Situated on a large, fenced lot in the lovely, gated community of Placido Bayou, this beautiful, block constructed home offers a well-designed layout spanning over three bedrooms and two baths. High-end touches greet you upon entry and continue throughout the home, including vaulted ceilings and arched windows. Enjoy the freedom of a flexible floor plan with an eat-in kitchen, separate dining space, and third bedroom that would make an ideal home office. Large pocket doors in the living space lead out to your spacious screened lanai, and backyard with plenty of room for a pool! The kitchen, open to the living and dining areas, has an abundance of cabinet space, a spacious breakfast bar, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. The home's desirable features extend into the master suite, with a large walk-in closet, en suite bath with a walk-in shower, soaking tub, double vanity, and private entry to your backyard paradise. Pleasant surprises around each corner include a wood burning fireplace and interior laundry room with additional storage. Live at ease knowing the HOA covers your lawn maintenance (front and back) and exterior house painting (every 7 years). Experience the luxury of living inside one of St Petersburg's few gated communities! This paradise is located just minutes from downtown St Pete's dining, museums, shopping, and waterfront parks, including the new pier, and a short drive from beaches and airports.
