Experience breathtaking sunsets every evening from your custom-built, modern Key West-style waterfront home in the exclusive, gated community of Terra Ceia Bay Estates, featuring only ten residences. Arrive by boat via Tampa Bay's open waters to your private 90-foot dock with a 20,000-pound boat lift, or park in your expansive five-car garage equipped with ample storage. An elevator conveniently takes you to any of the home’s three levels. The mid-level main entrance welcomes you to an open-concept living area with stunning 180° water views, showcased through disappearing four-panel pocket sliding glass doors. The living room boasts a spacious wood-burning fireplace with a custom wood mantle, granite hearth, and built-ins, all beneath soaring 10-foot coffered ceilings with in-ceiling Bose surround sound speakers. These high ceilings continue throughout the home, complemented by ¾-inch solid Acacia hand-scraped hardwood floors, along with marble and travertine tile accents in the kitchen and bathrooms. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, offering a large walk-in pantry, granite countertops, under-cabinet and valance lighting, a touchless Kohler faucet, a generously sized island with bar seating, and a breakfast nook perfect for entertaining. It’s outfitted with high-end appliances, including a double oven, a five-burner low-profile electric cooktop, and a microwave drawer—ideal for hosting gatherings or preparing meals for family and friends. Adjacent is a formal dining room with crown molding and its own private balcony. On the third floor, the primary suite serves as a luxurious retreat, featuring a tray ceiling, a mirrored dressing area, and glass French doors leading to a private deck. A spiral staircase ascends to a crow’s nest, 40 feet above ground, where you can enjoy sunsets with panoramic views of the bay and Skyway Bridge. The ensuite bathroom offers heated travertine floors, a double vanity with granite countertops, a 12-jet Jacuzzi tub with an inline whirlpool heater, and an oversized walk-in shower with dual rainheads, four body sprays, and a shower wand. A nearby laundry room adds convenience, while an additional bedroom on this level includes a private bath with mosaic tile accents and a spacious wardrobe closet. Additional features of the home include solid core 8-foot interior doors, whole-house dimmable LED lighting, ceiling fans throughout, metal roofing, vinyl siding, Icynene attic spray foam insulation, a security system, PGT hurricane-rated impact windows and doors, see-through cable railing, and Trex composite decking. Outdoor amenities include dock lighting, a remote GEM boat lift controller, a 50A/30A shore power tower, and an in-ground sprinkler system. The home is located just 25 minutes from downtown St. Petersburg, 35 minutes from Tampa International Airport, and 20 minutes from University Mall.
