Overview

Have you dreamed of a pool home with the Gulf as your backyard? This is your opportunity to live the ultimate Gulf Coast lifestyle with 60 feet of concrete seawall directly on the open Gulf. This exceptional 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom pool home sits on a peninsula, offering panoramic Gulf views from nearly every window. Wake up to endless blue water, unwind with golden sunsets, and enjoy the rare experience of true open-water living. Imagine relaxing in your heated pool and spa as dolphins, manatees, and even sea turtles glide past your backyard. Designed to blend coastal elegance with comfort, the home features vaulted ceilings in the living room, crown molding, travertine and porcelain tile flooring throughout, and solid wood kitchen and bathroom cabinetry topped with granite countertops. Double thermopane windows with tinted security film fill the home with natural light while enhancing efficiency and privacy. Stained and etched glass doors, a stunning Waterford chandelier, outdoor lighting, and an electric privacy screen on the porch add distinctive character and charm. The interior and exterior have been freshly painted, and major updates include a new roof and AC in 2017. The third-story primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a soaking tub positioned by a Gulf-view window and private access to an outdoor porch with breathtaking open-water views. A permitted ground-level in-law suite offers its own bedroom, bathroom, living room, laundry, and private entrance—perfect for guests or multigenerational living. Owner has plans and drawings for additional multi-story structure garage and living space for additional space for this home. Step outside to your inground heated pool and spa with a concrete deck and fencing, all directly on the Gulf. An outdoor pool shower and toilet provide added convenience for entertaining and waterfront living. For anglers and boaters, this is a Gulf Coast fishing dream. Catch redfish, snook, and snapper right from your seawall while watching marine life play in the waters behind your home. A channel behind the property provides boating access to the Gulf and is scheduled for future re-dredging by the county. While there is currently no dock or lift, both are permitted should a future owner wish to customize the property for their boating needs. Located in the heart of Hudson Beach, this home places you in one of Florida’s most authentic waterfront communities. Just north of Tampa along the scenic Gulf Coast, Hudson Beach offers a laid-back boating culture reminiscent of Key West in the 1970s—quirky, welcoming, and deeply connected to the water. Here, boating isn’t a hobby—it’s a way of life. Direct Gulf access, marinas, waterfront tiki bars, and locally loved seafood restaurants define the lifestyle. The small public beach becomes a gathering place for neighbors and visiting boaters alike. A thriving commercial seafood industry, especially shrimping and stone crabbing, keeps the working-waterfront heritage alive and woven into daily life. With convenient access to US 19, shopping, dining, medical facilities, and everyday essentials are just minutes away. Tampa International Airport is approximately an hour away, and the attractions of Orlando are within 90 minutes. This is more than a home—it’s a front-row seat to the Gulf Coast boating lifestyle, where days revolve around tides, fishing lines, and unforgettable sunsets over open water. Welcome home.
