Home Description

Welcome to this majestic, elevated, custom built home by Matta located on the highly desirable island of Tierra Verde! Feel peace of mind as you approach this massive solidly built home - where the 5155 sq ft of living area starts on the second floor. Soak in the additional 2600 sq ft of lush outdoor space with views of the Gulf and a WHOPPING 3424 sqft garage situated under the living area. As you approach this property, take note of the grand portico that leads to the welcoming entrance and the over 3000 sq ft of paver driveway. Enter through the stately glass doors you will immediately appreciate the soaring ceilings of the open great room with water views through the expansive windows that provide an abundance of natural light. This spacious family room is perfect for large gatherings or a quiet night at home and features a beautiful marble clad fireplace offering warmth and ambience. Walk past the elegant formal dining room onto the kitchen that is fit for a chef! Featuring 2 enormous islands- one for bar seating and the other one for cooking, granite countertops, newer appliances, eat in dining area that is steps to the outdoor covered deck for dining alfresco! The kitchen also overlooks a bright and open family room which extends the entertainment space or can serve as a quiet respite. The first floor also has three well appointed ensuite bedrooms that have their own outdoor space to make your guests feel right at home! The main level also features a spacious laundry room, half bath, lots of storage and a “ready to install” elevator shaft reaching all levels of the home. A beautiful curved oak and glass staircase will take you to the second level where you will find a cozy loft area overlooking the great room. Continue on to a huge (over 700 sq ft) office but could be reinvisioned into a game room or study? It is also plumbed- think wet bar, small kitchen or a possible multifamily area, perhaps? Onto the impressive Owners bedroom retreat, which offers plenty of privacy and luxury as well as an extensive walk in closet of your dreams. Walk out onto your private covered patio and enjoy the views of the Gulf and sunsets. You will be blown away at the massive Owner’s bath (over 500 sq ft!) featuring a palacios sunken jacuzzi tub, spacious walk-in shower and double vanities. Let’s talk about the garage. Situated under the living area of the home elevating it and encompassing over 3400 sq ft - you will be the envy of the neighborhood! PLENTY of storage for your vehicles, island toys etc. NOTE -garage did not have any water intrusion from the 2024 storms. The .33 acre lot is located on the west side of the highly desirable Columbus Drive but is still off the water. With its lush tropical landscaping and views of the Gulf, it also offers plenty of room to build the pool/backyard oasis of your dreams, if you desire. Tierra Verde is a wonderful place to call home. It has some of the top restaurants in St Pete , 2 marinas, Fort De Soto Park and a special community of neighbors and friends. Tierra Verde is also situated close to the beaches of St Pete (10 min), Downtown St Pete (10Mins), airports, shopping and easy access to I275 which will take you anywhere you want to go - but why would you ever want to leave?
