About This Property
Park the flip-flops and bring the boat keys — this is the kind of waterfront escape you daydream about after one too many office meetings. Sitting pretty on the widest deep-water canal in Bay Colony of Terra Ceia Bay, this laid-back coastal retreat comes with the ultimate bonus: a 1997 Sea Ray Cuddy Cabin already resting on its own 12,000lb boat lift with a removable canvas cover. Because around here, sunset cruises beat rush hour every time. Inside, the vibe is pure relaxed luxury. This 2-bedroom, 2-bath waterfront hideaway welcomes you with jaw-dropping water views the second you walk through the door. The flex space in the master bedroom can be drywalled in and become a 3rd bedroom, office, or nursery with ease. The oversized 25-foot Florida room is basically one long front-row seat to paradise, wrapped in walls of windows that let the sunshine and sparkling canal views pour in all day long. There’s also a 1-car garage for the toys, gear, and fishing poles, but let’s be honest — life here is all about salty air, boat days, cold drinks, and deciding whether to fish, cruise, or just float the afternoon away. This isn’t just a home… it’s a permanent vacation with a dock attached. Nearly every inch of this home was thoughtfully updated in 2023, including plumbing, sewer lines, roof, insulation, hurricane-impact windows and doors, flooring, paint, fixtures, ceiling fans, interior doors, trim, and portions of the seawall — giving you peace of mind so you can focus on enjoying the Florida lifestyle. Conveniently located near I-275, I-75, US-41, and US-19, you’re just a short drive from the beaches, restaurants, arts, and nightlife of St. Petersburg and Sarasota — while still feeling tucked away in your own private waterfront escape. NOTE: This home did not have any flood damage from the recent 2024 storms. All renovations were completed in 2023. Schedule your showing today!
