Description

Under contract-accepting backup offers. BEACH TOWN WATERFRONT INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY. ASSESSED TO HAVE NO
SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE FROM THE HURRICANES! Don’t pass up this chance to own
prime waterfront property listed below its appraised value. Stunning views of the intercoastal
waterway and deep-water canal will captivate you from inside and outside the house. The solid
block home, recently (2024) appraised to have 2718 sq ft of air conditioned living space, is
much larger than most single story homes in the area. Upon entering, you will be instantly
drawn to the solid wall of hurricane impact windows that lure you to the waterfront oasis outside.
This home features 3 large bedrooms, 3 full baths (2 ensuites), open concept kitchen, dining
and living room space with a wet bar and see-through gas fireplace. The massive owner’s
retreat has a sitting area with see-through fireplace, canal and intercoastal waterway views and
a huge 17-ft closet. The large owner’s bathroom has a dual-head shower with custom medallion
and separate water closet. The 20 x 13 ft 3rd bedroom can be used as a bunk room, game
room or flex space. New high efficiency air conditions were installed in 2024. The back yard
offers a renovated (2020) PebbleTec saltwater pool with tanning shelf, new (2024) pool pump,
covered paver patio with retractable screen, and open paver patio with retractable awning.
Watch dolphins frolic or boats pass by as you enjoy the coastal lifestyle. In fact, the owners
have twice seen 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. 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 150-gallon propane tanks, and a roof with hurricane straps (insurance company
inspected in 2024). This home’s cast-iron sewer lines were replaced (2016) unlike many in older
homes the area. It has been in the family nearly 55 years and never came close to having storm
water intrusion until the worst hurricane in a century brought record flooding to the Tampa Bay
coastal communities. Pictures show the home before and after the flood damage. The flood
damage has been completely mitigated. Because of the flood damage, the home is being sold
“as is” and the sellers make no warranties regarding the home’s rehabilitation. The generator,
gas tankless hot water heater, propane tanks, pool, dock, boatlift, seawall and roof are all in
good working condition. Whether you want to rehabilitate the home, raise it, or build new, this
property is an excellent value. 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 city hosts free concerts,
festivals, and holiday fireworks. Live the Florida beach town dream. Come see it before it’s
gone. Buyer to confirm all measurements.
