Welcome to “CASA ACQUA BELLO,” a Modern Mediterranean upscale home on 115 feet of
waterfront on SMACKS BAYOU, a protected harbor with easy access to Tampa Bay and the Gulf!
In excellent condition and immaculately kept by its original owner. This Timeless Beauty is defined
by MEDITERRANEAN NATURAL DESIGN: expansive windows to let in light and water views,
soaring ceilings, extensive woodwork, granite and marble stonework, arched doorways, 8 ft.
solid wood doors, wrought iron, and attractive earth tones. This is a high and dry property with
ZERO flooding from last year’s hurricanes.

fireplace in the living room with Tuscan columns that blend into the dining room with a sidebar,
buffet, walk-in wine closet, and oak floor refinished in 2023. Past the living room you will find a

house enter a gourmet kitchen with 6 gas burner stainless stove and top-end appliances, island,
and breakfast bar all opening to the great room with bright views of the water. It accesses the
lanai with a large heated saltwater swimming pool with a spa flowing in and a summer kitchen
that looks out to the waterfront to watch the family play. With no dangerous travel
thoroughfare and no speed restrictions, paddle boarding, kayaking, jet skiing, boating, and
water skiing await at the end of the dock. Also on the first floor is an office/den with tons of
built-ins, a guest/nanny suite with bath, large laundry room with cabinetry, and large storage
