1120 LANYARD STREET If you’re tired of cookie-cutter and crave a home with soul, updates, and the kind of peace that only nature and hurricane-impact windows can bring — you just found it. This updated, character-filled beauty sits on a .52-acre lot backing to conservation in the 55+ community of Anchorage, with no rear neighbors and your own fenced backyard oasis. Lush landscaping, paver patio, screened lanai, and it backs to a greenbelt — it’s like living in a private park. Bonus: the front of the home has a full Castle Stone facelift. Curb appeal? Check. Inside, the vibe is warm, modern, and move-in ready. The fresh Sherwin-Williams Agreeable Gray walls let the custom finishes shine — like the teak flooring, the cozy corner window seats, and the floor-to-ceiling built-in library shelving with hidden storage. This isn’t a flip. It’s a home that’s been loved. The kitchen is the real showpiece — updated with deep functionality and smart design. You’ll find custom Rev-a-Shelf pull-out drawers and pantry organizers, a hidden mixer lift, and basket-style drawers perfect for bread or produce. Stainless steel appliances, a breakfast nook, and views that pass through to the outdoors complete the scene. There’s a formal dining room, a casual dinette, two living areas (one with a wood-burning fireplace), and an actual laundry room with a utility sink. The primary suite feels like a retreat, offering custom closets, a spa-style bathroom with a chromotherapy bubble tub, and a walk-in shower with a handcrafted turtle inlay tile that makes you smile every time you see it. The second bedroom and guest bath are equally spacious and welcoming. Behind the scenes, the systems are dialed in: 2017 roof, 2017 impact-rated windows and doors, 2013 HVAC with Ecobee zoned thermostat, hurricane-rated garage door, leafless gutter system, deep well irrigation, and a Simplisafe security system. There’s even a ScaleBlaster water conditioner that doesn't use salt, so no more hauling heavy salt bags ever again. The under-sink water filtration system keeps everything tasting fresh. And the community? Anchorage offers a remodeled clubhouse with a community pool, library, billiards, events — all for a low $125/quarter HOA. Non-commercial, trucks up to 1-ton are allowed in this subdivision. Easy access to Walgreens, shopping, restaurants, John Chesnut Park, Lake Tarpon, Mease Countryside Hospital, and all the best spots in North Pinellas.
