In the magnificent island community of Bayway Isles, this single-level, 4-bedroom, split-floorpan home offers the opportunity for an outstanding waterfront lifestyle in one of St. Petersburg's most desired neighborhoods. With a massive, newer seawall, oversized dock area, multiple wet dockage options, and a huge lift, the boating possibilities are nearly endless. The home's island location, on a deep, wide, and protected canal, provides quick access to the open waters of Tampa Bay, and just under the Tierra Verde bridge you'll find the Intracoastal, the Pass-a-Grille Channel, and the open Gulf of Mexico, for truly excellent adventures in boating. The home itself offers a highly-desirable floorpan, all on a single level. Arriving through the front walled garden entrance, you'll be greeted by vaulted ceilings and open, light, and bright spaces. At one end of the home, you'll find two secondary bedrooms, one of which is waterfront, and they share a full bath, with a separate 1/2 bath for guests. The house is anchored by a central kitchen, opening on to the informal dining area and family room on one side and the formal dinning room and living room on the other. The elegant layout of the home provides water views from almost every room. At the opposite end of the home from the secondary bedrooms, a pocket door opens from the living room to the master suite, which consists of two bedrooms, a large master bath with walled privacy garden, and a giant walk-in closet, complete with built-in vanity. Currently one of the rooms is configured as an office, while the larger waterfront room serves as the master bedroom. Not only does the extra-large two-car garage have room enough for tons of storage and a large workbench, but there is also a sizable separate workshop/storage room, cooled by an A/C wall unit, just between the garage and the laundry room. The rear of the home boasts a sparkling pool with a screened enclosure and a large pool deck and patio with southern exposure for perfect year-round enjoyment. Bayway Isles is truly one of St. Petersburg's most coveted locations. An island community featuring a 24-hour manned guard gate, it's located right off the Pinellas Bayway, moments from I275, offering the perfect combination of island life and amazing convenience, as it puts you in easy reach of Downtown St. Petersburg, several international airports, the perennially-award-winning white sand beaches of Pass-a-Grill, Isla del Sol Country Yacht and Country Club, miles of multi-use trails, kayaking, and beachwalkiag at the pristine beaches of Ft. De Soto.
