An exceptional opportunity to own a truly private waterfront oasis in the highly sought after gated community of Placido Bayou. Positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on a street with only four homes, this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence offers 170 feet of waterfront, a private dock with boat lift, direct boating access to Tampa Bay, and unmatched safety and privacy. The setting is exceptionally secluded, surrounded by mature trees and towering mangroves that create a natural privacy screen and give the home a peaceful, resort-like feel. A large pool and attached spa, expansive covered patio, and waterfront setting create an ideal environment for entertaining or simply enjoying your own private retreat. Inside, the home has been extensively renovated with a dramatic fully open-concept first floor, soaring 10-foot ceilings, and a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring an oversized island, Calacatta quartzite countertops, all new cabinetry, premium appliances, separate wine and beverage refrigerators, built-in storage, and abundant light. A second-floor loft/flex space overlooks the main living area, while all four bedrooms are generously sized to easily accommodate king beds. The home has also been thoughtfully upgraded for safety, security, and energy efficiency, including hurricane-impact windows and doors, a new tile roof, block construction with hurricane-strapped roof trusses, 33 solar panels, and two Tesla Powerwalls. The home and garage sustained no flooding or damage during Hurricanes Helene and Milton, and operated with full whole-house power during the long 9-day electric grid outage, providing a true sanctuary both during and after the storms. Additional features include a large circular paver driveway, an oversized deep two-car garage with built-in organization and storage, whole-house water softener, two laundry rooms, extensive smart-home automation, and numerous additional upgrades. Placido Bayou offers a 24-hour manned security gate, mature tree-lined streets, lakes, green space, and walking paths, all just minutes from downtown St. Petersburg. For those seeking a waterfront home that combines privacy, security, boating access, extensive renovations, and a true private-oasis feel, this is a rare opportunity.
