About this home

Some homes are simply well maintained—3742 Tangelo Drive is maintained to an entirely different standard. Its immaculate condition, thoughtful upgrades and unmistakable pride of ownership immediately set it apart. Built in 2016 on an oversized 0.31-acre lot in St. James City’s Tropical Homesites neighborhood, this exceptional 1,553-square-foot home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a 2-car garage and an impressive combination of quality, comfort and authentic island living. Constructed of concrete block with impact-resistant windows and doors, the home is topped with a new standing-seam metal roof. The homesite was also extensively filled and elevated well beyond basic building requirements. With its elevated lot, substantial construction, impact protection and metal roof, this home is about as well prepared as island living gets—and it has no history of flooding. A paver driveway creates a polished first impression. Inside, high ceilings, tall doorways and beautiful high-end tile flooring create a bright, open and welcoming atmosphere. Every room feels exceptionally clean, spacious and thoughtfully finished. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances and plenty of space for preparing meals and entertaining. Granite surfaces and refined finishes continue into the bathrooms. The spacious primary suite provides a comfortable retreat with two closets, dual vanities and a large walk-in shower. Both guest bedrooms are generously sized, offering flexibility for visitors, an office or hobbies. Florida living truly shines outside. Relax on the screened lanai or entertain around the new custom outdoor kitchen, complete with granite countertops, a built-in gas grill, refrigerator and sink. It is ready for weekend cookouts, evening gatherings and effortless outdoor dining. The large lot offers an uncommon sense of space, while the meticulously maintained exterior perfectly complements the pristine interior. Tropical Point Park and its waterfront beach area are within walking distance, placing kayaking, fishing, picnics and unforgettable sunsets just moments away. Beyond the park is Pine Island’s wonderfully unconventional character—a place where working waterfronts, tropical fruit groves, roadside produce stands, local artists, fishing boats and colorful personalities remain part of everyday life. Days move at their own pace, neighbors wave as they pass and flip-flops are appropriate almost everywhere. It is Old Florida with a little quirk, a lot of personality and none of the polished sameness found elsewhere. This is more than a move-in-ready home—it is an opportunity to own an exceptionally cared-for, thoughtfully constructed property in a lifestyle increasingly difficult to find. With its premium improvements, elevated homesite, storm-conscious construction, outstanding outdoor living spaces and distinctly Pine Island setting, 3742 Tangelo Drive stands apart from the competition.
