$1,299,000 | 3 Beds | 4 Baths (4 Full) | 2,414 Sq. Ft.

Welcome to your own slice of paradise in Tropical Shores — a rare mid-century gem where timeless Florida charm meets modern luxury. Nestled among lush, mature landscaping and gracefully positioned on expansive, deep open water with unrestricted sailboat access to Tampa Bay, this beautifully preserved home offers a front-row seat to breathtaking sunsets and the ultimate waterfront lifestyle. This solid-block, 3-bedroom plus den, 4-bathroom home with a 2-car garage is a testament to thoughtful design and enduring craftsmanship. Importantly, it remained high and dry during the 2024 hurricanes — no flooding occurred. Inside, polished terrazzo flooring flows throughout, complementing a layout that is as functional as it is elegant. With three private en-suite bedrooms, this home offers a rare level of comfort and flexibility — perfect for hosting guests, accommodating extended family, or providing private space for long-term visitors. At the heart of the home is a custom Italian kitchen that combines beauty and function. Outfitted with a sleek gas range and high-end finishes, it’s a chef’s dream and the perfect backdrop for gatherings both casual and elegant. Step outside to your tropical oasis — where artful landscaping and serene water views set the tone for outdoor living at its finest. Lounge poolside, soak in the hot tub, launch a kayak from your private dock, or simply watch dolphins and manatees drift by. Fishing, bird watching, and waterfront dining are all part of daily life here. Just steps from Lansing Park — famous for kite surfing and skyline views of downtown St. Pete — and within walking or biking distance to the vibrant Old Southeast neighborhood and downtown, this location offers the perfect blend of seclusion and connection. World-class galleries, boutique shops, craft breweries, and the excitement of the Tampa Bay Rays expansion are all within easy reach. Experience the magic of Tropical Shores — where no detail is overlooked and every day feels like a vacation. Schedule your private tour today. StellarMLS TB8380577
