Welcome to Tampa Bay’s most desired gated waterfront community: The Reserve of Old Tampa Bay. This quiet enclave showcases some of the most breathtaking sunrises and sunsets on Florida’s West Coast. Surrounded by lush palms, private water access, and serene views of Old Tampa Bay, this home offers a rare blend of tranquility and luxury living. Custom-built in 2006 by Alvarez Homes, this residence makes a statement the moment you arrive. Double custom entry doors open to a soaring foyer illuminated by a crystal chandelier. To the left, an elegant formal dining room sets the stage for memorable gatherings, while the formal living room offers floor-to-ceiling bay views and a Baby Grand player piano as its centerpiece. The first floor hosts a mini-owner’s suite with patio and pool access, an ensuite bath, and walk-in closet—ideal for guests or multi-generational living. A powder room features a striking floor-to-ceiling Florida mural, while a private entrance to the one-car garage offers convenience and privacy. The chef’s kitchen is fully outfitted with luxury appliances: Wolf gas cooktop, Bosch convection oven, Profile microwave, Sub-Zero refrigerator, built-in wine chiller, and Bosch dishwasher. Custom cabinetry complements granite counters and an expansive island. Nearby, the laundry room provides access to a two-car garage with custom lift, tankless water heater, water softener, and reverse osmosis systems. The open-concept family and dining area boasts custom built-ins framing the entertainment center and an in-house audio system. Pocketing glass sliding doors can be opened fully, blending indoor comfort with outdoor living. Stepping out onto the expansive patio, you can't help but take in the front-row bay views. Entertain or relax beside the private saltwater pool or dip into the heated spa with its cascading waterfall. A poolside half-bath and sauna add resort-level convenience. The outdoor kitchen—complete with gas grill, granite bar, and counter seating—makes alfresco dining effortless. After dinner you may want to access your boat from your own private boat lift and tour the bay. Back inside, ascend the chandelier-lit elevator and marvel at the endless tall ceilings as you exit onto the dramatic catwalk. Two guest suites feature walk-in closets, a shared Jack-and-Jill bath, and private balconies. On the other side of the catwalk you will find a spacious loft and bonus room that holds a secret entry to walk-in closet of the primary suite, where a spa-inspired bathroom awaits with separate vanities, two private water closets, a deep jetted soaking tub, and a large walk-in shower. The Reserve of Old Tampa Bay is just minutes from Downtown Tampa, the Gulf Beaches, and Tampa International Airport. Offering both privacy and proximity, it is truly the best of both worlds. A home of elegance, comfort, and unforgettable views—this is where your next chapter begins.
