Property details
About 8520 42nd Ave N
Under contract-accepting backup offers. Nestled along Boca Ciega Bay, this spacious 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers breathtaking open water views and an unbeatable location with easy access to John's Pass and the Gulf of Mexico. Featuring a desirable southern exposure, the home boasts an expansive open-concept kitchen and living area that captures the beauty of the bay. Porcelain tile flows throughout the home, complementing the well-appointed bathrooms, which remain intact with tasteful coastal tile designs. The generous master suite offers two large walk-in closets, a walk-in shower with a stone floor and coastal tile accents, space for dual vanities, and a private water closet. Three additional bedrooms provide ample comfort for family or guests, while the dedicated pool bath adds convenience for outdoor living. The home's circular paved driveway leads to a spacious garage with workspace shelving. Additional features include a metal roof, impact windows and doors, and hurricane shutters—some of which sustained storm damage. The property has been professionally remediated following Hurricane Helene, and while the home, dock and patio decking require repair, the potential for waterfront living is undeniable. With a little vision, this home presents an exceptional opportunity to create your dream coastal retreat with a wide-open view.
