Description

~Tropical Oasis~ Live where others vacation. This beautiful waterfront ranch style home can rightly brag about its gorgeous curb appeal, beautiful landscaping, and nightly colorful sunsets overlooking a wide canal in the highly desirable Sands Point section of Tierra Verde! Your soon-to-be new home consists of an open floor plan in the main living and kitchen areas that spreads lots of natural light and glorious water views from 28' floor to ceiling glass on the south facing dining room and entertainment area. There are 3 nicely sized bedrooms (two of which have great water and sunset views through large 6'x7' windows) and two full updated bathrooms. The master bedroom is separate from the other 2 bedrooms for lots of privacy and has an an-suite bathroom with separate tub and updated walk-in shower, double vanity with granite countertop and a nice walk-in closet with a California Closet system. The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms share a full bathroom, which includes a walk-in Steamist Steambath shower!! The kitchen has been recently renovated with all new cabinets, stone countertops, stainless -steel appliances, and a big island for entertaining guests. Marble flooring extends through each room of the home, and both interior and exterior of the house was freshly painted in 2019. The moment you walk outside to the back yard you will feel like you are in a tropical oasis with lush landscaping, including "Thai Gardens "that any lover of Thai food (or aspiring Thai chef) will be eager to utilize. To entertain your guests as they enjoy the relaxing atmosphere there is a saltwater pebble-tec pool and spa, a custom outdoor kitchen with oversized grill, outdoor refrigerator and ice-maker. On the side of the house there is a half bath for the pool area, extra storage and a greenhouse to grown your own herbs or plants. The entertainment value is further enhanced by a waters-edge deck with a gas firepit, several gas torches along the garden edge, and a gazebo that will have you sitting outside relaxing and enjoying the gorgeous sunsets. Oh and be prepared to watch the manatees and dolphins swim by your dock! Boat owners will be super thrilled with the easy in/out passageway through the wide canal that provides 10-minute access to the Intracoastal Waterway, The Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay. The dock has a 16.000 lbs lift that will keep your large boat safely out of the water (the owner previously kept a 31' SeaRay on it). The wooden dock top boards have been replaced in 2021. The 2-car garage has lots of storage cabinets, two ceiling mounted storage racks and a nice epoxy coated floor. This beautiful one level home located on the quiet part of Sands Point but still very close to the pristine sands of St. Pete Beach , Fort-de-Soto park, downtown St. Petersburg, Tampa International Airport and many restaurants, museums, sporting events, concerts, etc. This is your chance to live in paradise, so don't wait too long to make this YOUR HOME.
