About this home
8715 DRIFTWOOD DRIVE
Welcome to 8175 Driftwood Drive, a completely reimagined waterfront residence in Tampa’s desirable Bay Crest Park community. Situated on a deep-water canal with direct, bridge-free access to Tampa Bay, this move-in-ready home combines extensive recent upgrades, modern coastal finishes, and an exceptional boating lifestyle. The light-filled, open-concept layout creates an inviting flow for everyday living and entertaining. Hurricane-impact-rated windows and a large impact-rated sliding door provide added protection while connecting the interior living areas to the waterfront backyard. Driftwood-look plank tile extends throughout the home, complemented by shaker-style cabinetry, stone countertops, solid-wood bedroom doors, updated lighting, and beautifully remodeled showers with premium tile and fixtures. The renovation extended well beyond cosmetic improvements. Recent upgrades include new sewer lines, completely updated electrical wiring, new light fixtures, new cabinetry, new toilets, and hurricane-impact-rated windows and sliding door. The garage also includes an additional hookup for a refrigerator or ice maker. Appliances are not included, allowing the buyer to select a preferred appliance package. Set on a waterfront canal lot near the end of the main channel, the property enjoys limited passing boat traffic and a peaceful setting. Outdoor features include a new dock with heavy-duty pilings, a 10,000-pound boat lift, pool, large party pavilion, brick courtyard with fountain, and brick-paver side parking suitable for a boat trailer, jet skis, or RV. Boaters can enjoy convenient access to Tampa Bay, Sand Key, Beer Can Island, and Gulf waters, while anglers can fish for snook, redfish, and tarpon directly from the dock. Bay Crest Park is known for its established waterfront setting, navigable canals, and convenient central Tampa location. The home is approximately nine minutes from Tampa International Airport and 15 minutes from Downtown Tampa, with easy access to International Plaza, the Westshore Business District, Raymond James Stadium, restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and Gulf beaches. Offering extensive renovations, impact-rated openings, outstanding outdoor amenities, and true boat-to-bay access, this waterfront property is ready for its next owner.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
