1114 MARINA DRIVE, Tarpon Springs, FL 34689

WATERFRONT BOATER’S PARADISE IN TARPON SPRINGS! A rare opportunity to experience true waterfront living in the exclusive enclave of Anclote Isles. Perfectly positioned on a private stretch of canal, this residence delivers a dream come true for serious boaters: a private dock with a 12,000 lb Hi-Tide boat lift, deep water flow through canal, no bridges, and direct Gulf access. The yard is fully fenced in and the lush tropical vegetation across the canal eliminates the direct sightlines typical of canal-front homes, creating a level of privacy that is nearly impossible to find.

Built with quality construction by Pioneer Homes, this meticulously maintained residence is designed for those who appreciate refined outdoor living. The outdoor experience is nothing short of spectacular, enhanced by more than $100,000 in upgrades. A sparkling heated pool with travertine decking anchors the space, complemented by a magnificent outdoor kitchen featuring a large natural gas grill and refrigerator. A striking two-way fireplace adds warmth and ambiance, creating the perfect setting for entertaining or quiet waterfront evenings with private sunset views. Dolphins – and even manatees – regularly glide by, adding yet another layer of magic to this one-of-a-kind waterfront retreat.

Inside, the home offers 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and a 2-car garage, with soaring ceilings, quality craftsmanship, and undeniable pride of ownership throughout. The living spaces are both inviting and refined, highlighted by beautiful plantation shutters and a seamless connection to the outdoor areas.

No expense has been spared, with over $100,000 in additional major mechanical upgrades completed within the past few years, delivering both luxury and peace of mind. These include a new tile roof with double underlayment (2024), a top-of-the-line HVAC system (2026), a tankless water heater (2025), and fresh interior and exterior paint (2025). Most windows were replaced in 2022 with hurricane-impact glass, while remaining openings are protected by storm shutters, along with a hurricane-impact garage door.

Located in Flood Zone X, flood insurance is not required on this property, but the owner maintains a voluntary flood policy that may be transferred with an annual premium of only $1,084. The home has not experienced any water intrusion in past storms or hurricanes – an increasingly valuable advantage for waterfront properties.

Centrally located, but tucked away in a tranquil island community with only 19 homes, this property is within minutes from the Pinellas Trail, the world-famous Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks, Fred Howard Park, and Sunset Beach, offering the perfect balance of privacy and convenience.
