Tile floors thro0ughout, quartz countertops, and durable, water-resistant wainscot finishes create a coastal feel throughout this inviting space, which opens to more than 500 square feet of covered paver patio that seamlessly transitions to the pool, hot tub, and private beach. A bonus room and split three-car garage complete this level. The main level showcases soaring 14-foot ceilings, a dramatic triple-stacked fireplace, and a custom free-floating staircase. Expansive living spaces open through floor-to-ceiling glass to a 500-square-foot waterfront balcony. The chef’s kitchen features rich dark granite surfaces, stainless steel appliances, a center island, dual breakfast bars with seating for eight, and a dining area overlooking the pool and bay.

A distinctive porthole window captures the sunrise over downtown St. Pete, adding a touch of nautical charm. The spa-style ensuite bath features dual vanities, granite surfaces, refined tilework, and a spacious walk-in shower. Another guest bedroom, full bathroom, and laundry room complete this floor.
