Description

HISTORIC DOWNTOWN DUNEDIN MASTERPIECE — LOCATION, LAND, HISTORY & ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES! Welcome to 224 Albert Street, a truly one-of-a-kind property where more than a century of Dunedin history meets modern updates, an extraordinary natural setting and incredible future potential. Built in 1909 by Dunedin Mayor Walter Bull, this remarkable solid heart-pine residence sits on approximately .43 acres in the heart of Dunedin, just ONE BLOCK from Edgewater Drive and the Pinellas Trail and minutes from Downtown Dunedin, the Marina, Edgewater Park, restaurants, breweries, boutiques and festivals. A beautiful screened-in front porch welcomes you before stepping into a warm living room centered around a gorgeous brick wood-burning fireplace. Extensively renovated while preserving its historic character, the 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features beautiful original heart-pine flooring and a BRAND-NEW 2026 KITCHEN with soft-close cabinetry, stone countertops, Italian porcelain tile and premium Bosch appliances. A major 2026 HVAC overhaul includes a brand-new downstairs A/C system and entirely new ductwork upstairs and downstairs. The magic continues outdoors! A large rear deck overlooks the pond and expansive backyard, creating a peaceful sanctuary beneath magnificent mature, moss-draped live oaks. Designated a Backyard Wildlife Habitat since 2003, the grounds feature seasonal nesting habitat for Yellow-Crowned Night Herons, a butterfly garden, mature fruit-bearing mango and loquat trees and an established collection of culinary and medicinal herbs. A covered observation deck offers another special place to enjoy this incredible setting. With nearly half an acre, there is abundant room to entertain, garden, add a spectacular pool and oversized lanai or create the private outdoor retreat you have always imagined. A large one-car garage adds even more flexibility with an additional storage room featuring a new wall-unit A/C. This space is not included in the home’s heated square footage and offers possibilities for an office, gym, studio, workshop or bonus space. Then there is the incredible MF-15 ZONING, making this already rare property even more intriguing. Imagine a private compound, garage with an ADU above, additional living space or exploring the potential for another home or residences while keeping the beautifully renovated 1909 home as the centerpiece. Whether your vision is a private estate, multigenerational property or future investment opportunity, this combination of land, location and zoning is exceptionally difficult to duplicate. Buyers should independently verify all permitted uses, density and development possibilities with the City of Dunedin. Best of all, leave the car at home and walk or bike to Downtown Dunedin, the waterfront, Marina, Edgewater Park, Pinellas Trail, restaurants, breweries, cafés, boutiques and weekend events. Historic homes can be found. Large parcels can be found. Downtown locations can be found. But finding ALL THREE—along with beautiful renovations, pond views, mature landscaping, flexible zoning and extraordinary future potential—is something entirely different. 224 Albert Street isn’t simply a home; it’s a rare piece of Dunedin history and an opportunity to create something truly extraordinary.
