A magnificent waterfront mansion has sold for $9.95 million - the highest-priced sale ever recorded in Tierra Verde — and the second most expensive sale in Pinellas County year-to-date. Located at 1997 Oceanview Drive, the Gulf-front residence boasts breathtaking, unobstructed open water views. Robyn Gunn, of Premier Sotheby's International Realty's St. Petersburg office, brought the buyer.
Encompassing nearly 15,000 total square feet of luxury living, the one-of-a-kind seven-bedroom, eight-and-a-half-bath custom-built estate showcases the finest in artisan-like craftsmanship, contemporary finishes and timeless design. Lush tropical landscaping surrounds a grand portico and commanding driveway entry leading into the home's elegant foyer. Luxury features abound throughout an open floor plan, from an impressive double-sided circular staircase and built-in saltwater aquarium to towering 23-foot ceilings and generous frameless glass windows overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. A gourmet kitchen has double-thick granite countertops, center island prep center, wide multilevel breakfast bar, Sub-Zero, Blomberg and Dacor appliances, gas cooking, custom cabinetry and an oversized walk-in pantry. The master wing is a resplendent retreat, lined by 12-foot ceilings and awe-inspiring waterscapes. An upper-level entertainment room with its own kitchen opens to a covered deck and balcony capturing sweeping scenes of the waterway. Additional outstanding appointments include an 800-bottle climate-controlled wine room and a theater room.
A tranquil outdoor oasis awaits complete with infinity-edge pool, hot tub, kitchen and bar area, numerous lounging areas, pergola and a gas fireplace. The dock is equipped with a 20,000-pound boat lift and wet slip for ease of access.
