311 N PRESCOTT AVE Clearwater, FL 33755

Do you have a passion for preservation? This charming 1927 Victorian 3/2 located in the desirable Country Club Addition neighborhood is loaded with original details to delight a new owner excited about restoring a vintage slice of Florida. Strategically priced for restoration, neighboring properties have sold well above $500K. Situated at 32' above sea level, this 1616sf home is in a non-evacuation zone and does not require flood insurance. An abundance of natural light, high ceilings, and original (level and sturdy) heart of pine floors spark the imagination, while a full attic and detached garage boast possibility. A vintage herringbone brick walkway leads to original doors, double hung wood frame and casement windows, antique light fixtures, beadboard ceilings, and the Florida room/office floor even has the original stenciled painting which was preserved when the rear porch was enclosed.
Located one block from the Clearwater Country Club, near downtown, and just minutes from the water, this quiet spot is close to all of the Gulf Coast's attractions.
2003 roof has transferrable warranty and while plumbing supply lines and electrical have been updated, there is a fair amount of work to be done. Dining room has surface mold, possibly in connection to an old leak from the kitchen which has been repaired. Exterior needs tenting, restoration and sealing including windows, trim and stucco. The garage which used to also contain an in-law apartment is in very poor condition. There are interior plaster repairs required. The compressor (for upstairs) of the dual-zoned central air system is not working. There is no staircase to the attic, but a platform with a ladder was installed as a temporary workaround. Creative individuals will be able to see past the deferred maintenance to the good bones of a stunning property. Cash or renovation loans only. PRIVATE PROPERTY, PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL AND DO NOT ENTER THE PROPERTY WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT. Bedroom Closet Type: Built In Closet (Bedroom 2).
