This remarkable Terra Ceia Island home stood strong through recent storms—Debby, Helene, and Milton—thanks to its elevated first floor, approximately 16 feet above ground level, providing lasting security and peace of mind. Embrace the charm of Old Florida living at 1215 Bayshore Drive, a custom waterfront residence built in 2000 featuring 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and over 3,000 sq. ft. of beautifully crafted living space on 3.25 acres of serene waterfront property. A picturesque drive and lush landscaping lead to a welcoming front porch that highlights the home’s quality construction. Inside, natural light and tranquil views fill the open floor plan, where the great room, dining room, and foyer open to a screened back porch through elegant French doors. A flexible bonus room serves perfectly as an office, playroom, or TV room, complemented by a convenient half bath. The chef’s kitchen showcases custom wood cabinetry, granite counters, a gas range, stainless steel appliances, and a unique antique marble-topped oak island. A cozy breakfast nook and oversized laundry room—with a 1920s cast iron farm sink and walk-in pantry—add practicality and charm. A guest ensuite on the main level features a walk-in closet and stylish bath with beehive tile flooring and walk-in shower. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a walk-in closet, updated spa bath with Jacuzzi tub, open shower, and dual vanities. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the upper level. Notable features include custom millwork, ceiling fans throughout, a whole-house vacuum system, alarm system, and framed space for a future elevator. The ground level provides two covered parking spaces, a mudroom, and ample storage areas. Outdoors, enjoy a 23' x 24' air-conditioned workshop/studio with attic storage, a freshwater pond with artesian well, a fenced vegetable garden, solar-powered gate, and multiple parking options for vehicles or boats. Follow the 125-ft boardwalk to the observation deck for kayaking or fishing adventures. Ideally located near Sarasota, Bradenton, St. Petersburg, and Tampa—and minutes from the Gulf beaches—this property offers the perfect blend of tranquility, craftsmanship, and coastal accessibility. Experience the timeless appeal of Terra Ceia Island, home to Florida’s oldest continuously operating civic association.
