Property Description
Behind the gates of Placido Bayou, where tree-lined streets, friendly neighbors, and daily walks become part of your routine, this 3,770-square-foot residence offers a lifestyle that feels both elevated and effortless. Just minutes from vibrant downtown St. Petersburg, it's a place where privacy and connection exist in perfect balance. The arrival sets the tone. A grand entry framed by soaring two-story windows and an elegant staircase welcomes you inside, filling the home with natural light and creating an immediate sense of openness. Every space has been thoughtfully designed for both quiet moments and unforgettable gatherings, with formal living areas that transition seamlessly into comfortable everyday spaces. At the heart of the home, the beautifully renovated kitchen has been reimagined with timeless finishes and exceptional functionality. Quartz countertops, an oversized island, gas cooktop, walk-in pantry, antique brick backsplash, and spacious dining area make it equally suited for holiday dinners and casual breakfasts. Offering five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths, the home provides remarkable flexibility, with one downstairs bedroom currently serving as a dedicated office. Upstairs, an expansive bonus room offers endless possibilities as a media room, playroom, fitness studio, or second family room. One guest suite enjoys its own attached bath, creating a comfortable retreat for visitors. The primary suite feels like a luxury hotel suite. Spacious and serene, it opens onto a large private balcony overlooking the backyard, creating the perfect setting for morning coffee or an evening under the stars. The spa-inspired bath transforms daily routines into moments of indulgence, featuring a soaking tub, dual sinks, dedicated vanity, and oversized walk-in shower with personalized Moen Smart Controls, operational by app or voice control and set to your preferred water temperature at the touch of a button. Two walk-in closets are the cherry on top. Functionality is equally well considered. The downstairs laundry room, serviced by an upstairs laundry chute, offers generous storage and workspace, while the three-car garage includes an electric vehicle charger. Outside, Florida living takes center stage. The two-story screened enclosure frames a sparkling pool surrounded by an expansive paver deck with abundant room for lounging, dining, and entertaining. Whether hosting friends or enjoying a quiet afternoon in the sun, the outdoor spaces feel as intentional as those inside. Along the side of the home, a charming flower garden creates a hidden escape filled with color, texture, and seasonal blooms, a peaceful corner that feels almost magical. Other practical features include a new tile roof (2025), landscape lighting, remote-control gas fireplace, and no history of flooding. Beautifully updated, exceptionally spacious, and designed with equal attention to luxury and livability, this is more than a remarkable property. It's the backdrop for the next chapter of your story. All of this is just minutes from St. Petersburg's vibrant waterfront, renowned dining, boutique shopping, world-class arts, and year-round events. Award-winning beaches and airports are also a short drive away, while the Racquet Club of St. Petersburg sits at the entrance to the neighborhood, offering both pickleball and tennis. This is the perfect setting to embrace the effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle that defines Florida living. Welcome home.
