This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own one of Tarpon Springs historical gems originally built in 1926 as Tarpon's First Baptist Church. It has been resurrected by the owner into a Mediterranean mansion, with two luxurious fully furnished five-star homes within it, with each key bedroom having its own balcony. This property holds over 7,000 square feet of air-conditioned, modernized living areas and every smart home feature one could possibly desire.

Both downtown and the sponge docks have boutiques, breweries and gift shops in abundance, and are within a short walk. Two beaches are within a five-minute golf-cart drive, Spring Bayou and Craig Park are all within distance too.
