One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. A bit of Old Florida on Historic Terra Ceia island. This Key West style 3 story home was custom built in 2006 on 1.4 acres. Enjoy gentle Gulf breezes from the gallery decks that surround the main living spaces on the 2nd floor, and a view of Terra Ceia Bay from your private owners suite deck on the 3rd floor. This home has hardwood and travertine floors throughout the public spaces and 10 foot ceilings. Wood cabinets and a uniquely beautiful granite were used for all the cabinetry in the house. The ground floor 'recreation room' space is finished with travertine floors, custom tile inlay and a lovely stained glass window. There are two over sized garage bays with plenty of room to park 2 cars in tandem on each side of the ground floor. Its location on peaceful, uncrowded Terra Ceia Island offers quiet relaxation, yet it's a short drive over the Skyway to southern Pinellas county, St. Petersburg and the beaches as well as south to Bradenton and Anna Maria. The home does contain defective (aka Chinese) drywall.
