BOATERS TAKE NOTICE! This beautifully updated waterfront home features a combination that is increasingly difficult to find: deep-water Ruskin Inlet frontage, direct access to Tampa Bay, a private boat house, 7,000-lb boat lift, pool and an extensively updated 2,271-square-foot home. Located on Ruskin Inlet with direct Tampa Bay access, this property is designed for enjoying the Florida waterfront lifestyle. From your private boat house and dock, head out toward Tampa Bay for boating, fishing and exploring the surrounding waterways. The home has 3 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms, including two primary suites with en-suite baths plus a private attached in-law/guest suite with its own full bathroom and efficiency kitchen. The flexible layout works well for extended family, guests, seasonal visitors or a private living space. Inside, the home has been extensively updated with a chef's kitchen featuring a gas range, remodeled bathrooms, vaulted ceilings and a comfortable split-bedroom floor plan. Large windows and the open layout bring the Florida waterfront setting into the living spaces. Major improvements include newer energy-efficient windows, built-in hurricane shutters, an energy-efficient heat-pump HVAC system and an on-demand water heater. Step outside and the property becomes a true waterfront retreat. Enjoy the private pool and hot tub, relax beside the water, or head to the boat house for an afternoon on Tampa Bay. The combination of pool, dock, boat house and waterfront creates an exceptional setting for entertaining, relaxing and enjoying life on the water. The property is also available fully furnished and has previously been used as a rental, providing flexibility for an owner looking for a primary residence, second home, guest-friendly retreat or potential rental use, subject to applicable rules and regulations. If boating is a priority, this property deserves a close look. Deep-water Ruskin Inlet frontage, direct Tampa Bay access, a private boat house, boat lift, pool and extensive updates are rarely found together.
