About 4490 38th Way S

Welcome to waterfront living at its finest in Broadwater - St Pete’s highest elevated waterfront community! NO FLOODING - NO DAMAGE from the 2024 hurricane season! This beautifully maintained 3 bedroom, 2 bath home sits on coveted sailboat water with DIRECT, no-fixed bridge access to open waterways! Boca Ciega Bay is less than 1 mile away and the Gulf of Mexico is about 3 miles away. Looking for BOAT STORAGE? Your grandfathered 30 FOOT DOCK can easily accommodate motor or sail boats up to 55 feet and has a 50 amp electrical service and water at the dock. There are 3 sets of dolphins (multiple pilings bolted together for additional strength) on the canal side of the dock with a distance between the dolphins of about 20+ feet. With Eastern exposure, your dock is a delightful place to watch sunrise or enjoy entertainment from the plentiful sea creatures who hunt and play in the canal. ~ In 2008, this home was taken down to only a few walls and completely rebuilt, including new plumbing and electrical and new roof tresses to create the vaulted ceiling. Unique qualities abound here with decorative tile accents in the flooring, stained glass French doors, an adobe-style range exhaust, a statement-making arched double doorway and the way this modern home is nestled harmonically among lush Florida-native landscaping, creating a private oasis within a thriving neighborhood. ~ Step inside and enjoy a sightline through to your waterfront sanctuary. The foyer creates a welcoming-spot for guests and the front of the home finds your formal living room with a charming built-in media console. The heart of the home is the great room space, combining dining, living and the kitchen and a wall of windows and sliders, allowing the outside in. The vaulted ceiling in the great room provides a grand space with the expansive kitchen anchoring the room. The adobe-style range exhaust creates character over your natural gas cooktop. Abundant deep cabinets and tons of counter space make this a chef’s dream and provides plenty of room for collaboration at dinner time. You’ll even find a designated desk space for meal planning and cookbook storage. ~ This home offers a split floor plan and the spacious owner’s suite includes pool views, a large walk-in closet and laundry closet, as well as a roomy ensuite bath featuring separate vanities, a garden tub, tiled shower and even a bidet. Two guest rooms are found opposite the owner’s suite and they share a full guest bath with a tub and a private slider outside, serving well as a pool bath. Bedroom 3 has a bonus space that overlooks the canal and has private access to the pool deck. This space serves well as a home gym, office, or book nook area. ~ Your serene backyard is the ideal spot to wind down after a long day. The vaulted pool enclosure protects your oversized pool deck with tons of lounging space and a separate area for outdoor dining, or an outdoor kitchen. In 2023, the fiberglass pool was re-gel coated and the pump was replaced and in 2025 the gas heater was replaced. This 10,000 SqFt lot holds this expansive home and pool space and still allows for plenty of yard space for gardening, playing or just relaxing among your tropical flora. ~ Hurricane shutters, a hurricane-rated garage door and 3-nail roof connection qualify for insurance discounts. The tile roof is 2008, the seawall was replaced in 2024, the 20+ seer HVAC was replaced in 2024, and plumbing has been updated. ~ Schedule your showing!
