Under contract-accepting backup offers. WE ENCOURAGE BACKUP OFFERS. Welcome to your private tropical retreat. This beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2,188 sq ft heated pool home sits on nearly half an acre (.4 acre) and is high and dry at 26 feet above sea level with no flood history. Located in a quiet, golf cart-friendly neighborhood, it’s just minutes from the beach, downtown St. Pete, Seminole, and the interstate. Step inside and enjoy the spacious, open layout. You enter through the front door into the dining room, which flows into the living room and kitchen—perfect for gathering and entertaining. Two bedrooms and a full bath are located to the right, while the primary suite is tucked away on the far left for a split-floor plan & privacy. The living room opens up to a custom-built bar and bonus hangout area, both of which lead to the massive screened-in porch and pool. From there, step straight out into the lush backyard. The outdoor space is a showstopper. The solar and electric heated pool features a beach entry, a waterfall, and non-slip decking. The porch is finished in slate tile and has three sets of French doors that bring the outdoors in, creating that true Florida indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The backyard is a nature lover’s dream. It’s full of mature landscaping, mulberry bushes, colorful flowers, and regular visits from butterflies, birds, red-tailed hawks, eagles, owls, bunnies, and even the occasional armadillo. You’ll also find a fire pit, RV hookups, a resurfaced barn shed with electric, a separate storage shed, and tons of room for all your outdoor toys. Inside, the split floor plan offers space and privacy. The primary bedroom features two walk-in closets and French doors that open directly to the pool area. The second full bathroom is easily accessible and includes a jacuzzi soaking tub, a step-in shower, double vanity, a makeup station, and plenty of cabinet space.

The open layout connects seamlessly to the living and dining areas, making it feel like the true heart of the home. Natural light pours in through multiple windows, and the kitchen’s design keeps you connected to the rest of the home while still giving you room to move and create.
