Property Description
Welcome to your private tropical retreat on Terra Ceia Bay! 5003 Commonwealth Road sits on a rare double lot offering an impressive 150 feet of deep-water frontage along the pristine, shimmering waters of Terra Ceia Bay.

Lovingly maintained by the same family since 1965, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath home is filled with character and pride of ownership. With nearly 4,400 square feet under roof, the home provides generous indoor and outdoor living spaces-perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or creating your own coastal compound. The expansive property spans two lots totaling 150 feet of seawall, opening the door to endless possibilities: enjoy it as-is, expand, or reimagine the space into a true waterfront estate. Whether you're boating, fishing, or simply soaking in the tranquil bay breezes, this is Florida waterfront living at its finest.
