580 Johns Pass Ave., Madeira Beach, FL 33708

Enjoy a sun-filled, and sun-fueled, lifestyle at a location featuring unobstructed water views from every room, easy access from the home’s private dock to the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the quaint, barrier island community of Madeira Beach as its neighborhood. Featuring four bedrooms, two full bathrooms and two half-baths, the 4,482 square foot home takes full advantage of its spectacular views, and equally stunning sunsets, thanks to soaring ceilings, an abundance of windows and sliding glass doors and balconies on both the second and third floors. This enviable residence offers the added appeal of representing a more energy efficient way to live that is significantly cost-effective, thanks to rooftop-mounted solar energy panels. Average electric bills run a modest $14 per month! Porcelain tile floors and stylish light fixtures keep the interior light and bright while the open floor plan lets the main floor living space flow so that everyone is visually, and vocally, connected at all times. The spacious kitchen is well-outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances and equally well designed with lots of counter and storage space. The striking entry is defined by pavers connecting the driveway to an elevated front door that is accessed by a striking, travertine staircase highlighted with wrought iron handrails. Constructed on a finger of land extending from the island, the contemporary dwelling is accessible solely via a cul de sac, ensuring plenty of privacy and only minimal traffic impact. Residents are close to the beachfront yet well-buffered from crowds. The lower level of this living space houses a four-car garage as well as a workshop. A hydraulic elevator whisks everyone, and everything, seamlessly between all levels. The backyard includes a grassy parcel, a paved patio that encompasses a deck that is both partially exposed and partially under cover, and a hot tub adjacent to a sun shelf that provides a cool place to soak while soaking in the sun. The dock accommodates up to a 60-foot boat and is equipped with a 13K lift. With the installation of hurricane-impact windows in 2017 and a new roof in 2018, residents can expect years of carefree living ahead. Additional amenities include a step-up bathtub in the master bathroom, walk-in closets, a separate laundry room and interior and exterior ceiling fans for year-round comfort. Madeira Beach has been ranked among the best beaches in the U.S. and is home to John’s Pass Village & Boardwalk, a complex comprised of more than 100 shops, restaurants, water-related activities such as parasailing, jet skiing, fishing, dolphin-watching tours and more. This community’s coastal location places it within easy proximity to downtown St. Petersburg, a destination renowned for world-class museums, its new architectural wonder, the St. Pete Pier, award-winning craft breweries and celebrated restaurants featuring steak and seafood specialties to barbecue and international cuisine. St. Petersburg is also home to Major League Baseball’s current American League champions, the Tampa Bay Rays.
