A rare slice of St. Petersburg's Waterfront where the big-ticket upgrades are already done, the views are the kind you don’t “get used to,” and the lifestyle starts the moment you pull into the drive. Set on an open-water .32-acre lot with roughly 90 feet of waterfrontage, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence looks straight out over Tampa Bay to the illuminated Sunshine Skyway Bridge, serving up sunsets on repeat. No HOA. Elevated construction. This home never flooded, including during the 2024 hurricanes, a detail that matters when you’re buying on the water. The home spans 3,062 square feet with vaulted ceilings and a bright, open layout designed to drink in the bay views from nearly every room. It’s the ideal luxury canvas for a buyer who wants to add personal style without taking on the expensive heavy lifting. A standing seam metal roof (2020), hurricane-impact windows and sliding doors (2022), solar panels with battery backups (2022), keeping the average electric bill around $35/month, and an assumable flood insurance policy at approximately $3,000/year. Inside, you’re welcomed by a grand foyer with modern double front doors, soaring ceilings, and tile floors. The formal living and dining rooms feel elevated and intentional. The heart of the home opens to the water: a chef’s kitchen with flat-panel wood cabinetry, granite counters, newer stainless-steel appliances, a natural gas range, and a large island under skylights that bring in soft Florida light all day. The family room, breakfast nook, and bonus seating area all flow toward the pool deck. The primary suite is precisely where you want it, privately positioned with hardwood floors, panoramic water views, and sliding doors that open directly to the pool deck. The ensuite offers dual vanities, a walk-in shower, a soaker tub, and a water closet, plus an oversized walk-in closet and additional built-in storage along the hallway. The split floor plan is made for real life: a guest-ready second bedroom with a connected half bath, plus two additional bedrooms tucked on the opposite wing behind a pocket door for privacy. One bedroom even offers direct pool access, perfect for guests who treat the lanai like their personal resort. Step outside, and it all clicks. A sparkling saltwater pool with a gas-heated spa and spillover feature is surrounded by an expansive brick paver deck and a large, covered lanai for viewing late-night bridge lights. The backyard offers real green space for pets or play, a new seawall and cap (2024), and a brand-new dock with marine-grade composite decking (2025), extending gracefully into the bay with space ready for a boat or jet ski lift if desired. Add in a dedicated laundry room with a new washer/dryer, cabinetry, extra storage, a two-car garage with abundant cabinetry, a hurricane-rated door and EV charging station, dual A/C units with UV filtration, and a natural gas water heater (2023), and you’ve got something increasingly hard to find. Ideally located for easy access across the Skyway to Bradenton and Sarasota, and just minutes to downtown St. Petersburg, Fort De Soto, and the Gulf beaches.
