Lease Purchase available. Space, functionality, privacy, and located in one of only 2 gated communities in northeast St. Petersburg, Placido Bayou. As you walk in the front door your eye will be immediately drawn past the living room through sliding glass doors to a private backyard but stick around inside a little longer to enjoy this perfect floor plan! The entire home is all on one level and has new Luxury Vinyl floors throughout without any step-ups or downs, which makes the home feel larger than it is. There is the perfect amount of separation between the living, kitchen, and family rooms allowing everything to flow while providing privacy. Down the hall are 2 equally sized bedrooms with a shared bathroom. Off the living room is the enormous primary suite. The windows and sliding glass doors open to the covered patio, creating a romantic ambiance. The primary bath has recently been renovated with a custom walk-in shower, towel warmer, separate water closet, spacious double vanity, and walk-in closet. It is easy to flow through this home with new luxury laminate flooring and fresh paint throughout. The kitchen has plenty of counter and countertop space, desk area, closet pantry, breakfast bar, and opens to an eating area and the family room. And once more, there are more sliders to take you to the patio! Off the family room is the 4th bedroom (currently used as an office) and full bath (and yes, it leads to the patio as well). So let's go out to the patio - You have automated retractable screens, a wet bar with a wine fridge, and an open patio area perfect for enjoying the warmth of a firepit. The serenity of nature is your only backyard neighbor. Your property has a preservation easement and continues 270 feet through the mangroves to a saltwater bayou.
