***Own a Piece of New Port Richey History!*** Nestled under the trees on a beautiful corner lot, just steps from the Cotee River, 5522 Carlton Road was the first home built in Jasmine Point Estates in 1970. The original owner lived here until 2020, and the home's rich history includes a blessing by Rev. Ralph W Acree at a special event in 1970. Notably, former Apollo 15 Astronaut James B. Irwin was a frequent overnight guest! As you enter this amazing home, designed by an architect closely associated with the Terre Verde Development, you'll notice outstanding details. In the living room, just to the right of the entrance foyer, you're drawn to a beautiful built-in bookcase designed and built by a custom organ cabinet craftsman in Tampa. From the large living room, move into the dining room. Take a left through the swinging door, and you'll find yourself in the updated kitchen and breakfast nook overlooking the pool. Just off the kitchen is the spacious family room featuring a wood-burning fireplace with hand-selected Red River Ripple Stone from Texas. The home features 4 bedrooms, 3 of which have en-suite bathrooms. One bedroom is currently used as an office. On the far right side of the home, just off the kitchen, is an oversized laundry room with ample cabinets and a sink, a nice-sized mudroom, and a 4th bathroom. The oversized 2-car side-entry garage, located off the laundry room, includes a workshop. The current owners have added a large screened and heated pool in 2021. French doors take you from the family room to the covered patio and pool. A waterfall adds a touch of whimsy to the backyard, where you can enjoy beautiful Florida evenings around the firepit. Exterior lighting enhances your backyard experiences, and two wells provide irrigation for the .45-acre yard. Updates include a new roof installed in 2020, a new electric panel, a new well pump in 2023, and luxury vinyl flooring throughout the home. The HVAC systems are between 8 and 10 years new. Live your best life just minutes from everything downtown New Port Richey and the surrounding area have to offer. A trip to Tampa airport is a breeze via the Suncoast Parkway. Beaches, nightlife, and more are just minutes away from this amazing home! Schedule your private showing right away!
