About 9815 Bay Island Drive
Wake up to panoramic waterfront views and enjoy the lifestyle that makes Bayside one of Tampa Bay’s premier gated waterfront communities. This meticulously maintained pool home blends timeless character with exceptional pride of ownership, offering an incredible opportunity to personalize a home with outstanding bones in one of the neighborhood’s most desirable waterfront settings. Unlike many canal-front properties, this exceptional homesite showcases expansive, wide-open water views rather than neighboring backyards, creating a truly spectacular backdrop from nearly every room. Offering 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, 3,259 square feet of living space, a spacious bonus loft, wet bar, and an extended three-car garage, the thoughtfully designed floor plan features multiple living and dining areas, creating the perfect balance of everyday comfort and entertaining. The secluded primary retreat offers a private escape with direct access to the lanai and pool, while large windows and sliding glass doors throughout the home keep the breathtaking waterfront views front and center. From the moment you arrive, you’ll appreciate the stunning curb appeal featuring a paver driveway, lush tropical landscaping, and timeless architecture. Lovingly cared for over the years, the home offers classic appeal while providing the perfect canvas for a buyer to update to their own style and create their dream waterfront retreat. Major investments have already been made, including updated storm-rated windows and sliding glass doors, a premium tile roof (2012), recent dock improvements, and an exceptional outdoor living space featuring a sparkling pool, expansive screened lanai, second-story balconies overlooking the water, and a private dock. These significant updates allow the next owner to focus on personalizing the interior while enjoying peace of mind knowing many of the home’s most important improvements have already been completed. Whether you’re relaxing poolside, entertaining family and friends, or simply enjoying the peaceful waterfront setting, this home offers the boating lifestyle buyers dream about. Ideally located just minutes from Tampa International Airport, downtown Tampa, premier dining and shopping, medical facilities, and the Gulf beaches, this is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully maintained waterfront home in one of Tampa Bay’s most sought-after boating communities.
