Priced at current appraised value, this expansive 1.5-acre waterfront estate is a rare and remarkable sanctuary—an idyllic retreat where luxury meets tranquility. Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, behind a canopy of mature tropical landscaping and grand oaks, this hidden haven offers the ultimate in privacy and peace, nestled directly on the quiet shoreline of Boca Ciega Bay. From the moment you enter the tree-lined, columned, cobblestone circular driveway, the outside world fades away and a sense of calm settles in. Wrapped in nature’s beauty, this secluded estate delivers uninterrupted panoramic water views and soul-stirring sunsets that feel like your own private show—each evening more breathtaking than the last. Located just off the prestigious Historic Park Street in the sought-after Jungle Terrace area of West St. Petersburg, the property feels worlds away—yet you're just minutes from the award-winning beaches of St. Pete/Clearwater, vibrant downtown St. Petersburg, and a 30-minute drive to Tampa International Airport. Step into the backyard and you’ll discover a resort-style waterfront paradise designed for pure relaxation and effortless entertaining.
