Positioned at the end of a cul-de-sac and framed by sweeping wide-water views, this exceptional waterfront residence offers a rare combination of architectural scale, thoughtful design, privacy and premier boating access. With 120 feet of seawall and a 30’ x 30’ dock, the property is ideally suited for boating enthusiasts, featuring a 10,000 lb. boat lift and a 6,000 lb. lift accommodating two jet skis, along with a grandfathered off-center dock placement that maximizes water access and views. Built in 1992 and encompassing 3,406 square feet, the home offers three bedrooms, three full baths, and two half baths, with expansive living spaces designed to capture the surrounding water vistas from virtually every room. Rich hardwood floors extend throughout, complementing the impressive 33’ x 26’ living room and an expansive 30’ x 25’ kitchen and breakfast area designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is equipped with three sinks and two dishwashers, while a climate-controlled wine cellar provides dedicated storage for a curated collection. The first-floor primary suite offers comfort and privacy, while a spacious office with custom built-ins provides an ideal setting for work or study. Upstairs, a private balcony delivers elevated panoramic water views. Outdoor living is equally compelling, with a pool, outdoor kitchen, and multiple spaces for waterfront entertaining overlooking the water. The home is further enhanced by a two-car garage and numerous system updates, including a tile roof (2012), seawall (2019), dock (2019), water heater (2023), two HVAC systems (2022 and 2024), and pool pump (2024). Gas features include the stove, fireplace, furnace, and outdoor grill, supplied by an in-ground propane tank. Importantly, the residence did not experience flooding during the hurricanes of 2024, offering an additional measure of confidence in the home’s construction and position. Located within walking distance of Belleair Beach, this property presents a rare opportunity to enjoy expansive waterfront living with convenient access to the shoreline, all within a quiet and private residential setting.
