Bordered by trees, a park, and waterfront, this premier end-unit luxury townhome with private pool offers privacy, quality custom finishes, extraordinary boating access, and a front-row connection to the protected natural beauty of Weedon Island Preserve. The setting in this gated community feels wonderfully private and immersed in nature yet is centrally located and mere minutes from both downtown St. Petersburg and Tampa, beaches, airports, and Tampa Bay's best boating. Inside, all four bedrooms feature ensuite baths, complemented by a convenient lower-level half bath. Custom built for a pro athlete (and wine lover), the home was designed for both entertaining and refined modern comfort and features a 500-bottle climate-controlled WINE ROOM, FIREPLACES in the dining room and primary suite, custom cabinetry and built-ins, detailed trim work and crown molding, expansive WALK-IN CLOSETS, and a whole-home AUDIO/VISUAL SYSTEM. The gourmet kitchen offers stainless-steel appliances, a warming drawer, icemaker, new Sub-Zero refrigerator, oversized center island with bar seating, and luxurious 2½-inch-thick Pearl granite countertops and backsplash. A NEW ROOF (2026) and two HVAC systems (2022) with air purification provide added peace of mind. The property has never flooded, and current flood insurance policy is $1224/year (assumable). The HOA is just $660/month. Boaters will love the private BOAT SLIP with 13,000-pound lift, the deep-water channel off the dock and no fixed bridges to open Gulf waters. Whether you choose to boat, kayak or paddleboard, you have more than 3,000 acres of Weedon Island's remarkable coastal habitat to explore just outside your back door. Enjoy tranquil views across a mangrove lined shore where dolphins, manatees, tarpon, and abundant aquatic and birdlife are frequent visitors. This home is truly a unique, hidden gem not to be missed.
