Description

Located in the highly desirable Bay Crest community, this beautifully renovated WATERFRONT home offers stunning Westerly views of the canals leading to Tampa Bay. Originally a builder’s model, it sits on one of the community’s two “premium lots” at the end of the canal, providing unobstructed sunset views from the dock. This exceptional property boasts 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a pool, standalone hot tub, garage, additional carport, fence, dock, boat lift, and a massive Florida room with 669 square feet of extra living space, bringing the total to over 2,300 square feet. As you step inside, you'll be greeted by gorgeous coastal wood plank tile flooring and freshly painted walls. The home’s modern kitchen has been beautifully transformed with natural wood cabinets, soft-close drawers, sleek quartz countertops, and brand-new stainless-steel appliances. The living room, centered around a charming wood-burning fireplace with a 24-year-old mantle, adds a touch of character. Each bedroom is generously sized with ample closet space. The highlight of the home is the outdoor oasis which begins with the expansive Florida room with Pebblestone floors and panoramic windows perfect for entertaining! This leads to a covered outdoor seating area, sparkling pool, and the dock—ideal for enjoying cocktails while watching dolphins and boats at sunset. On the side of the house, you'll find the hot tub surrounded by tropical trees, including banana, grapefruit, pineapple, and even blueberry plants! The home has been upgraded with a new HVAC and 38 hurricane-rated Weather Tight PPG windows, offering enhanced protection and energy efficiency. The roof, installed in 2016 with 40-year shingles, adds durability. The backyard is truly spectacular featuring a stunning heated pool with a new pebble tech finish and a relaxing waterfall feature. The propane tank heats the spa in just 15 minutes while the pool is primarily heated by the 7 solar panels. Additional upgrades include a B-hyve Wi-Fi-enabled lawn sprinkler system, and a mini-split HVAC system with heat pump installed in the Florida room (March 2025). For boating enthusiasts, the expansive composite dock features a 7,000 lb. boat lift, two davits for personal watercraft, and the owners are leaving kayak racks and outdoor sheds for the new owners. The property is fully fenced for privacy, creating a serene escape in this prime waterfront location.
