476 SANTA CRUZ PLACE NE UNIT C ST PETERSBURG FL 33703 MLS #TB8512797

Gorgeous single-level, ground floor condo within Placido Bayou, an exclusive gated community in St. Petersburg, FL. No flooding experienced at this residence from hurricanes. This unit has the benefit of limited upkeep and a maintenance-free lifestyle regardless if it will be your primary residence, second home or an investment property. This updated 2/2 home has a split floorplan & a private end unit with a screened patio providing an open and airy ambiance. Pride in ownership is evident with the major upgrades added to the home: New wood-plank ceramic tile throughout the entire residence, kitchen cabinet refacing and painting with new quartz countertops and wide sink, new dishwasher and refrigerator, whole-house interior painting, new baseboards, removal of popcorn ceilings, new step-in shower in the primary bathroom, new toilets, walk-in closet shelving system, custom ceiling fans, modern and updated electrical receptacles, new refrigerator, dishwasher, new HVAC and hot water heater. Entering the residence’s private entrance with a personal entry large enough for outdoor patio furniture, you will feel like you are in a single-family home versus a condo. The kitchen features ample cabinets, a large pantry, plus extra storage by the front door. A laundry closet is also located in the kitchen housing a new stackable washer & dryer and barn door enclosure. The screened rear porch, just off the living room, provides a peaceful space to enjoy your morning coffee. Unique to this condo, a private sidewalk approach from the parking area leads to the screened patio (no stairs from this sidewalk). The oversized main bedroom can accommodate a king-sized bed in addition to large furniture and features an en-suite bathroom with new step-in shower and gorgeous double vanity sink. This guard-gated neighborhood has it all: No age restrictions, pet-friendly (up to two pets not to exceed 50 lbs. total), community pool & spa, the ability to bike downtown, fish in the community’s lakes or step outside to walk among natural foliage. If you are a tennis player, the Racquet Club of St. Petersburg is located directly outside of the neighborhood. If golf is more of your game, then Placido Bayou is minutes from the Vinoy Golf Club and the municipal course, Mangrove Bay. Placido Bayou is also minutes from downtown St. Pete’s dining, shopping and entertainment venues, I-275, sugar-sand beaches & two international airports.
