1963 MICHIGAN AVENUE NE

DID NOT FLOOD! Welcome to an exceptional waterfront residence in Venetian Isles, ideally positioned on Michigan Avenue—one of the highest streets in the community. Situated on an elevated, built-up and sloped lot, this property offers a rare advantage in Venetian Isles, and this home remained unflooded during recent hurricanes. Enjoy refined coastal design, thoughtful upgrades, and a true boating lifestyle along deep-water canals with access to Tampa Bay and the Gulf. This home offers new flooring, a freshly repainted interior, and an inviting, light-filled layout designed for both elegant entertaining and relaxed everyday living. A rare offering for the area, the property features two private suites, each with its own dedicated bathroom. The expansive rear primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with a custom redesigned walk-in closet and spa-style bath, while the second suite—featuring both interior access and a separate exterior entrance—offers exceptional flexibility for guests, a private office, or in-law suite. One of the home’s most coveted features is its seamless direct walk-out access from the main living area to the dock, allowing you to step outside, pass the natural gas firepit, and head straight to the water without navigating around the pool. This highly desirable layout enhances daily convenience and creates a natural connection between indoor living, outdoor entertaining, and boating. The pool and spa are thoughtfully positioned to the side, preserving open sightlines and effortless flow throughout the backyard. Designed for resort-style enjoyment, the outdoor living space features a heated Hayward saltwater pool with attached waterfall spa, multi-color LED lighting, and an efficient variable-speed pump. The fully equipped raised outdoor kitchen includes granite counters, stone base, overhead lighting, electrical, and piped-in natural gas—complete with a Firemagic 48” Echelon grill with rotisserie, Firemagic power burner, Primo ceramic grill, sink, and stainless storage. A spacious two-level outdoor bar with beverage refrigerator, mounted TV, ambient lighting, and ceiling fan creates the perfect setting for sunset gatherings and waterfront entertaining. A premium outdoor shower and a 6’ piped-in natural gas firepit further elevate the private backyard retreat. Boating enthusiasts will appreciate the exceptional waterfront setup, featuring a 16’ x 24’ Trex dock with lighting, fish station, dual water connections, and a lower dock for easy entry, a 13,000 lb boat lift with updated electrical and cradle options, and an EZDock floating dock for personal watercraft. A newer seawall with corrugated panels and a wide concrete cap provides long-term durability and peace of mind. Additional improvements include two HVAC systems (new within the past four years), a natural gas whole-house tankless water heater, whole-house Pelican water softener, generator connections with breaker interlock, four-zone Rain Bird irrigation, soffit electrical for holiday lighting, climate-controlled storage, and timed exterior lighting with dawn/dusk sensors. This turnkey Venetian Isles residence delivers an exceptional blend of luxury, privacy, functionality, and waterfront performance—offering a refined coastal lifestyle in one of St. Petersburg’s most coveted boating communities.
