Timeless Elegance Meets Modern Sophistication in the heart of the highly sought-after Glenwood Estates, this extraordinary five-bedroom modern farmhouse seamlessly blends historic charm with contemporary luxury. Set on a generous corner lot at one of the highest points in Clearwater, graced by lush, mature landscaping and towering grand oaks, this home is a sanctuary of beauty and functionality. Lovingly remodeled by the current owners since 2017, including an impressive 1,850-square-foot second-floor master suite, first-floor mother-in-law suite, and double-car garage addition in 2019, the property is as striking as it is practical. The main floor boasts an open, airy layout designed for hosting. Step into the dining area, where a dramatic oak staircase sets a refined tone. The centerpiece is the stunning modern farmhouse kitchen, a chef’s dream outfitted with custom-milled cabinetry from North Carolina, sleek stainless-steel appliances, and an oversized reclaimed oak island. Dolomite countertops, a shiplap ceiling, and artisan pendant lighting complete the space, while LED under-cabinet lighting adds a warm, inviting glow. Adjacent to the kitchen is the welcoming living room, which flows seamlessly into a private office tucked behind charming reclaimed oak barn doors. Through PGT premium hurricane-rated French doors, step onto the garden patio, surrounded by tropical foliage and fruit trees—including banana, lemon, and persimmon—for the ultimate in tranquility. The thoughtfully designed floor plan provides private retreats for every member of the household. On the main floor, two bright bedrooms with garden views share a full bath illuminated by a skylight. A guest half-bath is conveniently located nearby. Upstairs, the master suite is a true oasis. Wide-plank distressed oak flooring, recessed ceiling lights, and ample space for a California king bed create an atmosphere of understated luxury.
