Property Description

Now offered at $2,995,000, this home has been thoughtfully positioned to allow buyers the flexibility to make design updates while stepping into a property defined by quality construction and waterfront lifestyle. Built by respected builder John Wallace for his own family, this exceptional residence is a rare example of a waterfront home where you don’t just see the quality—YOU FEEL IT. (Bye Bye Builder Grade!) From the moment you step inside, the home delivers a sense of solid, quiet, custom craftsmanship that sets it apart from today’s builder-grade new construction. Buyers consistently remark on the attention to detail—from the way the floors feel underfoot, to the fully trimmed windows, to the coffered ceilings that frame the soaring entry and hallways—creating a home that feels both luxurious and remarkably warm and livable. A grand two-story entry with coffered ceilings, transom windows, wrought iron staircase, and rich custom millwork sets the tone, while solid core doors, crown molding, and built-ins throughout reflect true, enduring craftsmanship. The layout is intentionally designed to live beautifully, not just to impress. The ground floor offers expansive living space that flows directly to the pool, patio, and dock—perfect for everyday waterfront living and boating with two boat lifts (6,000 and 12,000 lb) and protected canal access to open Tampa Bay. This level also works exceptionally well for multi-generational living, featuring an elevator, two bedrooms, two full baths, a living room, and two separate bonus rooms. Upstairs, the kitchen is truly the heart of the home, opening seamlessly to informal living and dining areas. The kitchen’s solid wood cabinetry provides a timeless, high-quality foundation and makes it easy to refresh the look with paint and countertops of your choice, if desired. The kitchen features a full Thermador appliance suite, a massive granite island with prep sink, wine cooler, pull-out storage, a separate counter with seating, a triple sink with pass-through to the living room, and a breakfast nook. Entertaining is effortless with a separate service kitchen and a formal dining room for special occasions. The second-floor living area opens to a balcony overlooking the water—perfect for relaxing, hosting, or enjoying the constant rhythm of boating life. Beyond beauty, this home was built for serious peace of mind, featuring insulated concrete form (ICF) construction, reinforced pilings, a double sea wall, elevated lot, hurricane-impact windows and doors, hurricane-rated garage doors, flow-through garage vents, and a whole-house Generac generator. Additional features include an elevator, heated saltwater pool and spa, composite dock, reclaimed water irrigation, and an active Sentricon system. Located in a walkable, social waterfront neighborhood, this is a home that defies expectations—timeless in its bones, easy to personalize cosmetically, and truly something you have to experience in person to appreciate.
