Property Description

Palazzo Sul Mare is a rare waterfront estate in St. Petersburg’s coveted Jungle Prada neighborhood, offering over 19,000 square feet under roof and more than 10,000 square feet of interior living space on over 1.5 acres along the Intracoastal Waterway. Built in 2020, this residence blends modern construction with timeless European-inspired design—an offering rarely found in this market. A grand motor court and porte-cochère create a secure, estate-style arrival. An imported limestone exterior, along with wrought iron detailing, a distinctive blue dome, fountain, marble statuary, and mature oak trees, establishes a timeless setting surrounded by tropical landscaping and the neighborhood’s iconic peacocks. Inside, a dramatic domed rotunda crowned by a crystal chandelier anchors the home, featuring inlaid marble flooring and dual sweeping marble staircases. The layout captures water views throughout, with a gallery-style corridor ideal for art, a grand piano, or entertaining. Marble archways and columns, gold and iron balustrades, and detailed ceilings create a striking architectural presence, while illuminated art niches enhance the home’s scale and design continuity. Custom millwork, fresco-style ceilings, and imported marble flooring span all three levels. The kitchen features a full suite of Thermador appliances, including a 60-inch gas range, integrated refrigeration, and built-in coffee system, along with quartzite surfaces and an illuminated onyx island. A custom Chihuly-style installation of hand-blown glass creates a focal point above, while the curved glass dining area frames panoramic water and pool views with space for large-scale entertaining. The residence includes multiple bedroom suites, several exceeding 1,000 square feet, many with spa baths, expansive closets, and private lanais with water or garden views. The main-level primary suite offers a marble bath with Phylrich fixtures, sauna, soaking tub, multiple vanities, and panoramic water views beneath a custom fresco ceiling. A private office on the main level features paneled walls, built-ins, an ornate stone fireplace, and balcony access. The upper level includes a club-style lounge with a quartzite waterfall bar and sunset views. The home spans three levels with elevator access and marble staircases, with laundry rooms on multiple levels. Outdoor living includes a zero-entry pool, lap pool, 2 spas (hot and possible cold), 5 terraces, courtyards, fire pit, private sandy beach, citrus trees, and a wide rear lawn. The grounds offer flexibility for a guest house or ADU, sport court, cabana, or greenhouse. The private dock includes a 10,000-lb lift, additional lifts for personal watercraft, a wet slip for a yacht, and direct Gulf access. Built for longevity with reinforced pier-and-beam construction on pilings, impact-rated windows and doors, and a stone exterior. Designed with engineered elevation, the residence features elevated living areas (approx. 7.7’ first level and 20’+ upper levels), with no reported water intrusion. Smart home technology, full security camera coverage, solar power, saving thousands per month in electricity, 4 HVAC systems (2023) with 10-year warranties, and 2 whole-house generators for efficiency and reliability. Garage capacity for approximately 6 vehicles includes additional space for a workshop, recreation, or gym with over 5,000 square feet of lower-level space. A rare combination of scale, craftsmanship, and waterfront presence.
