7500 Delaware Dr, Weeki Wachee, FL 34607

A stately Mediterranean home with all the bones and splash but needs a TLC makeover to bring it back to all its retro prestige! Nice half-acre lot with tree view in back and an irrigation well for yard maintenance. The architectural distinction from ordinary ranch to mediterranean ranch starts at the curb with the presence of arches in window openings, garage door and side wing over the gated walkway. The gated entrance is the most prominent arch and welcomes you to a courtyard leading to the carved solid wood double doors at the entry. Inside you will find the space you’ve been wanting for that open living concept between the kitchen, dining room, wet bar and family room, all with direct access to the pool lanai. The pool deck stretches from one end to the other and sliding glass doors provide access from both primary bedroom and family room. Massive stone fireplace with wood mantle and trimmed in wood and mirrors is reminiscent of an Italian villa. Guest suites share a hall bath with two sinks in a corner vanity plus a garden view while using the loo. Flex space for a home office, yoga studio or classroom will transform a former formal living room into a very useful dedicated room. Look past the weathered stucco and dated finishes and look for the past elegance as inspiration for the next generation.
