849 Harbor Island is among one of the most rare and custom homes on all of Island Estates and Clearwater Beach. Towering elegance captures your heart with 180 degree views of wide open Intracoastal waters. The impossible to find 8x76 ft long dock yields 12 ft of draft at medium high tide, allowing vessels of all sizes. The 84 ft seawall has a newer seawall cap. This one of a kind estate was built up 11 ft above flood plain and constructed of solid block in 1982. The interior layout is open yet offers privacy for all with a central kitchen, two living spaces, and both a formal and informal dining area. Car and boat enthusiasts alike will delight that this home comes equipped with both a boat lift and a car lift. A tri-split floorpan with dual master bedrooms on the first level will accommodate all with grace and privacy. Both masters enjoy expansive water views with direct access to the screened-in pool and wrap around patio. Thoughtfully and with no expense spared, a major addition was constructed in 2000 adding two stories and a lower bunker. This addition was completed using 13 steel beams driven 30 ft into the bedrock that all extend to the third floor and brace down the newer 2018 multi-dimensional shingle roof. The views from the second and third stories are second to none with ceiling to wall hurricane grade windows, doors and shutters. Enjoy your sunken wet bar adorned with granite countertops, wine fridge, microwave, and solid wood cabinetry. The second story media room, billiard room (with custom pool table and reinforced hardwood flooring), and two sitting nooks all have incredible water views. Topping it all off is the third level crows nest which leaves nothing to be desired. The second floor has a strategically placed south facing balcony designed to embrace the breathtaking and warm winter sunsets. All floors have their own dedicated HVAC units keeping perfect climate control on all levels. The pool is the place to relax and unwind after a day at Caladesi or Three Rooker Island. It is fully caged and screened, offers an outdoor culinary corner, and four sliding glass doors leading into the home, making it the ideal entertainment space. Two separate wood burning fireplaces create cozy spaces. A large 15x30 bunker, which is not included in the sqft heated, was constructed near the seawall, and is the perfect workshop, boat equipment storage space, fitness center, or hobby room. From the dock, you are just a five minute boat ride to world famous Caladesi Island (Voted 4th best beach in the United States in 2024). World class inshore and offshore fishing are at your fingertips with the Sand Key bridge (your gateway to the Gulf of Mexico). Honeymoon Island is also just minutes away. Several marinas, spoiler islands, and top notch seafood and restaurants are all an easy boat ride away. Welcome to 849 Harbor Island.
