WATERFRONT POOL HOME IN VENETIAN ISLES! The privileges of a private dock, the perks of a pool home and a central location are among the amenities offered by this lovely, 2,959-square-foot, light-filled home. Deepwater canals, close proximity to downtown St. Petersburg and the vibrancy of a well maintained waterfront neighborhood consistently rank Venetian Isles among the area’s most desirable places to live. The single-story, single family home overlooks the community’s signature waterways that connect with Tampa Bay. An oval pool and deck with dockside views provides a picturesque area to sun and swim. The floor plan accommodates five bedrooms that can easily be converted to workout rooms or home offices. Tropical trees, flowering plans and lush greenery greet arrivals with beautiful bursts of color, whether parking in the attached garage or along the semi-circular driveway. An inlaid brick path leads to and through an open air courtyard to the entryway’s French doors. Multiple dual glass doors opening into the main living and dining areas line one side of the courtyard. Neutral colors found throughout the home contribute to its very open and airy appearance. Rooms flow freely from the front door threshold to the more formal living area, around the corner to a cozy dining spot and into the kitchen that is directly opposite from the dining room. Three side-by-side-by-side sliding glass doors open from those rooms onto the pool, spa and deck that lead to the property’s dedicated dock. Family-style meals can easily be served atop a large countertop within the kitchen that comfortably seats up to four people. Stainless steel appliances, lightly tinted custom cabinets and an open design give the kitchen a clean, contemporary look and feel. A family room featuring sliding glass doors opening to the pool deck and a large picture window overlooking the canal is found just off of the kitchen. Sliding glass doors separate the primary bedroom from the pool and the wide canal. Within the bedroom’s footprint are two walk-in closets and an en suite bathroom with double vanities, a walk-in glass-doored shower plus spa tub. Residents are only a brief drive, bike ride or boat cruise from the cultural venues, diverse dining options, boutiques and nightlife that make St. Pete’s downtown a destination for residents and visitors alike.
