Welcome to 629 Cortez Drive — a STUNNING residence on one of Tampa Bay's most sought-after islands, where refined finishes meet effortless Florida living. Nestled in the exclusive, deed-restricted community of Tierra Verde, this 4 bedroom, 3 1/2 bathroom single-floor home has been thoughtfully designed from top to bottom, offering a rare move-in-ready opportunity at this caliber. Step inside to discover a light-filled, open-concept floor plan where every surface has been elevated: luxury vinyl throughout, open kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, high end stainless steel appliances including a VERONA GAS range, built-in ice maker, Kitchen Aid double oven, dishwasher and a WALK IN PANTRY! Love to entertain? This home offers many inside as well as outside spaces to accommodate any festivity. This well appointed home has 4 bedrooms including a massive primary suite featuring an equally massive walk in closet and bathroom including a sauna. The seamless indoor-outdoor flow draws you naturally to the private outdoor oasis, where a sparkling pool - complete with fire pits- anchors several covered lanais and an outdoor kitchen-built by Premier Outdoor Kitchen- ideal for year-round entertaining under the Florida sun. Built in 2016, this David Weekly Home offers additional highlights including a newer roof, impact windows, HVAC and a brand new hot water heater, reverse osmosis system and pool heater. The 2 1/2 car garage has plenty of room for your vehicles, bikes etc but if you need more storage there is also a storage shed tucked in the back of the property. The home's position in Tierra Verde means you're just minutes from the pristine shores of Fort De Soto Park — consistently rated among the nation's top beaches — while the vibrancy of downtown St. Petersburg, world-class dining, and cultural venues remain an easy drive away. But why would you leave? Tierra Verde is home to several popular local restaurants, marinas and bike paths. Our residents enjoy a true island lifestyle: dolphin-spotting at sunset, weekend sails on Tampa Bay, and the quiet exclusivity of a deed-restricted community that maintains its beauty year after year. Whether you're seeking a primary residence or a Florida sanctuary, 629 Cortez delivers the turnkey luxury that discerning buyers rarely find — and never forget. Schedule your private showing today.
