Property Description

Own a true piece of Tierra Verde history with this iconic Mid-Century Modern residence, originally built as the "Islander II" model home by Wadsworth Homes. This remarkable property includes the original blueprints and even the builder's original metal printing plate used to create the home's advertising flyers—a rare and unique connection to the island's past. Situated on a spacious corner lot, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features a desirable split bedroom floor plan and an open-concept design filled with natural light. Floor-to-ceiling windows and expansive sliding glass doors seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living while showcasing the home's timeless architectural style. The kitchen offers wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and a full complement of appliances. A convenient pass-through window with sliding glass panels opens directly to the outdoor patio bar area, making entertaining effortless. The spacious primary suite features direct access to the pool and patio through sliding glass doors, an en-suite bath, and an impressive 7' x 7' walk-in closet. The secondary bedrooms are generously sized, including one with a large walk-in closet and the other features pocket sliding glass doors leading to the screened porch. Designed for entertaining, the oversized screened lanai features attractive paver flooring and granite-topped bar counters, providing the perfect setting for gatherings with family and friends. Additional upgrades include impact-resistant windows in the living room and bedrooms, along with hurricane shutters protecting all sliding glass doors and the front entry. Step outside to your own tropical retreat, surrounded by lush landscaping and mature plantings. The heated pool with spillover spa is complemented by a beautiful paver deck, creating an inviting outdoor oasis. From the patio and pool area, you'll currently enjoy views of the Pass-a-Grille Channel. An oversized one-car garage and expansive workshop provides abundant space for hobbies, projects, and storage. The large circular driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles. Tierra Verde is one of Florida's most desirable coastal communities, perfectly positioned between St. Pete Beach and Fort De Soto Park—both consistently recognized among the nation's top beaches. Residents enjoy easy access to vibrant downtown St. Petersburg, renowned for its waterfront parks, world-class museums, arts and culture, and exceptional dining ranging from casual waterfront eateries to fine dining destinations. This is a rare opportunity to own a distinctive architectural home with historical significance in one of Tampa Bay's most sought-after island communities.
