Property Description

Discover your sanctuary in the hidden enclave of Marina Bay, a premier community in southern St. Pete. Imagine a life where your home sits at a secure 17-foot elevation, providing peace of mind and effortless living. This is where your story begins in an exquisite 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom Delray Grande Villa, perfectly positioned to capture the best of coastal Florida. Your journey starts on the ground floor, in a truly remarkable 2,600 sq. ft. air-conditioned garage. This immense, versatile space is a dream for any enthusiast, ready to house your boat, a collection of four cars, or be transformed into the ultimate art studio and workshop. From here, a private elevator awaits to whisk you upstairs to nearly 2,600 sq. ft. of magnificent single-level living space. Step into a world of effortless elegance defined by soaring 10-foot ceilings, dramatic vaults, and solid core 8-foot interior doors. The open floor plan creates a seamless flow, guiding you into the heart of the home: a stunning gourmet kitchen. A chef’s delight, it features a premium Samsung appliance suite with gas cooking, lustrous wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and a massive walk-in pantry. Unwind in the master suite, a true sanctuary with a relaxing whirlpool tub and elegant tray ceilings. Every detail is crafted for comfort and sophistication, from the full-sized laundry room with built-in cabinets, granite countertops and sink that adds practicality and efficiency to the superior concrete block construction and impact-resistant windows. For ultimate security and efficiency, this home is equipped with a powerful natural gas 22kw Generac Generator (3 years old and recently serviced) and energy-saving Icynene spray foam insulation. Rest assured, this property experienced no damage from Hurricanes Helene or Milton, while the elevated construction significantly reduces transferrable flood insurance costs. Step outside onto your oversized terrace to entertain guests or simply relax while soaking in lush tropical gardens, breathtaking waterscapes and views of Boca Ciega Bay. The lifestyle in Marina Bay extends far beyond your front door. This pet-friendly community offers resort-style amenities, including two pools and spas, a clubhouse, a fitness center, intracoastal access to Boca Ciega Bay, and a deep-water marina with direct Gulf access. Located just off the Pinellas Bayway, you are moments from Eckerd College, downtown St Pete, and world-class beaches. The famed Pinellas Trail meets the community, offering endless opportunities for biking to Fort De Soto Park or the vibrant shores of St. Pete Beach. Or, simply enjoy a ride along the beautifully landscaped, protected streets within this paradise. This is more than a home; it’s your key to a coveted Florida lifestyle, combining luxury, location, and tranquility.
