A rare opportunity to own one of Belleair’s most iconic residences, the Historic Ruder Estate captures the timeless beauty and grandeur of a bygone era. Set on nearly one acre of lush grounds, this restored Mediterranean villa blends classic architecture with luxurious modern updates for refined yet comfortable living. Originally built in the 1920s as one of the area’s earliest and most notable homes, the estate was for decades the residence of Lucius Ruder, Belleair’s colorful Depression-era mayor and prominent Clearwater landowner. His passion for horticulture shaped the property’s legacy, with greenhouses, formal gardens, and fruit trees still lending charm to the setting today. The 7,193-square-foot home welcomes with rich hardwood floors, custom stained glass, and a grand foyer leading to elegant living spaces adorned with hand-painted ceilings, arched doorways, and terracotta tile floors. The grand room and Italian-style loggia invite gracious entertaining, while the recreation room with beamed ceilings, fireplace, and Cuban tile flooring offers a warm space for gatherings. The chef’s kitchen, redesigned with a $250,000 investment, features custom cabinetry, marble and quartzite finishes, and top-tier Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances including dual prep areas, dishwashers, and sinks, plus a butler’s pantry. Outdoors, multiple terraces and courtyards, a gazebo, and a poolside kitchen provide the perfect backdrop for year-round entertaining. The primary suite offers a serene retreat with a private lounge, spa-style bath, and expansive dressing room. A guest wing above the three-car garage includes two ensuite bedrooms and a rooftop terrace. With impact windows and doors, a gated motor court, and a 2019 roof, this distinguished estate stands among Belleair’s most storied homes—minutes from Belleair Country Club, Clearwater Harbor, and Morton Plant Hospital.
