Property Description

Discover coastal luxury at its finest in this updated 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom waterfront residence with a 2-car garage, ideally situated on Howard Drive — the only naturally formed island on Belleair Beach. 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 lushly landscaped front courtyard welcomes you with coastal charm and privacy before leading into the home’s bright, open interior. Inside, every detail has been thoughtfully designed and recently upgraded for elegance, comfort, and efficiency. The chef’s kitchen is a true centerpiece, showcasing 2025 Dura Supreme cabinetry with a lifetime manufacturer’s warranty, high-grade exotic Cristallo Quartzite countertops cut from a single slab, and state-of-the-art Thermador and Bosch appliances, including a natural gas range, French door refrigerator, built-in microwave, and dual wine cooler. 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. Outdoors, the backyard oasis features a sparkling pool with a waterfall feature, surrounded by lush tropical landscaping perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Additional highlights include a 2025 LG washer and natural gas dryer, energy-efficient water softener, new pool equipment under full warranty, gas water heater, and an ADT smart security system with Google cameras, all combining to provide comfort, safety, and modern convenience. Adding tremendous future value and investment potential, the seller is including fully approved architectural plans by ArcDesign, one of the area’s premier design firms, for a second-story addition.
