4940 CARDINAL TRAIL PALM HARBOR FL 34683 MLS #TB8342305 | Gary Kusher | Florida Real Estate

Welcome to this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home in the charming Blue Jay Woodlands community of Baywood Village, where modern living meets the relaxed Florida coastal lifestyle. Sitting proudly 3 feet above sea level, this home has *never flooded*—a rare and reassuring feature. Plus, it comes with a **NEW 2024 roof**, and gutters are currently being installed.

Inside, you’ll find a home that’s been lovingly updated and designed for both comfort and style. The kitchen is truly the heart of this home, featuring gorgeous granite countertops, a central island breakfast bar, a coffee bar, and pantry, all lit by natural light streaming through a skylight. Stainless steel appliances complete this dream space, making it perfect for everything from weekday breakfasts to hosting friends and family. The open living area offers wood-grain ceramic tile floors and a sleek, modern electric fireplace, with a bonus room nearby ready to be your office, guest room, or creative space.

The master suite is your private retreat, with a spacious walk-in closet (complete with a built-in safe), an updated en-suite bathroom, and French doors that lead to an enclosed patio—a peaceful spot to enjoy your morning coffee. The fourth bedroom also has patio access, offering flexible options as a fitness room, office, or guest suite.

The outdoor living spaces are just as inviting, featuring a wood deck, a lower paver patio, and a hot tub for year-round relaxation. While the yard could use some fresh landscaping and the exterior would benefit from a new coat of paint, it’s a blank canvas for creating your dream outdoor space. A partially updated fenced yard and convenient doggy doors make it perfect for pets.

This home is loaded with thoughtful upgrades, including double-pane UV-tinted windows, custom hurricane shades, a sprinkler system, a water softener, a reverse osmosis drinking water system, and an updated laundry room with a washer, dryer, and stainless steel sink. Freshly painted interiors mean it’s move-in ready, with only a few exterior touches left to make it your own.

What really sets this property apart is the incredible community it’s nestled in. Blue Jay Woodlands offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a calendar full of fun events like Halloween and Christmas golf cart parades, a chili cook-off, an Easter party, and more! With an optional $65/year HOA, you’ll also enjoy access to the community boat ramp, clubhouse, and playground.

Located just minutes from Florida’s most beloved spots—Honeymoon Island, Sunset Beach, Fred Howard Park, and the Pinellas Trail—you’re also close to downtown Palm Harbor’s quaint charm and the Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks with their unique shopping and dining.

Whether you’re looking for a home with character, a vibrant community, or proximity to all the best Florida has to provide, this home has it all. Schedule your private showing today and start imagining the possibilities! MORE PICTURES TO FOLLOW.
