Welcome to one of the most coveted and rarely available end units in Sun Ketch, a charming townhome community in Northeast St. Petersburg. Beautifully maintained inside and out, this move-in-ready residence offers peace of mind with concrete block construction on the first floor, brand-new PGT hurricane-impact windows and French doors (2025), and a new roof (2025). Notably, the community experienced no water intrusion during the 2024 hurricanes and sits at an approximate base elevation of 9.4 feet above sea level. Designed with both comfort and functionality in mind, the main living area features an open and inviting floor plan filled with abundant natural light. Rich bamboo flooring flows throughout most of the home, complemented by fresh interior paint, crown molding, and upgraded wood stair treads. The spacious living and dining areas seamlessly connect to the kitchen, which showcases espresso wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, bar seating, and a striking exposed brick accent wall that adds warmth and character. A versatile first-floor bedroom or home office and a convenient guest powder room complete the main level. Upstairs, you'll find two generously sized bedroom suites separated by a dedicated laundry room with included washer and dryer. The primary suite features vaulted ceilings, a large walk-in closet, and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with dual vanities, a soaking tub, walk-in shower, linen storage, and a private water closet. The secondary bedroom also offers an en-suite bathroom and spacious walk-in closet, creating privacy and comfort for family members or guests. One of the home's standout features is the private courtyard leading to a detached two-car garage and a separate studio retreat above. Complete with its own full bathroom, this flexible space can serve as a home office, guest suite, media room, fitness studio, creative space, or multi-generational living area. As an end unit, the home enjoys additional privacy and features a private side gate with direct access to the community green space, perfect for pets and outdoor enjoyment.
