Welcome to the quieter side of Clearwater Beach, where white sand and sparkling Gulf waters are just a 3-minute walk from your front door. Tucked into the residential north end of the island, this charming beach bungalow offers the increasingly rare combination of a peaceful neighborhood setting and easy access to everything Clearwater Beach has to offer. Inside, a spacious great room provides plenty of room for gathering, while the adjoining study/den creates a flexible space for a home office, reading room or additional lounge area. Outside, the tropical backyard is filled with lush native Florida foliage, creating a private setting with an unmistakable Old Florida feel. A one-car carport adds everyday convenience, and the roof was replaced in 2021. Best of all is the location. Neighborhood beach access is approximately a 3-minute walk away, leading to gorgeous white-sand beaches removed from the crowds found farther south. With no public parking on the north end of Clearwater Beach, this stretch of shoreline is primarily enjoyed by those who live nearby. Morning walks, sunset strolls and spontaneous trips to the beach can simply become part of everyday life. At the very north end of the neighborhood is the renowned Carlouel Beach & Yacht Club, a private club that has been part of the Clearwater Beach community for generations. Membership opportunities offer access to waterfront dining, social events, pools, beach club amenities and children's summer camps, adding yet another dimension to the North Beach lifestyle. Despite its peaceful residential setting, North Clearwater Beach remains close to shops, restaurants, nightlife, luxury hotels, Clearwater Marine Aquarium and Pier 60, known for its nightly sunset celebrations, entertainment and street vendors. Nearby marinas offer fishing charters, dolphin cruises, parasailing and an array of ways to get out on the water. Don't miss this relaxed beach bungalow in one of Clearwater Beach's most desirable residential settings...close to all the action when you want it, yet wonderfully removed from it when you don't.
