Property Description

A Rare Private Waterfront Retreat in Northeast St. Pete with zero bridge restrictions to wide-open water and 90' of newer seawall. This magnificently updated, move-in ready sailboat-water pool home offers an unmatched level of privacy in Northeast St. Pete that is unlike any other. What sets this property apart—and makes it so rare—is its exceptionally private waterfront positioning. Unlike typical waterfront homes where neighboring residences sit directly across the canal and limit privacy, this residence enjoys unprecedented privacy with zero neighbors across the canal and none next door to the east, creating an extraordinary sense of serenity, seclusion, and visual appeal. Enjoy sailboat water directly from your newer composite dock and 10,000-lb. boat lift (2021), with unobstructed access directly to Tampa Bay and The Gulf. Whether you're boating, fishing, island hopping, discovering nearby sandbars, or simply enjoying the water at the end of the day, this is waterfront living without compromise. Inside, the spacious 3 bedroom, 2 bath home plus bonus room/office has been completely reimagined with an all-new updated design where every detail—inside and out—has been thoughtfully planned for even the most discerning homeowner. From the moment you step inside, a stunning modern retreat unfolds around you. Private saltwater canal views greet you from nearly every room, while brand-new flooring flows seamlessly throughout, enhancing the home's elevated custom feel. The open-concept living space remains beautifully intact, free from awkward patio conversions or transitional step-downs—a clean, cohesive design that maintains both form and function. Enjoy worry-free living with an impressive list of high-end updates: impact windows, roof, seawall (2020), brand-new elevated HVAC system (2024), new water heater (2024), upgraded electrical, ample storage, and fully redesigned kitchen and bathrooms. Set on an oversized lot, the expansive circular driveway accommodates up to seven vehicles. Inside, high kitchen ceilings add to the sense of volume and scale, enhancing the custom cabinetry, designer lighting, brand-new Café appliances, and granite countertops. The oversized luxurious primary suite feels like a five-star resort, with a carefully curated owner's retreat that blends comfort with sophisticated design. Then step waterside, where 800 square feet of covered and screened lanai becomes the perfect extension of your living space. This expansive outdoor setting captures the very best of Florida's indoor-outdoor lifestyle—ideal for entertaining, relaxing, or simply watching dolphins and manatees glide through the canal. The newly remodeled sparkling pool and travertine deck are equally impressive, featuring new equipment, professional landscaping, and upgraded lighting, creating an unforgettable setting for evening swims, weekend gatherings, or quiet afternoons overlooking the water. Every space has been thoughtfully executed, including the garage. A portion of the oversized 22x30 footprint has been meticulously transformed into a uniquely designed air-conditioned office-flex space with interior laundry—proof that no detail has been overlooked. Located in desirable Northeast St. Petersburg, you'll enjoy convenient access to Vibrant Downtown St. Pete, the beaches, and Tampa, while still having the ability to cruise this golf-cart-friendly neighborhood or take a scenic bike ride along the Northeast Trail to Historic Vinoy Park and Downtown.
