suite. It has a 17x17 bedroom with a private courtyard balcony, an expansive walk-in closet with a seating area and pool balcony access, and a spa-like ensuite bathroom. Entering through double doors, this bathroom provides a custom 2-sink vanity, a walk-in shower, and a tile-surrounded soaking tub. This home has hosted family and friend gatherings for generations. The grounds outside have been carefully manicured and maintained to provide a private brick-paved courtyard, ample lush yard space, and a stunning newly resurfaced pool deck surrounding the 9ft deep L-shaped sparkling swimming pool. Perfectly placed lighting turns this backyard into a magical oasis. Several upgrades have been completed for the new owner’s convenience, including a new roof, new interior paint, updated electrical, updated plumbing, new appliances, a newer water heater, and a new pool pump. Architectural and intricate design features include crown molding, wood flooring, built-in shelving and storage, brick accents, decorative wallpaper, beautiful trim work, and so much more.
