About this home

3939 RUDDER WAY

Virtually Staged. This beautifully updated Gulf Harbors waterfront home delivers the lifestyle you are searching for—direct Gulf access, a private beach, a saltwater pool, and two boat lifts. And thanks to the fully paid max tier one solar panel system, no electric bill, aside from the $34 monthly connection charge. The solar panels are only 3 years old with 20-30 years of expected life. The interior of the home was updated and remodeled in 2024. The heart of the home is a stunning kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring stainless steel appliances, induction cooking and convection stove and a Reverse Osmosis system all wrapped into an open, inviting layout. There is exceptional kitchen storage with 31 total cabinets and drawers. All lower cabinets in the main kitchen are full-extension drawers for easy access to pots, pans, and small appliances, a premium upgrade compared with standard base cabinets. Around the granite countertop are additional perimeter cabinets plus a full pantry with upper and lower doors providing abundant, organized storage for food, cookware, and bulk items. The primary suite is a true waterfront retreat, with sliding glass doors that open directly to the back patio. Two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, home office space, or multigenerational living—one even includes separate backyard access making it the perfect office or private entrance. The second bath features a deep soaking tub. This home has major system upgrades already completed—including replumbing the whole house with PEX piping, a new AC, hybrid water heater, water softener, and a generator hookup. Outside, the Florida lifestyle truly comes alive. Enjoy a resurfaced saltwater pool with a new filter, pump, and heater. The entire backyard, pool deck and side yards have brick pavers for no maintenance living and easy entertaining. There is an updated floating dock and gangway for easy loading and disembarking when boating. The two boat lifts are accessed by two 30 foot piers. All pilings are wrapped to prevent marine borer infestation, extending structural life and improving aesthetics. One boat lift is a three year old no-maintenance 13K boat lift. The other boat lift is a 10K lbs lift that was reconditioned with new cables and motors. Both boat lifts have GEM controllers with auto-stop technology and remote operation for lifting/lowering ease making spontaneous sunset cruises effortless. The dock is equipped with power outlets, motion sensor lights and water faucets for easy boat maintenance. There are also 2 working davits for a third vessel. Residents enjoy optional HOA at just $125 annually, access to a private beach for only $200 per year, and a golf-cart-friendly atmosphere. This home features an extra deep canal on a wide waterway on the south channel and this street has underground utilities so no unsightly power lines. Rudder Way is also a dead end street, and this home is close to the end so very little car or pedestrian traffic. Just privacy and solitude. Whether you’re an experienced boater or dreaming of becoming one, this home offers direct, quick access to the Gulf, with no bridges to slow you down. Flood insurance is approximately $3,500 annually and transferable, adding peace of mind! This neighborhood is hidden, but moments from all the nearby necessities including Publix, Sams Club, and downtown New Port Richey!

Value check

Is the price right?

The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
