Enjoy this rare opportunity to own an exclusive tropical paradise at 1016 Mandalay Avenue. Nestled in the highly coveted Carlouel neighborhood of world renowned Clearwater Beach, this property is just steps away from private access to uncrowded pristine shores, sugary sands and stunning sunsets. The home is being sold in as is condition and has been painstakingly remediated providing you with a blank canvas to create your own coastal oasis. Light and bright terrazzo floors throughout lead to open and airy sunlit rooms. The fenced backyard with beautiful mature landscaping and butterfly garden is a welcome sanctuary providing privacy and plenty of space for a pool, hot tub and endless recreation. This location provides you with the best of both worlds: the quiet, serene lifestyle of Old Florida only a block away from the famed Carlouel Yacht Club. Imagine walking along the shore to one of the few untouched islands on the Gulf Coast, Caladesi Island State Park, for amazing shelling, kayaking and wildlife. When you want more action, you are just a short bike, golf cart or trolly ride away to a fabulous array of world class restaurant, shops, Pier 60, the Marina and all the entertainment and nightlife Clearwater Beach is known for.
