1762 EMERALD DR Clearwater, FL 33756

This spacious and bright 1,600-sf home in the Mid-Century Modern neighborhood of Emerald Hill Estates is not only a great space for entertaining, it's just minutes from Clearwater's world-famous beach, top-tier shopping, art galleries and museums, and Tampa Bay's amazing sports teams.

Built as a model home by Arthur Rutenberg in 1959, the two-bedroom, three-bathroom house has an easy, open flow. Its gleaming terrazzo floors run throughout the house, from a section of the oversize two-car garage to the living room, dining room, family room and out to the screened lanai with its beautiful tiled floors. The updated galley kitchen features quartz countertops, freshly painted solid-mahogany cabinets, excellent appliances and a spacious pass-thru/dining bar.

The home's two bedrooms are designed for maximum floor space and closet use, and the hall is loaded with three extra-large closets. As you enter the master bedroom you will be delighted to find that it boasts his-and-hers closets and an efficient en suite bathroom with updated cabinetry, a mirrored vanity, quartz countertop and a glass shower door. The large second bathroom features custom cabinetry, a triple-mirror vanity and a spacious ceiling-to-floor linen closet.
The graceful circular driveway accommodates plenty of guests, and the new windows, plantation shutters and Venetian blinds invoke the home's coastal warmth with just a touch of vintage Florida. Not to be overlooked, this home's 60-foot elevation provides plenty of security during Florida's busy rainy season, and its 2020 AC will provide cooling and heating comfort for years to come.
