On a sunny corner lot in Tierra Verde’s coveted Monte Cristo neighborhood, this elegant single-level home stands out for its timeless design and graceful floor plan. Vaulted ceilings, fine Italian tile flooring, and beautiful architectural elements create an eminently enjoyable interior space in a premier island location.

The great room centers around a fireplace framed by French doors leading to the screened lanai—an inviting setting for inspired entertainment or quiet relaxation. The adjoining dining area and open kitchen create a seamless gathering space with warm wood cabinetry, granite countertops, a gas cooktop, and stainless-steel appliances.

In addition to the three bedrooms, a dedicated office with French doors and custom built-ins offers an ideal work-from-home retreat, while the private owner’s suite provides a peaceful haven with a spa-inspired bath, dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and a soaking tub. Two additional bedrooms and a beautifully updated guest bath complete the interior layout.

Outdoors, enjoy year-round living on the screened lanai with an outdoor kitchen and Jacuzzi spa, surrounded by lush landscaping for privacy. Practical updates provide lasting peace of mind, including PGT impact windows with a transferable warranty, an impact-rated garage door, a roof just four years old, a four-year-old A/C system, and a water heater replaced only one year ago.

Offering over 2,000 square feet of living space along with significant recent capital improvements, this home represents one of the strongest value opportunities currently available on Tierra Verde. With PGT impact windows under transferable warranty, an impact-rated garage door, a four-year-old roof and A/C system, and a one-year-old water heater, the heavy lifting has already been done — providing durability, insurance advantages, and long-term peace of mind. Opportunities to secure this level of space, structural confidence, and island location under $1 million are increasingly rare.

Life on Tierra Verde is unlike anywhere else. This serene residential island rests between the award-winning beaches of the Gulf and the cultural energy of downtown St. Petersburg, offering deep-water marinas, waterfront dining, and direct access to the open Gulf of Mexico. A true boating and outdoor paradise, it’s a place where neighbors still wave, nature surrounds you, and every day feels a little like vacation.
