Along the water’s edge in Pasadena Isles, this newly completed modern waterfront luxury estate by Everstone Development pairs a modern European-style sensibility with everyday coastal ease. The elevated two-story layout includes 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and 2 half bathrooms across over 4,000 square feet, all oriented to embrace direct frontage on the Intracoastal Waterway (Boca Ciega Bay). An expansive open-concept design blurs the boundary between inside and out, anchored by 80 feet of dramatic floor-to-ceiling glass framing wide views of the sparkling pool and the serene waterway beyond. Outside, a 40-foot covered lanai sets the stage for year-round alfresco dining and lingering evenings as the sky turns gold. With the beach just a 5-minute drive away, mornings, afternoons, and sunsets naturally revolve around the water.

Four king bedroom suites each offer a private ensuite bath, while a bonus den adds extra sleeping flexibility. Outdoors, resort-style living unfolds with a private black-bottom, infinity-edge pool, a full outdoor kitchen, multiple lounge and dining areas, and an outdoor shower. Above it all, a rooftop deck frames panoramic Gulf views. With ample on-site parking and placement in the Exclusive Vacations luxury rental program, the home balances everyday ease with a polished, high-performing coastal lifestyle.

Here, dual living rooms encourage both quiet lounging and easy entertaining, complemented by formal dining, en-suite guest quarters, and a chef’s kitchen anchored by a butler’s pantry. A private elevator connects to the upper level, where an entertaining den with a wet bar sits alongside a large laundry room, three en-suite bedrooms, and a serene primary suite with a spa-inspired bath. Outside, the mood shifts to resort-like ease with an outdoor kitchen, heated pool, and fenced yard, all supported by a three-car garage—an effortless backdrop for long afternoons at home.

Along the Intracoastal waterfront in Clearwater Beach, 631 Harbor Island offers single-level living shaped by an interior transformation done with uncommon intention. The original slab, exterior walls, and roof remain solidly intact, while the current owner has essentially rebuilt the home from the inside out—upgrading every surface, system, and finish to high-end, luxury standards. Completed with meticulous care and attention to detail in partnership with Premier Construction of Tampa, the result feels fresh and deeply personal without losing the integrity of what came before. Open Intracoastal frontage sets the tone for daily life here, where stepping outside means taking in sweeping water views that redefine “retreat.” It’s a residence designed to be lived in simply and beautifully, with the calm of the shoreline always in view.

A dramatic foyer sets the tone with soaring ceilings, exposed decorative beams, statement lighting, and wide-plank wood flooring. The open-concept layout unfolds into a great room anchored by a stacked-stone media wall, while transom windows and panoramic preserve views bring the landscape in. Walls of sliding glass extend the living space to the lanai, creating an effortless rhythm between inside and out. Thoughtful post-construction upgrades underscore a home built for modern, well-composed living.
