429 3RD AVENUE N

Description

High and dry, never flooded. A truly one-of-a-kind property with water views and direct access to the Port 32 Marina, right from your back yard, but without the trouble and responsibility of maintaining your own seawall or dock. This is a piece of history and a rare opportunity to own one of the most unique lots on the island paradise of Tierra Verde. The mid-century modern house was built in 1967 and is a testament to the high style of Tierra Verde's early history, the days when Frank Sinatra, Guy Lombardo, Marlene Dietrich, and other stars would gather at the old Port O'Call resort marina. With the original master bedroom on the ground floor and a second master on the 2nd floor, plus a guest bedroom and an office, the home offers a wide range of possibilities for exceptional island living. The pool is set in a generous patio overlooking the marina, and you'll enjoy water views from the main living areas and the upstairs master. Priced $300,000 less than the sale price of the home two doors down, which was sold at lot value, this house offers an affordable way to create a new headquarters for the perfect island life. Tierra Verde is one of the most sought-after communities in Tampa Bay, being perfectly located on the Pinellas Bayway between mainland St. Petersburg and the white sands of the Gulf Beaches. Surrounded by supreme boating water and stunning views, the island offers an unmatched lifestyle, with 11 excellent restaurants right on the island, tennis courts, a playground, and a vibrant community, plus, Tierra Verde is the gateway to Ft. DeSoto, featuring miles of walking/biking/running/blading trails, award-winning pristine beaches, world-class kayaking, and so much more. Cross over the new bridge and you'll find the Isla del Sol Yacht and Country Club, and you'll be within minutes of historic Pass-a-Grille, St. Pete Beach, and endless Gulf-front fun. In the other direction you have super quick access to 275, putting the vibrancy of downtown St. Petersburg within a short drive, and you'll have quick access to multiple airports, including TPA, PIE, and SPG. This is truly a rare opportunity to own a piece of the island paradise of Tierra Verde. We don't expect this to last long, so call your Realtor today.
