Nestled on the glittering expanse of Florida’s intracoastal waterway is this spectacularly renovated 2 bedroom/2 bath condo. Not a detail was overlooked, nor was an expense spared in transforming every square inch of this picturesque residence. Bordered by two balconies (203 sf and 161 sf), the entire interior was treated to gleaming travertine flooring. Besides Impact doors and windows, the exterior sliders were outfitted with electric shades. Framing the home’s elegant, modern aesthetic is custom wood trim offset by mirrored accents, while every room is topped with crown molding and finished with 5.5” baseboards. Just beyond the foyer is a striking formal dining room and living room area lending pure elegance to this waterfront condo. Flooded with natural light, it presents superb floor to ceiling water views just beyond its balcony. Adjacent to the airy family room featuring a pair of balcony sliders and abundant space for relaxation and entertaining, is the kitchen that was thoughtfully designed and is a chef’s dream space. Luxury fittings by Brizo are set against a full complement of custom cabinetry contrasted by quartz countertops and KitchenAid brand appliances including an induction cooktop. From the dramatic center island to the custom-built wet bar’s LED lighting, undermount frig, storage, and glass shelving, this sleek space is ready for its Architectural Digest debut. As for the amenity-rich master suite, it has everything you’ve come to expect in a remodel of this scale: ample room for your furniture, access to your private balcony, more custom cabinetry and quartz, an indulgent shower room, dual sinks, and two walk-in closets; all enhanced by the subtlety of recessed lighting. The guest room is a lovely retreat dressed in plantation shutters with its own well-appointed bath. Both bedrooms are wired for ceiling fans and both baths boast Brizo fixtures. The laundry room was given the same discerning design treatment with its stacked washer/dryer by LG, custom cabinetry, utility sink, and handy built-in ironing board. A NEW Trane A/C with smart thermostat was installed in 2021. In addition to the convenience of under-building parking for residents, you’ll also enjoy additional storage in the garage area, an elevator, community pool, and party room. Recent building improvements include: NEW seawall (2021), NEW roof (2022), and NEW pavement (2023). When you DO decide to venture beyond these splendid borders, you’ll find yourself close to the popular Belleair Country Club, less than a mile to top-notch medical facilities and Morton Plant Hospital, and just a walk to downtown Clearwater with its scenic Coachman Park and The Sound. Minutes from restaurants, retail, the famous Clearwater Beach, and a 35-minute drive to Tampa International Airport, you’ll want for nothing in this exquisitely crafted paradise.

Panoramic water views lend the rich, coastal experience to this stunning home in Horizon House on Island Estates. Within a five-block radius of this sought-after enclave, enjoy biking and running trails, a selection of retail and restaurants (including the famed Island Way Grill!) and the recently expanded Clearwater Marine Aquarium. You’ll live minutes from Clearwater Beach and Imagine Clearwater, the NEW 24-acre waterfront park/plaza with covered amphitheater, opening this summer. Unlike many of the building’s units that expanded the kitchen into the great room, the originally designed kitchen footprint is intact, leaving more usable living space to create an additional sitting area, add shelving to display art and photos, define a dining room, or entertain guests. This kitchen was significantly UPDATED in 2020. First, the exterior of the existing custom cabinetry was refurbished. Featuring three bi-level turntables; niche drawers to stow items like aluminum foil and candlesticks; a floor-to-ceiling pantry; and built-in broom closet, square footage is deftly maximized. Everything else was installed BRAND NEW. A hand-painted, fire glazed tile backsplash was built atop gleaming sparkle quartz countertops. In addition to the NEW deep corner stainless sink, garbage disposal, faucet, and contemporary cabinet pulls, this inviting kitchen was treated to four NEW GE Profile appliances, dressed in shining slate. There are NEW fixtures in both baths with a shower room in the master and jetted tub in the guest bath. 18×18 inch ceramic tiles flow throughout. The entire interior was painted in 2019. While the previous owner had sleek sliders mounted along the full wall in the living room, BRAND NEW balancers and slides are being installed on the double-hung windows. All will be professionally cleaned when this work is complete. Both bedrooms boast California Closet-style shelving to accommodate everything from clothes to supplies. There’s even a private storage closet down the hall that can house your seasonal décor and tools; conveniently located steps from the laundry room’s complimentary washer and dryer. Horizon House is not only impeccably maintained by its full-time, onsite property manager and staff in association with a selection of curated contractors, but the monthly fees also include basic cable, lobby Wi-Fi, electric, water, sewer, trash, and building maintenance. The dedicated board of directors have initiated some tremendous cost savings and improvements to benefit the shareholders’ investment including energy efficient boilers, upgraded A/C and elevators, BRAND NEW fitness center, NEW entry security, and NEW Miami Dade spec windows on the lobby level, to name a few. This co-op building’s fully funded reserves also make for a sound financial structure. From boat slips to bike storage, a glistening geo-thermal heated pool, and unparalleled vistas, 31 Island Way, originally constructed as a hurricane shelter, is now a lovely place to live the Florida Lifestyle.
