By Ronda M. Parag

he real estate market in Tampa Bay continues to sizzle and there is a limited availability of waterfront T homes. Located on a double lot in Sunset Beach, the two-story Key West style home built in 2007 has a total of 5,148 square feet with five bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms. The home sits on .33 acres with a 100 feet of wide-open Intracoastal waterway. The beautiful, white sandy beaches of the Gulf of Mexico are to the west.

The home is perfect for boaters, fishermen or anyone that wants to experience the true Florida lifestyle. The deep waterfront property allows access for up to a 60 foot boat with direct access to the Gulf. The dock has a 13,000 pound boat lift, complete with access to electric and fresh water.

Enter the home through a grand entry with the stairway leading into the first living level with an open floorplan for both a formal living and dining room, and finished with custom wood molding. Cozy up on a cool night in front of the fireplace. The open kitchen overlooks the family room with stunning views of the water.

The master suite offers fabulous water views and allows sunning and relaxing on the terrace. The luxury bath has double vanities, soaking tub, separate shower, two walk-in closets and a separate laundry closet with stackable washer/dryer. There is also a guest suite with a full bath, additional laundry and a powder bath on the first level. The second living level offers three additional bedrooms and two full baths, and a large bonus/loft area with terraces to escape to relax and read surrounded by the spectacular water views.

There is room for six cars in the garage and circular driveway. The home also has a salt water pool and spa, along with full-service elevator, gorgeous wood flooring, four HVAC systems and a partial generator. If you have ever wanted to live on the water, here is your chance for a slice of paradise. M
