Rare South Tampa Elevated Waterfront Property with No Hurricane Damage -- a true gem in the coveted Bel Mar neighborhood. Nestled along one of South Tampa's most desirable tree-lined streets, this elevated waterfront residence perfectly combines luxury, comfort, and tranquility. With over 3,400 square feet on an oversized lot, the home offers direct access to Old Tampa Bay, where dolphins and manatees are frequent visitors, and every sunset feels like your own private show. From your backyard, hop on your Jet Ski and arrive at a quiet, sandy beach in less than five minutes -- the perfect way to unwind and enjoy the ultimate Florida lifestyle.
Inside, elegant craftsmanship and water views abound. The home features five spacious bedrooms and four full bathrooms designed for both entertaining and relaxation. The first-floor den or office includes built-in shelving, surround sound, and an ensuite bath, offering flexibility for guests or work-from-home needs. The chef's kitchen is a standout with granite countertops, high-end appliances including gas cooktop, floor to ceiling cabinetry, a cozy breakfast nook and gleaming hardwood floors that flow seamlessly into the formal living and dining rooms. The family room exudes warmth and sophistication with a granite-outlined gas fireplace, hardwood floors, and French doors opening to a serene backyard with room for a pool. Crown molding abut the ten foot ceilings throughout the first floor and add an elegant finishing touch. The front door--an art piece from one of Tampa Bay's historic cigar factories--creates a truly distinctive entry.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers sweeping water views, his-and-her closets, and a spa-inspired bathroom with dual vanities, a garden tub overlooking the bay, and a separate walk-in shower. Enjoying your morning coffee on your private balcony is the perfect way to start the day.
