4128 CAUSEWAY VISTA DRIVE, TAMPA, FL 33615

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Your own private dock on Old Tampa Bay, not a shared slip, not a community dock, yours. Walk the mangrove-lined path to a private dock with a 10,000 lb boat lift, step aboard, and you're on open water. Dolphins surface at dusk just off the seawall. Manatees drift through the shallows. Turtles sun themselves like they own the place. This is not the Tampa Bay you see from a bridge. This is the Tampa Bay you live inside of, every single day.

The Reserve of Old Tampa Bay is a gated enclave of just 31 homes in Rocky Point, one of the most quietly coveted waterfront addresses in Tampa Bay. The Mediterranean architecture makes an immediate impression: warm stucco, tile roofline, lush landscaped grounds lit beautifully after dark, and custom ironwork on the balconies that signals this home was built with intention. Within this exclusive community, the privacy is absolute and the neighbors understand exactly what they have.

Step inside and soaring ceilings open to a formal living room and dining room on one side, a family room on the other connected by a two-sided fireplace that serves both rooms simultaneously. It is exactly as good as it sounds. The family room opens to the pool and bay, and a cantilevered balcony with custom iron railings overlooks the water below. The chef's kitchen features granite counters, a center island, built-in oven and cooktop, and casual dining that keeps the bay in frame at every meal.

Upstairs, the open hallway looks out over the foyer below, impressive from above as it was to walk through; the custom ironwork railing tying the whole vertical experience together. The hall leads past both guest bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bath, one with a cantilevered balcony, before arriving at a gallery sitting area wired with in-wall speakers, a room that reveals itself at the end of the hall like a reward. Beyond it, the primary suite. A private oversized balcony — ironwork railings, bay views, open sky — connects via custom iron spiral staircase directly to the pool and outdoor living below. That staircase is the kind of detail that makes you smile every single time you use it.

Outside, a covered lanai connects an outdoor kitchen, heated pool, and spa, all facing the bay and those sunsets. The kind that turn the water gold and stop a conversation mid-sentence. At night, the landscape lighting carries the Mediterranean character all the way to the water's edge, and the whole property takes on a warmth that photographs simply cannot do justice.

A dedicated office, wine cellar, wet bar, pet shower just off the garage entry — because a life on the water means sandy paws are part of the deal — and an oversized three-car garage round out this 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home across 3,669 square feet.

Rocky Point sits at one of the most enviable addresses in Tampa Bay. Tampa International Airport is minutes away. Downtown Tampa, the Riverwalk, Raymond James Stadium, and some of the South's best dining are all close. The Courtney Campbell Causeway begins almost at your doorstep, stretching across the very water you look at every morning, delivering you in minutes to the world-renowned white sand beaches of Clearwater.

Priced as a genuine opportunity in a community where homes have traded north of $2,800,000. The private dock, the wildlife, the sunsets, the custom ironwork, the spiral staircase to the water, the causeway to the Gulf — these are not features you find on every listing. They are reasons to call today.
