It has the finer architectural details and craftsmanship of days gone by. When you live in this one of a kind Clearwater home you’ll be living in a part of the City of Clearwater’s History and also be living in a luxury pool home near Clearwater Beach (@ 3miles).
This Clearwater house was built in 1924 by Mr. John Philipoff, a local Tampa Bay builder of distinction, built this 4-bedroom, 3-full bath and 1-half bath, Golf Course Frontage home featuring hardwood floors, a fireplace, original windows and antique light fixtures.
The 2+ car detached garage that you see was originally a carriage house and horse stable and is located next to the screen enclosed pool and patio area. Now it includes a In-Law Suite with full bath.
Mr. Philipoff built this home for Mr. Oscar Rosseau, the man who engineered the building of the Courtney Campbell Causeway, the bridge connecting Clearwater Florida to Tampa.
Interesting fact: This home was built halfway down a bluff in the center of the bluff for safety and to keep the home cool.
