487 PINELLAS BAYWAY S UNIT 202

Prepare yourself to be thrilled by one of the most unique and beautiful townhomes in the St. Petersburg area. This gorgeous home features a 3-bedroom 2 ½ bath main residence, as well as a 1-bedroom, 1-bath guest apartment over a 2-car garage, separated by a lovely garden courtyard. Elegantly appointed, the property lives like a single-family home, but without all the work and worry. It offers all the room and livability of a spacious freestanding house with the convenience of a small, well-run townhome community. If you must leave for a while, simply lock the door, and your backyard, pool, driveway, and grounds will be handled for you. A handsome iron gate leads to the quiet, private courtyard, happily welcoming you home and impressing your guests as they arrive. Beautiful coastal wood floors flow through this striking home, enriching its open, flowing feel. The kitchen is rich with wooden cabinetry, always in style, granite counter space for several cooks, and upscale appliances. The unique placement of the dining room allows it to be separate and special, yet open to the rest of the home. Just off the kitchen, the casual dining area is perfect for every day intimate meals. Fortunately, the impressive great room with its stunning fireplace and walls of windows can be seen and enjoyed from most living areas. All three of the bedrooms in the main home are spacious and bright, but the primary bedroom suite is nothing short of extraordinary, with vaulted ceilings, handsome shiplap walls, a private screened patio, and a sumptuous bath, featuring a large soaking tub, dual glass sink vanity, and frameless walk-in shower. It’s just delightful. In addition to the three bedrooms, the main house also sports a large loft area, perfect for guests, an office, a workout room, or whatever else for which you might need some extra space. The outdoor living is also wonderful, with both a covered and screened porch and a large, sun-drenched deck overlooking the rear gardens. The apartment over the garage features an apartment with an open floor plan with full kitchen, a private bedroom, a full bath, and closet space. Another valuable addition with a ton of potential uses. The finishes throughout the home are truly wonderful, and features like impact-rated windows, stained wood crown molding and baseboards, exceptional light fixtures, wainscoting, and so much more make this a genuinely wonderful and practical home. Bridgewater Townhomes is a waterfront community with an upscale, tropical feel. Walk down the garden path to the waterside pool and enjoy views over the wide canal towards Sands Point. The island of Tierra Verde is a subtropical paradise like no other. With an outstanding collection of restaurants and services right here on the island, and the vibrancy of downtown St. Petersburg and its museums, entertainment, restaurants, and nightlife just minutes away, you’ve got everything you need close at hand. Plus, you’ve got quick access to multiple international airports, including TPA, PIE, and SPG, as well as to the perennially award-winning coastline of St. Pete Beach and Historic Pass-a-Grille. Tierra Verde is also the gateway to Ft. DeSoto, with its miles of pristine white sand beaches, hiking/biking/blading trails, and some of the best kayaking you’ll ever encounter. Come see for yourself. You won’t be disappointed. ** Owner financing may be available, and boat slips may be available to rent **
