Description

An iconic residence with a story to tell, 415 Magnolia Dr. Stands as one of the jewels of Clearwater’s Historic Harbor Oaks neighborhood. Known locally as the Studebaker home, this estate is a living testament to the visionaries who built Harbor Oaks in the early 1900s—Florida’s first planned residential community. Harbor Oaks was conceived as a haven of refinement for prominent families, entrepreneurs, and statesmen. Its wide, tree-lined avenues, grand architecture, and commanding views of Clearwater Harbor quickly earned it the title “Harbor Oaks of Distinction.” The Studebaker family, automotive pioneers whose innovations helped shape American industry, chose this enclave as their Florida retreat, embedding their name in local history. The home itself reflects that same pioneering spirit. Its horseshoe footprint and soaring ceilings evoke a sense of timeless grandeur. The library’s hand-carved stone fireplace, Ybor City mahogany windows, pecky cypress beams, and basswood floors from Tampa showcase craftsmanship rarely seen today. Custom hand-painted tiles, travertine, and bespoke woodwork further enrich the interiors. Updates over time have preserved its history while introducing modern comforts: a Wood-Mode kitchen with Sub-Zero refrigeration, Andersen windows, Koehler fixtures, and a six-zone HVAC system. The estate’s outdoor living spaces are nothing short of magical. A two-story screened courtyard with mature palms and lush landscaping frames a flowing koi pond with an island at its center—reached by solid concrete bridges. It’s an enchanting setting for al fresco dining, enhanced by the sounds of a stone lion wall fountain and a cascading waterfall. Beyond the courtyard, blooming gardens and a natural-gas outdoor kitchen invite gathering and relaxation. A detached guest house extends the home’s versatility, offering a 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment with kitchenette—ideal for visitors or extended family. Below, a custom entertaining space with a full bar, designed to echo the style of the Carlouel Yacht Club, provides the perfect setting for gatherings. The estate is framed by a stately stone wall that ensures privacy while still embracing Harbor Oaks’ historic character. Its oversized lot offers not only sweeping grounds but also the rare opportunity for future expansion. Just minutes away are Clearwater’s vibrant downtown and the world-renowned sands of Clearwater Beach, but within Harbor Oaks itself, the Studebaker home feels like a world apart—a place where Florida history, architectural artistry, and modern luxury meet. 415 Magnolia Dr. Is more than a residence; it is a legacy.Show Description
