DESCRIPTION

Welcome to “Skyway View”. First, the name says it all. Looking out from the rear of the home you have a fabulous view of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, Tampa Bay, and the Gulf of Mexico. When you first pull up in front of the home, you are greeted by a wide staircase leading to the first level front entrance. It is complimented by two garage doors on the ground level and balconies off the two front bedrooms. The home sits secluded by the trees that surround it. When you come up the stairs and walk in the front door you are met by the grand foyer and another 6-foot-wide staircase leading to the main level. At the top of the stairs, the first thing you see as you look across the living room is the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and the blue waters of Tampa Bay, right outside your wall-to-wall hurricane patio doors. The living room, dining room and kitchen are one large space perfect for a large group of family and friends. You have a gourmet kitchen with a 48-inch Wolf propane commercial stove, externally vented range hood, Thermador refrigerator and a large center island housing the sink and dishwasher. Hot water is provided by a propane powered instant hot water heater. The microwave is built into the wall cabinet to save counter space. There is also a wet bar with a separate wine cooler. The kitchen has a large pantry right in the hall. On this level is a large laundry room, a half bath and the first of four on-suite bedrooms. This bedroom opens out a covered deck overlooking the street. Speaking of decks, on the rear of the home is a thirty-five by ten-foot deck overlooking Tampa Bay with a stair leading to the pool and covered outdoor living space. Before going down to the pool, let us go upstairs. You can choose to take the stairs or the elevator. At the top of the stairs, there is a second wet bar with a beverage refrigerator. In the front of the home are two on-suite bedrooms. One of these bedrooms also has a private balcony overlooking the street. Now let us explore the master suite. It encompasses the whole rear portion of the third floor. Walk through the double doors and once again there is “the view”. Like downstairs, the whole back of the room is floor to ceiling glass. There is a sitting area to the left of the bedroom and a king-sized bed to the right, The master bath has a huge his and her walk-in shower, a soaking tub, dual sinks, and a private commode room. There is a large walk-in closet with a second lockable owner’s space. Off the balcony is a spiral staircase that leads to a gigantic rooftop deck with 360-degree views of the blue water of Tampa Bay and the island. Now let us stroll down to the ground level. There is a 4-car garage with a rear overhead door leading to the pool deck to access your toys. The pool area has a spacious covered patio under the home. Unlike recent constructions, the main part of the pool is not under the home. It is out in the sun in the backyard with your restricted beach steps outside your fence. The only part of the pool under the home is the hot tub. The property is surrounded by Florida friendly foliage. Your property extends out beyond the high-water mark of the bay and the sea grapes and sea oats provide you with another level of privacy. The home is being sold turn-key furnished with the removal of some personal items. This home would be the perfect forever home, second home or successful vacation rental.,
