Description

Tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac, this private and gated Belleair Beach waterfront residence is a true coastal showpiece, framed by professional tropical landscaping and exceptional curb appeal. Rich in character and history, the home was featured in the 2014 film Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks starring Gena Rowlands and Cheyenne Jackson, an unmistakable testament to its architectural presence and timeless appeal. An inviting courtyard leads to custom hurricane-rated Brazilian hardwood double doors that open into a grand foyer adorned with an inlaid marble design and breathtaking Intracoastal views beyond. Inside, custom columns, art niches, and soaring 10-foot ceilings-rising to 20 feet in the dramatic family room with exposed wood beams and a gas fireplace-create a home that is both elegant and welcoming. The traditional floor plan includes a formal dining room adjacent to the kitchen, ideal for entertaining. The dine-in kitchen is beautifully appointed with a Subzero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, Thermador professional gas range with convection oven, a walk-in pantry, center island, butler's pantry, and seamless access to the covered lanai for effortless indoor-outdoor gatherings. A flexible room off the family room, complete with a wet bar, ice maker, wine cooler, and pool-access half bath, offers endless possibilities as a music room, office, or additional bedroom, with French doors leading outside. A convenient powder room is located near the garage entry. Upstairs, the primary suite is a serene retreat with a sitting area, Juliet balcony, dual custom walk-in closets, double vanities, walk-in shower, water closet, and a separate soaking tub room. An upstairs laundry room adds convenience, while additional bedrooms feature outdoor access, generous closet space, and well-appointed baths. Multiple outdoor vantage points, including a covered balcony, sundeck, and observation tower offers postcard-worthy sunrises, sunsets, and frequent visits from dolphins and manatees near the island bird sanctuary. Relax beside the Pebble Tec pool after a day on the water, or take advantage of the deep-water slip suitable for a yacht, platform lift, and 10,000-pound boat lift. With two AC units, a whole-house generator, under-house storage, and streetlights, every detail has been thoughtfully considered. Kayak or paddleboard to nearby islands, stroll to the community center with playground and pickleball courts, and enjoy close proximity to the beach and Belleair Causeway for easy access to shopping and dining. This extraordinary waterfront estate is truly a must-see.
