Set along 90 feet of deep-water frontage in the coveted Venetian Isles neighborhood, this beautifully updated waterfront residence captures sweeping views of Tampa Bay and delivers the quintessential Florida lifestyle. Recently refreshed with a crisp, light-filled interior palette and enhanced by extensive landscaping improvements, the home blends timeless coastal design with modern comfort. A circular paver driveway and striking glass entry welcome you inside, where soaring ceilings, architectural beams, and expansive walls of glass immediately draw your attention to the water beyond. Designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining, the open floor plan seamlessly connects the main living spaces to the outdoor waterfront setting. The chef’s kitchen is both functional and distinctive, featuring custom cabinetry, Aurora Blue Quartzite countertops, a generous breakfast bar, and a premium appliance package that includes a paneled Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch double ovens, a dishwasher, gas cooktop, and ice maker. Adjacent dining and living areas showcase panoramic bay views and open directly to the outdoor living spaces. The thoughtfully designed split-bedroom floor plan provides privacy for family and guests alike. The waterfront primary suite enjoys direct access to the pool terrace, stunning water views, a spacious walk-in closet, and a well-appointed bath. Three additional bedrooms, including a private guest suite, provide flexibility for family, visitors, or home office needs. Outside, the resort-inspired setting takes center stage. Newly sealed travertine pavers surround the infinity-edge pool and spa, which have been enhanced with all-new equipment including a spa pump, pool and infinity-edge pump, heater, and a new pool screen by the infinity edge helps keep the pool pristine. The covered lanai with pecky cypress ceiling, outdoor kitchen, firepit, and multiple gathering spaces creates the perfect backdrop for waterfront entertaining. A bayside deck overlooks the deep-water canal and Tampa Bay beyond, while permanent pilings provide the opportunity to reinstall a dock to accommodate your boating needs. Additional upgrades include all-new interior paint, LED lighting with dimmers throughout, a new ADT security system with integrated cameras and video recording, a central garage vacuum system, flat-screen televisions installed in every bedroom, a 90-foot seawall, wood-look tile flooring throughout, a spacious two-car garage with workshop area, and no bridges to open water. Solar panels have been recently replaced and activated through the Enphase system, providing energy efficiency and long-term value. Ideally located just minutes from downtown St. Petersburg, acclaimed dining, shopping, and cultural attractions, with convenient access to Tampa International Airport, this exceptional waterfront property offers a rare combination of luxury, privacy, and breathtaking bayfront living.
