1695 PINELLAS BAYWAY S #D1

Experience the pinnacle of upscale waterfront living in this stunning three-bedroom, three-bathroom 2,000+ sq.ft. condo located in the exclusive, gated island community of Hidden Lagoon, on the picturesque Gulf Coast island community of Tierra Verde. Just over 4,000 island residents enjoy a high standard of living with access to fine dining, boutique shopping, and recreational activities such as fishing, kayaking, and golf.  Entering through the gates of Hidden Lagoon, you are immersed in a tropical resort feel with Tuscan-influenced colors and red tile roofs. Lush, grassy areas dotted with mature palm trees and immaculate landscaping provide a sense of calm as you pull into your private parking space in a covered garage. Stepping inside this meticulously maintained condo, you are greeted by a spacious living area designed for both relaxation and entertaining. The open floor plan seamlessly connects the living room, dining area, and kitchen, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Large, sliding glass doors frame the picturesque view of the mangrove-protected docks and boat slips; walk onto the expansive, tiled balcony to enjoy serene sunrises overlooking the water. Catch a glimpse of dolphins, manatees, and other wildlife we enjoy in the Sunshine State. The gourmet chef's kitchen features Corian counters, sleek stainless steel appliances, a two-tiered breakfast bar, and ample cabinetry.  Impressive crown molding and consistent design choices create a flow between the spaces that continues into the bedrooms. The oversized primary suite is the definition of a private retreat with a wall of windows overlooking the mangroves and water and a floor plan with ample room for a bedroom set and sitting area. A sizable walk-in closet has custom features, including a large mirror, built-in drawers, and plenty of storage. The en-suite bath has dual sinks, a glass-enclosed shower, a large separate soaker tub, and a bidet. The additional, tastefully-designed full bathrooms provide convenience and style.  Constructed in 2000, this single-owner residence was used only as a vacation home and is in practically new condition! Tile flooring throughout offers easy maintenance and longevity. This unit was upgraded with features you won’t find in other Hidden Lagoon units, including a reverse-osmosis water system, a primary closet build-out, custom millwork, and much more.  Life in Hidden Lagoon offers an array of resort-style amenities. Take a dip year-round in multiple heated pools, or challenge friends or neighbors to a match on the tennis and pickleball courts. Stay fit in the well-equipped fitness center and take advantage of the poolside gas grills and seating for al fresco dining.  Tierra Verde’s close-knit community is known for its friendly, welcoming vibe, making it a popular choice for those seeking a peaceful, coastal lifestyle. Ride your bikes around the island on numerous trails. Experience unique local restaurants and shops with quick access to world-class beaches and Fort DeSoto State Park. An easy 15-minute commute takes you to the nightlife and dining options in downtown St. Petersburg. In 45 minutes, you can be in downtown Tampa to take in a Buccaneers, Bolts or Rays game in this major media market. This exceptional residence offers the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and convenience, set against the backdrop of breathtaking water views and an array of world-class amenities.
