This home is situated on a highly desirable lot on the waterside of Martinique Avenue, near the southern tip of Davis Islands. This is an unusually large lot for South Tampa and Davis Islands; it was originally a city park, and is situated on the east side of Columbia Channel, only 700 feet from the open bay in a location where the channel widens, lowering the hydrostatic stress on the seawall. The backyard faces west and boasts three grand oaks that provide excellent shade and filtering of the afternoon sun, yet providing for excellent sunset views. The lot has never flooded since 1972. The oversized dock, erected by Waterline Construction (TampaBay's premier dock builder), includes a covered boat lift, with a twin-motor 12,000 pound lift, has interior lighting, motion sensor flood lights, a snook light, and water service. The large swimming pool, waterfall, and ten-person spa were custom built by Manny Garcia (Carrollwood Pools of South Tampa, one of TampaBay's most exclusive high-end pool builders). The same team that installed SeaWorld’s Dolphin Cove created the pool’s natural Florida stone faux finish. The white concrete pool walls are 18 inches thick, with rebar reinforcements every six inches, which is far beyond code requirements anywhere; also, the pool has four skimmers. The pool is heated via a MiniMax heater with natural gas pumped directly from the street. Separate pumps operate the filtration system and the Polaris cleaner, unless you prefer the Dolphin robot cleaner. The pool is six feet deep at the drain, but only 3.5 feet along every edge. The pool steps and benches are all solid, poured concrete; each level plumbs only 8 inches deeper than its neighbor step. That means that a mom with her newborn can sit on the top step and still be part of the fun! Step level two is big enough for a chaise lounge. This is a perfect party/socializing pool, and has also sported many volleyball games since it was built! The house has a low-profile hurricane resistant metal roof, with gutter helmets (gutter helmets prevent gutters from clogging), and PGT hurricane-resistant doors and windows, designed to open outwards, so that any storm winds will push them closed tighter, enhancing the home's structural integrity. The house is equipped with a Ring doorbell and seven Ring motion sensor flood light cameras with 1080p resolution. The house is also equipped with 32 top of the line SolarWorld solar panels and backup batteries capable of running everything except for the central air for two days without TECO power. And, the two-car garage is outfitted with an extra 220-volt outlet for your Tesla. This richly appointed home has 16" x 16" natural travertine floors with 1/8" perfectly straight grout lines throughout; the craftsmanship is high art. The oversized kitchen has expansive, double thick, bullnose granite counter tops, including a 4 seat breakfast bar, Franke sinks (with garbage disposal), a SubZero 690 refrigerator, a Dacor gas range, oven, and oven/convection microwave, a silent Bosch dishwasher, and a Bosch under-cabinet wine cooler. Between the two-car garage and the kitchen is an extremely large pantry/ laundry room with California Closets galore. The two guest bedrooms also sport efficient California Closets and are wired for cable TV. Both bathrooms have beautiful limestone countertops and walk-in showers. The oversized master bath has his and hers sinks, a separate toilet vestibule, and the dual headed shower is large enough for two. LED lighting throughout.
