In The Preserve of the beautiful gated community, Placido Bayou, you will find this stunning townhome tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. This three-bedroom, two and a half bath home features a highly desirable floor plan, spanning over 2,300 square feet of living space. Upon entering the home, you can instantly see the charm. The living room, large, yet somehow still cozy, centers around a wood-burning fireplace and connects to a second, flexible living space in the back of the home. Here you have easy access to your private backyard and deck, with views of the preserve and Florida native landscaping. This is one of the many relaxing spaces where you could enjoy the start or end to your day. Back inside, the tastefully remodeled kitchen offers stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and an abundance of cherry cabinets. The kitchen is centered between two eating spaces, one for formal dining, and the other a casual eat-in space. The home's desirable features extend into the spacious master suite, with double closets, and direct access to a sitting room, currently used as a work out space. The master bathroom features a walk-in shower and double vanity. Upstairs, a loft space is enveloped in bookshelves, and offers the perfect space for a home office, craft/play room, or den. Adjacent to the loft are two guest bedrooms, which are accompanied by a guest bath. Attention to detail is found throughout, with crown molding, planation shutters, and built in shelving. Other convenient features include an upstairs laundry room, storage space under the stairs, downstairs half bath, and large two car garage. A community pool is the cherry on top. Experience the luxury of living inside one of St Petersburg's few gated communities! The neighborhood of Placido Bayou is a paradise, with lakes for fishing, paths for running, and plenty of trees for shade. All of this conveniently located just minutes from downtown St Pete's waterfront with endless dining, shopping, world class arts and events, and a short drive from beaches and airports.
