1375 PINELLAS BAYWAY S 39 Some waterfront homes offer a beautiful setting; this one delivers an exceptional boating lifestyle in coveted Tierra Verde, Florida, complete with a private, owner-owned, deeded deep-water boat slip and an 8, 000-pound solar-powered boat lift just steps from the door. Set along a protected natural cove framed by lush mangroves and tropical landscaping, this beautifully maintained residence showcases a distinctive Southwestern-inspired design with warm architectural character, moments from the community pool. Here, your boat is part of the home: step outside, cast off and be on the water in minutes. Spend your days exploring the islands, anchoring at a sandbar or arriving by boat for waterfront dining, then return to your own private dock at sunset. Inside, rich hardwood flooring, custom wood cabinetry and granite countertops set a tone of thoughtful craftsmanship. The light-filled open layout flows effortlessly from the gourmet kitchen into the main living spaces and out to a covered waterfront deck, an expansive sun deck and a lower patio, tiered outdoor spaces made for hosting friends, unwinding and taking in spectacular Gulf Coast sunsets. Designed for low-maintenance luxury, the home features concrete block construction, hurricane-impact windows and a recently updated metal roof that together offer lasting peace of mind. The oversized garage has a pristine epoxy-finished floor, and a whole-home water softener adds everyday comfort. Approximately 260 square feet of bonus space provides flexibility beyond the primary living area, easily adapting to a media room, fitness studio, home office or quiet retreat. It is a home that lets you spend your time on the water rather than maintaining the house. Boaters will appreciate direct, bridge-free access to Tampa Bay and the Gulf, with Shell Key Preserve, Egmont Key, sandbars, waterfront restaurants and renowned fishing waters all within easy reach. Dolphins, manatees and native coastal birds are frequent visitors, making the waterfront feel like a private nature preserve, while Fort De Soto Park's beaches, biking trails, fishing piers, kayak launches and dog beach are only minutes away. St. Pete Beach and downtown St. Petersburg offer exceptional dining, shopping, museums and year-round entertainment nearby. Whether you are relocating to Florida, seeking a seasonal retreat or a lock-and-leave second home, or searching from abroad for a turnkey Gulf Coast property, this residence blends distinctive design, waterfront luxury and resort-style amenities with immediate access to world-class beaches and downtown culture. Tierra Verde's island setting keeps you close to it all while feeling a world apart. Schedule your private showing today.
