Property Description

This exceptional WATERFRONT POOL home has recently been renovated and now features 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a half pool bath along with a private den/bonus room. Perfectly positioned on a prime saltwater canal with direct access to Tampa Bay, this home offers breathtaking nightly sunsets, dolphin sightings, and seasonal fishing for trout, redfish, and snook right from your backyard. Step outside to enjoy the solar-heated pool and bring your boat, which can be conveniently stored on the coveted $10,000 lb covered boat lift. The primary bedroom boasts stunning views of the backyard and water, a large walk-in closet, and a bath that offers dual sinks and a walk-in shower. The exceptionally large second bedroom provides ample space and also features a walk-in closet. The two additional bedrooms, which feature their own side entrance and beautiful bath, are charming and cozy, perfect for guests or family members who want more privacy. The home showcases a beautifully renovated kitchen complete with elegant quartz countertops, solid wood cabinetry featuring pull-out shelving, spice racks, lazy Susans, a large walk-in pantry, and stainless steel appliances, including double ovens and a Bosch dishwasher. Adjacent to the kitchen is a dry bar. A versatile waterfront den overlooks the canal and could easily function as a bonus room, gym, office, playroom, or 5th bedroom. The indoor laundry room is spacious and includes additional cabinetry and ample folding space. The outdoor space is spectacular featuring a brick pavered pool deck which flows into a partially screened and covered lanai, providing a comfortable, shaded retreat where you can relax or dine outdoors while enjoying the fresh coastal air without the nuisance of bugs or direct Florida sun. The backyard also features low-maintenance turf and a generous side yard, creating additional space for pets, play, or entertaining. A separate storage shed adds convenience and keeps tools, pool equipment, and boating gear neatly organized for easy maintenance. Additional upgrades include a circular driveway for abundant parking, a new HVAC system (2024), a new water heater (2023), and a durable metal roof installed six years ago. Bay Crest is a sought-after waterfront community with no deed restrictions and a private boat ramp available exclusively to residents. Enjoy a short boat ride to popular waterfront dining and destinations such as Bahama Breeze, Hula Bay, Salt Shack, Safety Harbor, and the St. Pete Pier. Conveniently located near the Veterans Expressway, I-275, International Plaza Shopping Mall, the Westshore Business District, downtown Tampa, Tampa International Airport, Rocky Point Golf Course, Skyway Park Sports Facility, Berkley Prep, area beaches, and more, this move-in ready waterfront home offers the very best of Tampa Bay living.
