LAKEFRONT SANCTUARY - SOPHISTICATED & TRANQUIL ELEGANCE IN EXCLUSIVE GATED COMMUNITY OF PLACIDO BAYOU | Welcome to this meticulously renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath split floor plan home nestled within the prestigious gated community of Placido Bayou in St. Petersburg. This exceptional residence sits gracefully on a desirable corner lot overlooking one of the most unique lakefront locations of all St. Pete. You will immediately be enamored with the private, Florida park-like serenity that will flow over you as soon as you enter the foyer and look to the rear wall of glass sliders. Showcasing designer finishes and carefully curated details that elevate it far beyond typical renovations, every element has been thoughtfully selected and executed with both sophistication and warmth in mind, creating a truly distinctive home in one of the only two gated communities of St Petersburg.
The interior captivates with brand-new engineered hardwood flooring that flows seamlessly through the main living areas, enhanced by soaring vaulted ceilings that invite abundant natural light throughout. All new designer lighting has been installed throughout including the living room to amplify the vaulted ceilings. The heart of the home features a stunning kitchen equipped with solid wood cabinetry, premium stainless steel appliances including a 36" KitchenAid gas range and oversized built-in double Thor refrigerator/freezer, a built-in under cabinet ice machine, as well as a custom-crafted massive pantry for all your storage needs (culinary and otherwise). The chef's kitchen seamlessly connects to a charming covered front patio, creating the perfect spot for morning coffee shaded from the sun.
The generous great room serves as the home's centerpiece, featuring sliding glass doors that open to reveal your private sanctuary full of lush tropical landscaping overlooking a lake with beautiful wildlife to observe. Enjoy an over-sized patio with pavers and plenty of room left over to construct a pool. The master suite has been reconfigured to offer a wonderfully large, walk-in closet, commode room for privacy, a walk-in shower with a rain head, and dual sinks. Both bathrooms have been completely transformed with modern, designer finishes that reflect impeccable taste, while a dedicated laundry room featuring elegant butcher block countertops combines practicality with style. Additional premium features include a two-car attached garage, ceramic and marble tile, a kitchen bar with dining space for 4, quartz countertops, and another dining area just adjacent to the living area.
