4991 BACOPA LANE S 502

Elevated above Boca Ciega Bay, this fifth-floor residence pairs panoramic water views with the rarely offered Bougainvillea floor plan — 1,516 heated square feet of flexible, light-filled living space in the gated community of Bacopa Bay. The home is vacant, deep-cleaned, and ready to be finished to your taste. Carpet has been removed and the subfloor prepped, so the next owner selects the flooring rather than inheriting someone else’s choice; three flooring quotes have already been gathered and are available during your due diligence. Classic tile runs through the main living areas. Floor-to-ceiling sliders open to the expansive verandah from the living room, primary suite, and den, blurring the line between inside and out and framing the bay from every angle. The kitchen is appointed with granite counters, a generous walk-in pantry, and a pass-through that keeps the cook connected to the gathering. A flexible third space adapts as a formal dining room, den, or home office. Hurricane shutters protect all exposed openings. Two assigned parking spaces plus guest parking. Bacopa Bay delivers a true resort setting behind the gate: heated waterfront pools, a tranquil spa, private beach access, tennis courts, and scenic walking and jogging paths winding through mature tropical landscaping. The Arbor House adds a fitness center and owners’ lounge. A one-month minimum lease and a pet-friendly policy for cats and dogs add rare flexibility. Location is the quiet advantage — minutes to the Gulf beaches, Fort De Soto Park, and I-275, with straightforward runs to Tampa International and St. Pete–Clearwater airports. Vacant, clean, and available for immediate occupancy.
