This exclusive location offers the highest elevation in the area and is renowned for having the deepest water on Belleair Beach, providing both exceptional boating conditions and long-term peace of mind. Set on a spacious 0.26-acre parcel—one of the largest in Belleair Beach and nearby waterfront communities—this property features 100 feet of deep-water canal frontage with direct access to the Gulf of Mexico. The hurricane-rated dock accommodates two boats up to 45 feet and includes the ability to add lifts for boats, jet skis, or paddleboards.

A custom-built pantry and laundry cabinetry add to the home’s seamless functionality. The spacious primary suite offers a spa-like retreat, featuring all-natural marble walls, a soaking tub, a modern double vanity, and a large waterfront window that fills the space with natural light. Czech crystal chandeliers in the living room, dining area, primary bedroom, and en suite add a touch of refined luxury. Each bedroom includes Closets by Design custom systems, ensuring ample and stylish storage. The home has been extensively modernized with a 2024 roof with a 50-year GAF manufacturer’s warranty, 2023 Daikin energy-efficient HVAC system (plus a secondary unit for the bedrooms), hurricane-resistant windows and sliding glass doors, and a fully updated electrical system.
