Some waterfront properties offer a beautiful setting; this one offers an exceptional boating lifestyle with a private, owner-owned deep-water deeded boat slip and an 8,000-pound solar-powered boat lift just steps from the home. Positioned along a protected natural cove framed by lush mangroves and abundant coastal wildlife, this beautifully maintained Tierra Verde residence offers a distinctive Southwestern-inspired aesthetic, creating warm, architectural character. Inside, thoughtful craftsmanship and quality finishes include rich hardwood flooring, custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops, hurricane-impact windows, a recently updated metal roof, and an epoxy-finished garage floor. The main living spaces open naturally to multiple outdoor areas, including a covered waterfront deck, expansive sun deck, and lower patio, creating an ideal setting for entertaining, relaxing, and taking in spectacular sunsets over the water. Approximately 260 square feet of additional bonus space provides valuable flexibility beyond the home's primary living area, making it well suited for a media room, fitness studio, creative space, or private retreat. A whole-home water softener system adds another thoughtful convenience. For the boating enthusiast, the deeded deep-water slip and 8,000-pound solar-powered lift are the true standouts, offering the freedom to keep your boat at your own private slip rather than relying on marina storage. From here, enjoy direct, bridge-free boating access to Tampa Bay and the Gulf, with Shell Key Preserve, Egmont Key, sandbars, waterfront restaurants, and renowned fishing waters all within easy reach. Dolphins, manatees, and native coastal birds are frequent visitors, making the waterfront feel like a private nature preserve while still being minutes from the best of Tierra Verde and the surrounding Tampa Bay area. Nearby Fort De Soto Park offers beautiful beaches, biking and walking trails, fishing piers, kayak launches, camping, a dog beach, and access to Egmont Key, while St. Pete Beach and downtown St. Petersburg provide exceptional dining, shopping, museums, entertainment, waterfront parks, and year-round events. Surrounded by tropical landscaping and conveniently located near the community pool, this property delivers a rare combination of distinctive design, waterfront privacy, flexible living space, and exceptional boating access. A truly special opportunity for the buyer who appreciates character, quality, and the freedom that comes with owning a deeded deep-water boat slip and private boat lift in coveted Tierra Verde.
