7811 BAY Drive A Rarely does a property have this level of privacy, space, and luxury just minutes from the heart of Tampa. Nestled behind a private gate on more than 1.2 acres, this exceptional waterfront estate delivers a true resort lifestyle with the convenience of city living. Built in 2020 with commercial-grade concrete block construction, this custom residence offers 3 bedrooms, a dedicated office or den (easily converted to a fourth bedroom), and 3 full bathrooms. Located in a non-HOA community with no rental restrictions, it presents a unique opportunity as a primary residence, luxury retreat, or investment property. A custom blown-glass front door welcomes you into an expansive open floor plan where soaring ceilings, Turkish marble flooring, and thoughtfully designed living spaces create an elegant setting for both everyday living and entertaining. The gourmet kitchen features granite countertops, a large center island with prep sink, brand-new refrigerator and dishwasher, newer oven, range and microwave, an oversized walk-in pantry, and a custom dry bar accented by a built-in aquarium viewing feature. The luxurious primary suite is a private sanctuary with two oversized custom walk-in closets, remote-controlled privacy blinds, custom aquarium viewing wall cutouts, and a spa-inspired bath featuring cultured stone finishes and an impressive hidden walk-through shower. Step outside and discover what truly sets this property apart. The expansive 1.2+ acre homesite provides a level of privacy rarely found in Tampa. Mature landscaping, generous green space, and waterfront views create an estate-like setting that feels worlds away while remaining close to everything. The screened saltwater pool and lanai were designed for year-round enjoyment, complete with a bamboo plank ceiling, new recessed lighting, new ceiling fans, a 2025 outdoor kitchen, perimeter bug spray system, custom stone privacy wall with built-in fireplaces, and a new pool pump and heater. Whether hosting guests or enjoying a quiet evening under the stars, this outdoor living space feels like your own private resort. Water enthusiasts will appreciate direct water access with the opportunity to add a dock for kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply enjoying the peaceful waterfront setting. Additional luxury features include a whole-home audio system, security camera system, water filtration and softener system, roof-mounted cellular signal booster, internet booster, updated landscape lighting, hurricane-impact tri-fold sliding glass doors, and an oversized garage featuring epoxy flooring, custom cabinetry, overhead storage, and a convenient dog wash station.
