Overlooking the water, your sizable family room opens to a 41ft-wide covered balcony with grand views of Boca Ciega Bay and the intracoastal waterway (sliding doors “pocket” into the wall, for the perfect indoor-outdoor living experience). The impressive chef’s kitchen boasts Subzero/Wolf appliances, gas cooking, wine chiller, dazzling quartz surfaces, glass tile backsplash, white porcelain “farmhouse” sink, and a huge island bar. You’ll love the casual dining area that overlooks the water.
