One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Welcome to 8357 Matthew Drive, a beautifully updated home in the heart of New Port Richey that perfectly blends modern upgrades with relaxed Florida living. Lush palm tree landscaping, an expanded driveway providing ample additional parking, gutters, and hurricane impact-rated windows installed in 2020 throughout the majority of the home enhance both curb appeal and peace of mind. Located in Flood Zone X500, the property offers added reassurance. Striking new double front doors and soaring vaulted ceilings immediately set the tone for a bright, open interior. Inside, you’ll find new flooring installed in 2020, featuring a seamless combination of wood-look tile and luxury vinyl plank, complemented by skylights that flood the home with natural light. The kitchen was fully renovated in 2022 and is a true showstopper, offering quartz countertops, shaker-style cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a deep farmhouse sink, and an oversized pantry—perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The living area is anchored by a charming stone wood-burning fireplace, adding warmth and character. Both bathrooms have been fully renovated, including the spacious primary suite with a large walk-in closet and an elegant, updated en-suite bath. The second bathroom also offers a tub and equally refined finishes. Step outside to your private backyard oasis, situated on a conservation lot with no rear neighbors, offering exceptional privacy. The yard is fully enclosed by a PVC vinyl fence and designed for year-round enjoyment with a sparkling chlorine pool, custom poolside bar, and a large fully screened lanai—ideal for relaxing or hosting gatherings. Also included is your very own pool bar. Additional highlights include a large two-car garage, ample parking from the expanded driveway, and the added peace of mind of a recently completed 4-point inspection.
