This recently updated, one-of-a-kind waterfront home offers some of the best views in Brighton Bay, ideally located on the St. Petersburg side of the Gandy Bridge. The highly sought-after community provides easy access to Downtown St. Petersburg, local beaches, South Tampa, and both international airports. Recent upgrades include fresh interior and exterior paint, new stainless steel GE appliances, updated lighting and mirrors, and refreshed landscaping. The Ring doorbell and Ring security lights and cameras are included with the sale. Featuring high ceilings throughout, this spacious 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home feels bright and open. It offers 2,698 square feet of living space on a 10,000-square-foot lot, along with a 3-car garage. The roof was replaced with a 50-year warranty, and the gutters with leaf guards were installed at the same time. The kitchen showcases quartz countertops, a white tile backsplash, a large center island, and abundant cabinetry. A generous laundry room provides ample storage and includes a newer washer and dryer. The primary suite is truly impressive, highlighted by crown molding, decorative alcoves, two walk-in closets, and an additional bonus room currently used as a custom closet. Both the front and backyard feature tropical landscaping and a Rain Bird sprinkler system. Enjoy tranquil water views from the screened back porch, complete with an outdoor grill—perfect for entertaining on the freshwater lake. Brighton Bay is a welcoming community with resort-style amenities, including a large pool, two tennis courts, a volleyball court, playground, and dog park. Weeden Island Preserve is located directly across the street, offering kayaking, canoeing, boardwalks, and scenic hiking trails. Best of all, this home remained high and dry with no flooding during past hurricanes.
