Under contract-accepting backup offers. Wish you could find a freestanding, single-story home with a 2-car garage and a private pool inside a secure, active gated community in Northeast St. Petersburg? Welcome home! This meticulously remodeled "Bay Home" delivers the ultimate care-free lifestyle, where the HOA handles the exterior heavy lifting: roof replacement (every 20 years), exterior painting (every 7 years), gutters, pressure washing, and complete landscaping maintenance. Inside, seven years of prideful ownership shine through a seamless flow of premium 24” porcelain tile stretching through every room. Both bathrooms showcase stunning, designer encaustic geometric matte-finish porcelain tile, with the primary suite boasting a true spa-like asset—a custom zero-entry shower with a seamless glass enclosure. Designed for effortless indoor/outdoor living, hurricane-impact sliders perfectly frame the large, open-concept kitchen, living, and dining spaces. Slide them open to enjoy cool breezes and panoramic views of your private outdoor oasis, featuring a covered upper deck, an expansive screened pool deck, and a sparkling pool overlooking a serene lake and fountain. Set against a peaceful backdrop of mature oaks, palms, and visiting tropical wildlife, this tranquil retreat offers absolute quiet and security. Complete with a highly valuable assumable flood policy ($2,763, but no homes in the neighborhood were flooded) and exclusive community perks like a private boat ramp, dedicated storage for boats with trailers, kayaks, and paddleboards, plus tennis and pickleball courts, this is turnkey Florida luxury at its absolute finest! While it feels like a secluded paradise, this premier geographic location puts you less than 15 minutes from thriving Downtown St. Pete and just 10 minutes from Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. Commutes are an absolute breeze—less than 20 minutes to Tampa International Airport, International Plaza, Hyde Park, and Channelside, and a mere 10 minutes for those working in the Carillon Business District, home to Raymond James, Franklin Templeton, Jabil, Transamerica, Power Design, and Humana.
