This is the luxury waterfront condo you’ve been waiting for. It has what everybody wants: Protected boating water right behind your unit, and direct access to the white sands of St. Pete Beach right across the street. The complex is nestled in an upscale gated community on the shores of McPherson Bayou, which opens right up to the intracoastal and Boca Ciega Bay, providing quick access by boat to the open Gulf of Mexico. But it’s not only about the location. This exquisite fourth-floor corner condo invites you to indulge in unparalleled intracoastal vistas and enchanting sunsets from your west-facing veranda, along with sweeping panoramic views of the bay from the expansive balcony accessible from both the living room and master suite. The overall feel and style of this unit will impress you from the very first moment you walk in the door. Nothing needs to be done here, and the unit is being sold mostly furnished and decorated, subject on to a few exclusions. Upon entering, the vast open layout unfolds before you, offering a lavish setting for experiencing your new coastal lifestyle. The foyer leads to a spacious west-facing guest bedroom with its own private bathroom, opposite a versatile second guest room, ideal as a home office or fitness space, with a convenient guest bath nearby. The heart of this home is undeniably the recently updated gourmet kitchen, with shining stone countertops, contemporary cabinetry, and high-end fixtures, all complemented by a top-tier Kitchenaid appliance suite. The kitchen’s countertop seating for five stands as the central gathering spot, providing the perfect setting for entertainment and enhanced day-to-day living. Adjacent, the dining area, distinguished by a coffered ceiling, flows seamlessly into the grand living room and its gorgeous water views. Perfectly-chosen high-end vinyl plank flooring enhances the beach ambiance throughout the main living spaces and bedrooms, offering both beauty and durability. Privacy is paramount, with a thoughtful three-way split bedroom layout. The master suite is a secluded retreat, complete with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that open to the mesmerizing intracoastal, his and hers closets, and an en-suite bathroom featuring a garden tub and separate shower. The condo also includes a spacious private waterside cabana, perfect for storing beach essentials. While this unit does not include a deeded slip, the current owners have been renting a slip with a lift from a neighbor, who has agreed to offer to lease it to the new owner, so you really can have the best of both worlds: Boating in the backyard, and beach across the street. The specific location of this unit has some superior benefits which might not be obvious if you are just getting to know the area. Located in the southern portion of St. Pete Beach near the historic Don CeSar hotel, the Pinellas Bayway is 30 seconds away. This means that, unlike other beach locations, you can still get to the I275 in just moments, putting the excitement of Downtown St. Petersburg at your fingertips, with its vibrant arts scene, amazing restaurants and night life, and miles of scenic waterfront parks. You also have quick access to several airports, PIE, TPA, and SPG, all within a 30-minute drive. You can get in and out of town quickly, meaning that you can easily travel or work while still living the ultimate beachside lifestyle.
