1886 Tarpon Springs Queen Anne-style home sells
Following less than a year on the market, a 4,064 square-foot Queen Anne-style home located at 115 S. Spring Boulevard, Tarpon Springs sold Aug. 15 for $1.425 million, $475,000 less than the original asking price.
The 4-bedroom, 2.5 bath property was originally built in 1886 by Edward Newton Knapp, historically known as chairman of the meeting during which Tarpon Springs was incorporated in 1887. According to a Historic Resources Survey of Tarpon Springs published by the City in 2009, Mr. Knapp specially designed the home to fit on its 0.33-acre corner lot and did not want any square-shaped rooms. Because of its unusual rounded shape, the home became known as “The Crescent Place.”
The first level provides a formal living and dining room that shares a double-sided fireplace; a family-sized updated kitchen with granite counters, upper-lighted glass cabinets, a 10-foot island, a farmhouse sink and a breakfast nook; an updated guest bath and a great room with views of Spring Bayou. Upstairs, on the second and third levels, are four bedrooms, a second family room and a loft area.
Highlights include 37 different hardwoods appearing throughout the home, heartwood pine floors, pine and cypress wall and ceiling accents, ornate wrought iron fencing, lush landscaping, a wood-decked patio in back and front yard vistas of Craig Park and Spring Bayou. A boat launch and tennis courts are 300 yards away and historical downtown Tarpon Springs is within walking distance.
The property was last purchased in 2021 for $1.45 million. The seller and buyer were both represented by Renee Gialousis with Coldwell Banker Realty.
