Under contract-accepting backup offers. Stunning, single-level residence exuding the essence of a South Pacific resort within the gated community of Placido Bayou. From the moment you enter this 3 bedroom, 2 bath home, you’ll marvel in the airy and open design. Perfectly positioned on a quiet street with an oversized, fenced lot. Meticulous detail went into the updates of this home including bamboo engineered hardwood floors in all the main rooms, artisan trim and door casings, coffered ceilings, new interior paint and exterior landscape lighting just to name a few. The dreamy kitchen features custom white cabinetry, glass tile backsplash and a wall of closed pantry space to organize contents and sundries. On the opposite wall is an interior laundry closet which can house a full size washer and dryer. High-end new appliances have recently been added to the kitchen with all the bells and whistles. Vaulted ceilings showcase the living room with enhanced stereo wiring. The living room leads out to the tranquil patio with an illuminated starburst pergola to enjoy shade and the lush, island-inspired landscaping. There’s plenty of space outdoors to play or add a pool and firepit area. Coming back inside, the spacious primary bedroom feels more like a spa retreat with a custom wood-plank wall accent, a large walk-in closet, Bose surround sound speakers, a phenomenal ensuite bathroom with coastal beam features, wainscoting, custom programmable lighting and a frameless glass shower/tub. On the opposite side of the home, you will find two additional bedrooms. The first bedroom dubs as an amazing office with a discreet murphy bed, detailed wainscoting and gorgeous coffered ceilings. The second bedroom, currently used as an exercise retreat, has a charming window bench set among palm trees and foliage. The primary bedroom and exercise room also have a TV mount with power and HDMI cables routed through the closet. Complete with a low HOA that includes lawn maintenance, fencing, reclaimed water and exterior painting, this home is truly a lock and leave residence. The gated community offers the best of outdoor enjoyment: walk among the preserve, bike to the adjacent St. Petersburg Racquet Club or fish in one of the neighborhood lakes. All while being within minutes to downtown St. Pete, a quick 25-minute commute to sugar-sand beaches, Tampa and two international airports.
