BOATER’S PARADISE – Your Dream Dock & No Flooding! Imagine waking up to and stepping onto your private dock, and casting your line into waters teeming with fish – all before your morning coffee. This is more than a home. This is your ultimate fishing and boating escape, where every day feels like an adventure on the water. Perfectly positioned with direct Gulf access in just 8 minutes and NO bridges to navigate, this rare gem delivers everything serious boaters and anglers crave. Enjoy your own private dock with a powerful 12,000 lb Hi-Tide boat lift ready for your boat. This is an almost impossible combination: a true deep-water boat dock with zero flooding history, even through the 2024 hurricanes – priceless for peace of mind. The fully fenced yard and lush tropical vegetation across the canal create a private sanctuary that feels worlds away from everything. No typical canal “fishbowl” exposure here – just peaceful privacy and breathtaking waterfront views. Watch dolphins and manatees glide gracefully past your dock while you reel in the day’s catch. Pure magic. Step outside and you’re greeted by a sparkling remodeled heated pool surrounded by elegant travertine decking. Fire up the large natural gas grill in your stunning outdoor kitchen (complete with refrigerator), pour your favorite drink, and gather friends and family around the striking two-way fireplace. As the sun dips low, painting the sky in fiery colors, you’ll enjoy spectacular private sunset views over the water — the perfect backdrop for unforgettable evenings. Inside, the home feels equally extraordinary. Soaring ceilings and walls of glass with massive 8-foot sliders flood the space with light and seamlessly blend indoor comfort with outdoor living. Beautiful plantation shutters add elegance while framing those inspiring waterfront views. This home has been meticulously maintained and recently upgraded for worry-free living: Brand new tile roof with double underlayment (approx. $60,000 in 2024), top-of-the-line HVAC system (approx. $20,000 in 2026), tankless water heater (2025), fresh interior and exterior paint, most windows replaced in 2022 with hurricane-impact glass + full storm protection. Located in Flood Zone X, flood insurance is not required - yet the current owner’s voluntary policy (just $1,266 per year) can transfer to you. This property has never experienced water intrusion through any storms. That kind of proven resilience is pure gold for waterfront living. Tucked into a tranquil island community with only 19 waterfront homes (and just 10 allowed boat lifts), this feels exclusive and serene – yet you’re still minutes from the Pinellas Trail, world-famous Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks, Fred Howard Park, and Sunset Beach. Dock. Boat lift. No flood history. This is the rarest of finds – and it’s waiting for you. Your next chapter starts here – and it’s going to be spectacular. Are you ready to live the fisherman’s dream?
