The shady oak on this corner lot was here long before the 1925 bungalow behind it, and by late afternoon the whole yard sits in its shade. This three bedroom, one bath Clearwater home in Oakland Heights is sold as-is to a buyer who would rather build the value themselves and bring every finish in line with their own vision. Inside is a spacious, well appointed open floor plan, with the living area running into the kitchen and family room combination and a separate dining room alongside it, all on one level and with a brand new HVAC replaced in 2024. The spacious and fully fenced corner lot does more work than most at this price. A gate in the fence gives you drive-in access for a boat, an RV, or work equipment, which is not easy to find this close to downtown. Behind the house there is a wide wood deck under the oaks, a storage shed, and a second detached building with its own private entrance. It serves as an office or studio as it stands, and with the right permitting through the City of Clearwater it is a natural candidate for a separate suite, whether that means rental income or room for family. The rest of the yard is open ground for a garden, a playground, or pets, and with no HOA, no minimum lease period, and a Flood Zone X designation, the carrying costs stay predictable whether you hold it or renovate and resell. Clearwater Plaza and Publix sit a few blocks away, close enough that the weekly errands never involve a main road. Ross Norton Recreation Center and Park is a short walk, Belleair Country Club is just south, and Morton Plant Hospital is minutes north. Coachman Park and the BayCare Sound are under three miles, and Clearwater Beach is a straight run west over the Memorial Causeway
