Welcome to your "Cottage By The Bay" on Terra Ceia Island! A location you talk about and dream about, but rarely find! Located on an aquatic preserve on the shores of Miguel Bay, you'll have frequent visits from manatee, dolphin, and various colorful waterfowl. Uninhabited mangrove islands can be seen in the distance and are great fun for kayaking through or boating and fishing along their banks. Your private backyard dock has sturdy Trex decking, water, power and a boat lift! After a day of boating and fishing, you'll be able to sit back and relax in this beautifully updated, key west style home. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with winding pathways, a shell beach, swaying Coconut Palms, Areca Palms, Hibiscus, and many other Florida friendly plantings. There are even views of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge! The living is large here with water views from almost every room. Warm wood beamed ceilings, stunning travertine flooring, exotic granite counters, hardwood flooring and soft natural paint colors all work together to create a welcoming feeling. The kitchen is in the heart of home, open to the dining and family rooms, all overlooking Miguel Bay. Each bathroom has been updated using custom vanities, travertine tile and granite counters. The third bedroom is currently being used as an office and would also make a great nursery or hobby room. Several pieces of furniture and art work are available for sale under separate purchase. Once your day is done, head to the end of the dock, or sit back on the deck and be amazed by the stunning red, pink and orange sunsets .
