1097 EDEN ISLE DRIVE NE ST PETERSBURG FL 33704 MLS #TB8345106

In excellent condition and immaculately kept by its original owner, welcome to 1097 Eden Isle Drive Northeast. There was no flood damage in the home with hurricanes Helene and Milton. This classic Mediterranean fronts 115 feet of protected Smacks Bayou, one of the very few destination bodies in St. Pete with all the watersports within sight of your backyard. No speed restrictions and no dangerous thoroughfare to travel elsewhere. Built by prestigious Drew Homes, who specialized in elegant Tampa Bay custom waterfront properties. Entering through the 10’ arched doorway you are struck by the panoramic water view out the back of the home. The foyer also features a 23’ soaring ceiling and a second-story bridge connecting the two halves of the expansive upstairs retreat, all set off by Tuscan columns, a stunning 13’ marble gas fireplace, and wrought iron staircase and fixtures with gold accents. The foyer flows seamlessly into what can either be used as formal dining and living areas or a single 19’ x 27’ central entertaining space viewing the water—and the St. Petersburg skyline. The area is further set off with built-in cabinets, sidebar, buffet, tray ceiling, and a 28 sq. ft. wine closet, with pristine oak floors refinished in 2023 below and oversized crown moldings above. The 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom floorplan is practical and appealing: primary and guest suites conveniently on the first floor, and upstairs with two additional bedrooms sharing a Jack and Jill bath and an entire second guest suite with a balcony viewing the pool deck, water, and skyline. Both levels feature massive great rooms for relaxing or entertaining. Find custom closets and chandeliers or ceiling fans in every room. The kitchen is equipped with an array of Thermador, Bosch, and top-end KitchenAid appliances fronted to blend into the custom cabinetry. The kitchen boasts a center island, expansive breakfast bar, gleaming granite countertops, designer tile backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, and travertine floors connecting into the downstairs 23’ x 22’ great room. All oriented to the water views. The St. Pete skyline is seen even from the kitchen sink. The primary suite fills one end of the first floor: water views, two walk-in closets and an elegant bathroom with two oversized vanities, travertine step-in shower, Jacuzzi tub, and private water closet. Also on the first floor is a large den with extensive built-ins, a large laundry room with separate storage area, and the charming pool bath. In addition to the three bedrooms and 23’ x 27’ great room upstairs, there are a wet bar, bright exercise room, loft areas, custom cabinetry with desks, storage room, and balcony with amazing views off of two rooms. Outside there is a brick payer lanai, Viking grill, cabinets, saltwater pool with cascading spa, composite wood dock, and 13,000 lb. boat lift. The yard is fenced and neatly landscaped. The garages are extended height to accommodate lifts to house up to six cars. Equipment updates include all three HVACs, both water heaters (one gas, one electric), and pool heater. Seller will pay first year homeowners and NFIP flood premiums and purchase a one-year home warranty for the buyer.
