Your key to the island lifestyle is right here on an oversized corner lot in the desirable Monte Cristo neighborhood on the island paradise of Tierra Verde. This home was high and dry and completely undamaged from Helene and Milton. The indoor living here is exceptional, with light, bright, and cheery interior spaces in a split floor plan, and the outdoor living is unparalleled, with a giant screened porch opening onto a backyard pool area that is nothing short of a private oasis. Gorgeous waterfalls cascade into a tremendous sparkling saltwater pool, self-cleaning and magnificent, with an inviting spa, plus a sun shelf and bench, for perfect in-water entertaining. The sprawling pool deck is surrounded by multiple outdoor gathering spaces, including a bar and a built-in barbeque area, truly your personal tropical sanctuary. In addition to the outdoor living and entertaining areas, there is also a very sizable side fenced yard, so pets or avid gardeners can have their own slice of paradise, as well. When you walk through the front door, you are greeted by a spacious great room, boasting a shellstone-clad fireplace, vaulted ceilings, and a view through the pocketing sliders out to the rear oasis. The bright and airy kitchen also opens on the back patio for exceptional entertaining and features high ceilings, a skylight, an eating area, and plenty of room for an island, should you want to add one, and two of the three bedrooms open to patio with views of the pool as well. In the master you’ll find a spacious suite with a walk-in, frameless shower, dual vanities, and an impressive walk-in closet, while in the other poolside bedroom at the other end of the home features plenty of space and shares the surprisingly stylish guest bath with the third bedroom, currently configured as an office. The two-car garage has a great deal of workspace and room for the toys that make island living so much fun. The home has impact-rated windows, and newer, well-maintained systems throughout, and the meticulous care the owners have taken is apparently in every corner. In addition, the flood insurance policy on this home is currently less than $900 per year and is assumable. The island of Tierra Verde is one of the sought-after communities in Tampa Bay, being perfectly located on the Pinellas Bayway between mainland St. Petersburg and the white sands of the Gulf Beaches. Surrounded by supreme boating water and stunning views, the island offers an unmatched lifestyle, with 11 excellent restaurants right on the island, tennis courts, a playground, and a vibrant community, plus, Tierra Verde is the gateway to Ft. DeSoto, featuring miles of walking/biking/running/blading trails, award-winning pristine beaches, world-class kayaking, and so much more. Cross over the new bridge and you'll find the Isla del Sol Yacht and Country Club, and you'll be within minutes of historic Pass-a-Grille, St. Pete Beach, and endless Gulf-front fun. In the other direction you have super quick access to 275, putting the vibrancy of downtown St. Petersburg within a short drive, and you'll have quick access to multiple airports, including TPA, PIE, and SPG. Monte Cristo is a neighborhood ripe with multi-million-dollar homes and provides for tropical living in an elegant setting.
