Property Description


0.25 Acres Lot
Built in 1974
For Sale - Active
1 Units

This well-appointed home is located on Carolina Ave NE in the beautiful Venetian Isles. The moment you pull in the driveway you are greeted by lush landscaping and the comfort of knowing this home did not flood during recent hurricanes. Entering the home leads to a large living room and dining area that overlooks the pristine waters of Tampa Bay. The kitchen is centrally located with a breakfast bar, gas range, and sink overlooking the water, and flows seamlessly to a second living space that is an ideal location for a bonus room or office. This home features 3 large bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, a guest powder bathroom, and a newly added, spacious indoor utility room. The primary bedroom is large with water views, an en-suite bathroom, and a walk-in closet. But the main feature of this property is the backyard, where no expense was spared to create the finest outdoor living space Florida has to offer. Spend your weekends soaking in the brand new custom Sekas pool with a sunken heated spa. Enjoy fishing off your large dock and brand new elevated seawall. Or enjoy the new turfed backyard and paver patio under the privacy offered by the new landscaping and large privacy hedges. Plenty of room to park a deep vessel or add a boatlift of any desired size. The canal offers protection and unobstructed direct access to Tampa Bay. Conveniently located with proximity to top-rated schools, shopping, and one mile from the upscale neighborhood market. Kayak or paddleboard from your backyard to Weedon Island Preserve. Access Downtown St Petersburg by boat, golf cart, or even a bike ride, only 4 miles away. 25 quick minutes to our world-famous Beaches, 2 major international airports, and Albert Whitted private airport. Venetian Isles is an exceptional deed-restricted neighborhood with an optional HOA.
