745 WHITE SAND DRIVE NE

Situated on a large lot behind the gates of Placido Bayou, this beautiful custom-built home offers a well-designed layout spanning over three bedrooms and two baths. High-end touches greet you upon entry and continue throughout the home, including vaulted ceilings, hardwood hickory flooring, and arched windows. Enjoy the freedom of a flexible floor plan with an eat-in kitchen, separate dining space, and bonus room that would make an ideal home office, home gym, or nursery. Sliding glass doors off living space lead out to your screened lanai and idyllic backyard, with plenty of room for a pool! The kitchen, open to the living area, has an abundance of maple KraftMaid cabinetry, a spacious breakfast bar, Cambria countertops, and stainless steel appliances. The home's desirable features extend into the master suite, with a large walk-in closet, en suite bath with a walk-in shower, and easy access to your bonus room and lanai. While the home has many attractive features, there are also practical updates that you will enjoy, including an interior laundry room, new windows, plantation shutters, water softener, and epoxy flooring in the garage. The exterior of the home is just as pleasing, with meticulous landscaping, stunning crepe myrtes with fuchsia blooms, and a paver driveway. Live at ease knowing the HOA covers your lawn maintenance, fencing, and exterior house painting (every 7 years). Beyond the luxury of your home, the guard gated community of Placido Bayou feels like a paradise with picturesque lakes for fishing, scenic paths for running, and lush trees providing shade and tranquility. All of this is conveniently located just minutes from downtown St. Petersburg’s vibrant waterfront, with easy access to an array of dining options, boutique shopping, world-class arts, cultural and sporting events. Beaches, airports, and golf courses are also just a short drive away, and the Racquet Club of St Petersburg is at the entry of the neighborhood, where you can enjoy both pickleball and tennis! Welcome home to the sweet life, unwind and enjoy the tranquility of your own Florida paradise.
