Welcome to the beauty and ease of Florida living in this stunning single-story, 4-bedroom, 3-bath home tucked inside the guard-gated community of Placido Bayou. Surrounded by mature trees, winding streets, and natural preserves, Placido Bayou offers the rare combination of tranquility and security-just minutes from vibrant downtown St. Petersburg. Step inside to find a smart and fluid floor plan-perfect for the buyer who wants space or an ideal multi-generational layout. Every main room looks out to the sparkling, solar heated tropical pool where cabana-style curtains rustle in the breeze and frame the view onto the master landscaped backyard. Beautiful pavers and a serene area for a freestanding firepit create an oasis perfect for days in the sun or shaded poolside lounging. At the heart of the home, the showstopping-gourmet kitchen features a gas range with hood, chef's kitchen island, large built-in pantry and breakfast bar-opening seamlessly to the vaulted hearth room with a cozy wood-burning fireplace and media built-ins. The sizable primary suite offers a peaceful escape with its elegant and beautifully renovated spa-like bathroom- complete with a marble double vanity, custom cabinetry, elegant soaking tub and oversized custom closet. Truly taking this bathroom suite to the next level, step into the changing room where you will find heated lamps, a towel warmer, luxurious step-in shower, commode and bidet. Guests and extended family will appreciate the private quarters among two additional separate areas within the home. A guest bedroom and pool bathroom with shower is hidden behind a door with chic design elements that are reminiscent of a stay at the Gasparilla Inn. Two additional bedrooms are located on the east side of the home with a shared full hall bathroom. Complete with two living areas, a dining room, and generous storage-a garage storage closet, attic space, an interior laundry room and a 2-car garage-this home is designed for both everyday convenience and luxury. Placido Bayou's walkable streets, and serene fishing lakes make it a favorite for anyone who desires privacy while still being close to all the pleasures of city living.
