IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO START LIVING THE DREAM in this gorgeous custom Treasure Island waterfront pool home! Considerably larger than most local single-story homes, this recently updated beauty boasts 3 large bedrooms, 3 full baths (2 ensuites), a cook’s kitchen, large living/dining room, double-side gas fireplace, and light and airy coastal colors in an open concept design. As you enter the modern glass front door, you’ll immediately be drawn to the back wall of windows that beckon you to the waterfront oasis outside. Water views abound from inside the home, while custom driftwood LVP flooring and large rooms throughout with flexible design and pet- and child-friendly indoor/outdoor living. The kitchen features light solid natural maple kitchen cabinets with lazy Susans, high-end quartz countertops and appliances, a kitchen island that sits atop the flooring for easy re-positioning, built-in wine rack, and an adjacent butler’s pantry with wet bar. The massive owner’s retreat has a sitting area with double-sided fireplace and intercoastal waterway views and a huge 17-ft closet. The large owner’s bathroom houses a dual-head shower with custom medallion, 2-person soaking tub with chromotherapy lights, make-up vanity, dual sinks and tons of cabinet storage. The 20 x 13 ft 3rd bedroom can easily be used as a bunk room, game room or flex space. Location, location, location! Nestled near the end of a finger canal, the outside entertaining area provides intercoastal waterway views with canal storm protection. Relax watching dolphins frolic and boats cruise by on the 20 x 10-ft composite deck or the dock. In fact, the owners have twice witnessed baby dolphin births at the end of the dock! The dock has a unique built-in dual-sided lounger bench and table, 10,000 lb boat lift, fish cleaning station, 2 lower landings, and water access via staircase or retractable ladder. Live the outdoor Florida life with a salt-water Pebbletech pool with tanning shelf, lighted bubbler, dual loungers and umbrella stand, and color-changing LED lights, a large paver patio with retractable awning, a covered patio with retractable screen and 5-person therapeutic spa, and outdoor speakers. Unlike many competitors, this home balances coastal living with hurricane safety. Hurricane protection includes impact windows and slider doors or Kevlar screens for other dual-paned energy efficient windows, an all-home 22 KW generator with 3 owned 125-gallon propane tanks, solid block construction and a roof with hurricane straps (insurance company inspected in 2024). Never worry about losing power. This renovated home’s cast-iron sewer lines were replaced unlike many in older homes the area. In 54 years of family ownership, the home has never had storm water intrusion. It is located within walking/biking distance of public beaches, 2 playgrounds, a dog park, sports courts (tennis, pickleball, basketball, shuffleboard), restaurants and shopping. Waterfront parks and golf courses are also nearby. The voluntary community civic association (no HOA) offers monthly dinners and holiday activities, while the city (featured on HGTV’s Rock the Block: Redemption) hosts free concerts, festivals, the Sanding Ovations sand sculping contest, and holiday fireworks.
