If you love nature and privacy, but still need the convenience of a luxury living within 15 minutes of Tampa International Airport, you will want to make this custom-built coastal contemporary home (offering a 360 degree view of downtown St Pete, Tampa Bay and the Tampa skyline) your own dream home. Nestled on nearly an acre on a saltwater canal on Tampa Bay, this house features two levels of high and dry living space, an amazing widow's walk, and nearly 2,000 sq ft of extra space on the ground floor for guests, entertaining and more. The boardwalk overlooking protected wetlands welcomes you to a brand new covered boat lift and dock, ideal for your boat up to 10,000 lbs. While this is an ideal home for the avid boater and fishermen, the preserve all around creates an opportunity for birders and photographers to indulge in their love of pristine nature. The ground floor features a guest room, pool bath, gym, entertainment wet bar and incredible golf simulator system/projector TV for sports fans. With two over-sized garages and a utility garage for bikes, golf carts and water toys, your favorite garage perk may be the dog bathing station. The living areas of this house feature high ceilings, split bedrooms (all ensuite baths), an office and so many custom upgrades and built-ins. The home exudes comfortable warmth combined with the quality and luxury you deserve. The engineering and construction are top quality: pilings are drilled into bedrock five feet down, sprinkler system throughout house, 3"x4"s used (instead to 2x4s) and fortified roof strapping for storm safety. Seller pays $1770 for flood insurance and $5770 for hazard insurance.
