Life on the water takes on new meaning here, where a saltwater canal offers direct, effortless access to Tampa Bay—and where dolphins and manatees occasionally glide past your backyard like curious neighbors dropping in to say hello. One of the few waterfront communities free from HOA restrictions, this property affords owners true flexibility—whether pursuing long-term rental, short-term rental, or full-time residency—without the constraints of restrictive governance. This tastefully reimagined four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home blends sophistication with laid-back Florida living. Travertine flooring adorns the first level, while warm wood adds character upstairs. The kitchen is a true showpiece, boasting upgraded cabinetry, premium granite countertops, and custom live-edge shelving. Culinary enthusiasts will swoon over the stainless appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, dual-zone wine cooler, double drawer dishwasher, and Wi-Fi-connected range and microwave. Every bathroom has been thoughtfully updated with elegant vanities, contemporary fixtures, fresh tilework, and sleek glass shower doors in the primary suite.At the back of the home, a spacious sunroom offers approximately 300 square feet of additional living space, while providing unobstructed views of the water and beautifully landscaped yard. It's the ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee, relax with a good book, or unwind while taking in a stunning sunset. Step outside to a shaded backyard oasis featuring a custom water feature, an outdoor shower, and a concrete pad wired and plumbed for your dream outdoor kitchen. A two-car garage with attached workshop and an extra-long driveway round out the practical amenities. The main living area has no history of flood intrusion; minor water intrusion occurred in the garage and sunroom during Hurricane Helene, and full disclosure is available upon request. Conveniently located near Tampa International Airport, sparkling Gulf beaches, and the lively South Tampa / Downtown scenes, this home balances waterfront tranquility with everyday accessibility.
