About this home
Welcome to one of the most coveted waterfront addresses in Venetian Isles—Carolina Avenue NE. Situated on an open-water canal with unobstructed access to Tampa Bay, this exceptional property offers the ultimate Florida boating lifestyle. Enjoy breathtaking water views, deep-water dockage, a new elevated seawall, and ample space for a large vessel or custom boat lift. What truly sets this home apart is its proven resilience and premier location. Positioned on one of the highest and most desirable streets in Venetian Isles, the property did not experience flooding during recent hurricanes, providing peace of mind rarely found in waterfront living. The backyard is a private waterfront retreat featuring a newer custom Sekas pool with a heated spa, expansive entertaining areas, lush landscaping, a turfed backyard, and direct access to some of the best boating, fishing, kayaking, and paddle boarding in St. Petersburg. This home features 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a convenient half bathroom for guests. Primary bedroom with en-suite bathroom and walk in closet. The kitchen, living room, and family room all have convenient access to the backyard and peaceful waterviews. This home also features a large laundry room for additional storage and can make for an excellent mudroom located just off of the 2-car garage. Venetian Isles is an established deed-restricted neighborhood (with an optional HOA), with buried utilities and natural gas. Cruise from your dock or jump on your golf cart and experience Downtown St Petersburg. Easy access to Tampa International Airport and St. Pete Beach. Walk to the neighborhood Islander Market. Enjoy spending the weekends paddle boarding to nearby Weedon Island Preserve. This location offers it all. Combining exceptional waterfront amenities, strong storm performance, and a prestigious Carolina Avenue address, this is a rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready home in one of St. Petersburg’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Come see why so many choose to call Venetian Isles Home.
