WATERFRONT DREAMS = FULFILLED. This extraordinary house has been the trophy home for a pillar of the business community and it's time for a new captain to take the helm. This gem has been lovingly maintained and upgraded over the past 30 years with well over a million dollars spent. Seller will provide FINANCING if desired. Most waterfront homes have views along the back only looking straight out but this home is positioned to maximize the water views. The walls were made of glass and in frames mounted on piano hinges so that the entire home has views over the mangroves of the wide Kreamer Bayou. Amazing walls of windows on 2nd and 3rd floor. The three floors are serviced by a newer elevator, 2 Australian slab spindle staircases and 5,670 SF of decks. NOTE: Behind house is FULL THROTTLE you can JET SKI, WATERSKI OR TUBE BEHIND HOUSE! 20 minutes to open Gulf and most is FULL THROTTLE FROM HOUSE! As you enter the gated compound you are greeted by the most massive front porch imaginable that is the size of many small homes and has views of the water, dining area, a seating area with deck to backyard. In the motor court you have an oversized 3 car garage with a 1085 sf trophy office (not in mls SF) above with an option for an additional bathroom (plumbed and ready). This office has meeting room, large executive office and entry area. This office could also be used as a rental apartment or a mother in law suite. The first floor 2220sf (not included in mls SF) is perfect for entertaining and has recently had an extensive renovation with commercial grade industrial style ac ducting flooring etc. The full sized bar and entertainment floor has windows looking out over the back patio and full tiki bar overlooking the bayou. The 2nd floor has a full mother in law suite/guest room that the elevator services and it's own private south deck overlooking the water. The 2nd floor has THREE living areas, island kitchen and dining room surrounded by the windows. Now to the exquisite construction: This home is an ARK believed to be able to withstand 185mph winds. The Australian Shipbuilder brought all internal beams from Australia and hand distressed each one in a luxurious strapping fashion. The beams enhance the luxurious feel of the waterfront views and are the same ones you see in brand new construction just far more than anyone could afford at todays prices. EACH LEVEL was wrapped in Fiberglass during construction so electric bills under $300! The master suite has it's own living room on the 3rd floor with massive closet and commanding water views and deck. The dock has a 13,000lb boat lift, wet slip and room for expansion. The backyard is large enough to add a beautiful infinity pool (renderings in progress) and there is a luxury tiki bar. Some notable upgrades: Hurricane strength windows 2019, new seawall 2009, lower level remodel 2019, 50 year standing seam roof. Home sits at the end of a street with zero traffic, sunrise AND sunset views from the decks due to the design of the home, easy to visit sponge docks and and waterfront restaurants by boat (just a few minutes). The lifestyle of this home is unparalleled and once you understand what a treasure it is you will NEVER find another to replace it. This has been the trophy home of one of the most reputable automobile entrepreneurs in Tampa Bay and he wishes it's new captain fair weather and safe journeys!
