2 HOMES IN 1 in Indian Rocks Beach! Looking for a great beach escape to call home or make your home away from home? Longing to own a rental property in a coastal community capable of generating a generous cash flow? Those two very different goals can be fulfilled with this one very special property listing.

Only this exceptional property provides owners with an extremely rare opportunity to own a lovely tri-level home located in a popular beachside community as well as an adjoining residence that can accommodate overnight stays by friends and family members as well as rental guests.

This one-of-a-kind design combines the convenience of a private beach house for your personal pleasure with the financial perks of also owning a revenue-generating rental. While the two homes are within close proximity, they each have separate entrances, individual living areas and independently accessed enclosed garages. In total, together they encompass nearly 4,200 square feet.

Nestled within a residential neighborhood filled with similarly scaled houses, the rooftop deck of the primary residence provides a perfect retreat to escape to and enjoy unimpeded views of the Gulf of Mexico and Indian Rocks Beach. No nearby high-rises to cutter or obstruct the views.

Pavers line the driveway to the oversized garage of this home, the larger of the two, which has room for 2 1/2 cars. That allows adequate space for a golf cart for those close-to-home excursions. Perfect for entertaining, the spacious patio is bordered by a privacy fence that adds to the serenity of this inviting area.

The double door entry found on the ground level, next to the garage, accesses an area suitable for use as an office, a gym or a combination place to work and workout.

Easy access to the top two floors is provided compliments of an elevator. The second floor features three bedrooms and two bathrooms that include a master bedroom boasting a private balcony and walk-in closet. The master bathroom sports a dual-sink vanity, glass shower enclosure and a spa tub.

The third floor’s design includes an open floor plan and pitched ceilings that encompass a living room complete with fireplace, kitchen with counter height seating, an adjoining dining area, an additional balcony and a half bathroom. Custom inlays add character to the floors while a saltwater fish tank introduces a tropical touch that ties in nicely with the nearby waterfront.

Natural lights filters into every room through windows, skylights and sliding glass doors opening directly on to covered balconies.

But the highlight, and highest point, is the rooftop deck complete with a jacuzzi. A spiral staircase connecting the open-air deck with the floor below leads to this enviable spot for enjoying Florida’s West Coast signature sunsets, relaxing beneath a canopy of stars or just soaking up the sunshine. Low walls lining each side add just the right amount of privacy to this intimate space.
