Home Description

Enter into 2,334 square feet of refined elevated waterfront living in this beautifully appointed three-bedroom, two-bath home, where soaring 10-foot vaulted ceilings and a flowing open floor plan set the stage for effortless elegance. Expansive sliders frame sweeping water views, creating a tranquil backdrop for everyday living. Designed with form and function in mind, the gourmet kitchen is a showpiece—featuring a striking quartz island, custom pendant lighting, a new Bosch dishwasher (2025) and a spacious, thoughtfully customized pantry. The private owner’s suite offers a serene retreat with dual walk-in California Closets and a spa-inspired bath complete with double vanities, a tiled walk-in shower, a soaking tub, and custom mirrors and lighting. The upper and lower lanais invite you to soak in the natural beauty of the surrounding water and lush nature preserve. The screened lower lanai is a garden retreat, ideal for morning coffee or evening relaxation, featuring electronic sunshades and two custom ceiling fans for year-round comfort. This home is loaded with premium upgrades, including a fully integrated HIVE smart system featuring a central electronics rack, Klipsch surround sound, enhanced wireless network and Hunter Douglas electronic blinds throughout. Additional customizations include a built-in office/writing nook, bespoke custom closets, upgraded lighting and ceiling fans, central vacuum system, custom art lighting, stairway motion lighting, and a whole-house water softener and purification system. All living spaces are on a single level and easily accessed via a private elevator from the expansive 2,300-square-foot garage. This garage is anything but ordinary—finished with insulated and reinforced doors, epoxy flooring, and a full garage door-size retractable screen for fresh air and privacy. It’s also upgraded with a dedicated HVAC humidity control system, its electrical panel, custom cabinetry and storage, moveable screen walls, multiple ceiling fans and a high-capacity wall fan—creating the ultimate space for a gym, media room, workshop or collector’s haven. Built for durability and peace of mind, the home includes a whole-house 22-kilowatt natural gas Generac generator and was constructed to FORTIFIED–GOLD™ standards—the highest rating by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS). This resilient design surpasses standard building codes and features impact- and pressure-rated windows, sliders, entry doors and garage doors. With engineered connections from roof to wall, floor to floor, and wall to foundation, the structure delivers unmatched strength and storm protection. In Marina Bay—Pinellas County’s only community with all-block elevated construction and energy-efficient foam insulation—this exceptional home is surrounded by lush tropical landscaping and picturesque lakes teeming with native Florida wildlife. Watch herons, egrets and pelicans from your lanai, or spot dolphins and manatees in the waters of nearby Boca Ciega Bay. Residents enjoy access to two pools, two spas, a fitness center, community clubhouse and a deep-water marina with a fishing pier. This pet-friendly community is just 10 minutes from downtown St. Pete, 25 minutes from Tampa International Airport, and a short bike ride along the Pinellas Trail to Pass-a-Grille and St. Pete Beach.
