Tucked within the prestigious, guard-gated enclave of Placido Bayou, this remarkable two-story estate stands as one of the community’s most custom-designed floorplans — a true showcase of craftsmanship and coastal sophistication. Spanning over 3, 500 square feet, the home features four bedrooms plus an office and two-and-a-half baths, each space thoughtfully curated for form and function. The entire first floor has been updated with rich coastal hardwood flooring and a showstopping gourmet kitchen that defines modern luxury. Every element, from the beveled Quartzite countertops to the Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf oven, induction cooktop, and built-in wine cooler, reflects an uncompromising standard of quality. Cleverly integrated pull-out appliance and beverage cabinets keep the space and electrical outlets discreet and functional. Opposite the large kitchen island lies an inviting hearth room which opens to a Southern-style pool terrace through French doors overlooking the lake—a picture-perfect setting for morning coffee or evening gatherings. The formal dining room and adjacent hospitality room’s soaring 30-foot ceilings create a dramatic sense of arrival, balanced by the warmth of natural light and the graceful sweep of a staircase that leads to the upper level. Upstairs, a versatile bonus room provides the ideal nook for a media lounge, creative studio, or serene space for work and study. The primary suite is a destination unto itself, featuring a brand-new, spa-inspired bathroom with chevron-laid tile, vessel tub, and a glass-enclosed shower that evokes a boutique resort. Two custom walk-in closets and a private covered balcony extend the sense of calm and luxury, offering the perfect spot to unwind among a canopy of trees. Three additional large bedrooms are located down the hall with a shared hallway bathroom. Thoughtfully designed and meticulously upgraded, this home captures the essence of refined Florida living—all while being minutes away from dining, shopping, entertainment and outdoor enjoyment of downtown St. Petersburg, sugar-sand beaches and a quick commute to two international airports.
