lit by an artistic designer chandelier. Multiple windows on
the exterior wall reveal views of Tampa Bay. Across this open
room is the sitting area with space for sofas, chairs and living
room furnishings. A gas fire feature is set into the center of an
interior wall in place of a traditional hearth to create a dramatic
focal point.
Glass panel French doors open from the main living area to

the swimming pool and the waters of Tampa Bay. The outdoor
area features a built-in kitchen with weather-resistant stainless

in a designer-tiled shower, along with two large walk-in closets
complete the master suite. The three en-suite bedrooms on the
second floor are enhanced by an upstairs family room. A fifth
bedroom that can be used as a study or den is located on the
first floor.
Stone gray patio pavers surround the home’s sparkling inground,

area to the water’s edge of Bayou Grande for direct boating
access to the Gulf of Mexico. This waterfront location offers
the best in Florida living. 9
