Positioned on the top floor of South Bay Condos on Sunshine Skyway Ln, Residence #901 brings an unexpected urban edge to waterfront living in St. Petersburg. Exposed concrete ceilings, industrial-inspired lighting and clean contemporary finishes give the home the character of a modern loft, while expansive windows and sliding glass doors open the living spaces to sweeping views across Tampa Bay toward the Gulf. The open-concept interior feels spacious and connected from the moment you enter. A gallery-style foyer leads into the main living area, where the kitchen, dining and living spaces flow together beneath exposed concrete ceilings, architectural track lighting and contemporary fixtures. Large-format plank tile runs throughout, reinforcing the home's clean, modern aesthetic. At the center of the residence, the kitchen pairs modern high-gloss gray cabinetry with stainless steel appliances, crisp white countertops and a substantial island with counter seating. Oversized industrial-style pendant lights add character overhead, while the open layout keeps the kitchen connected to the living and entertaining spaces beyond. The living room takes full advantage of the top-floor setting. Wide sliding glass doors frame the water and open directly to the covered balcony, extending the living space outdoors. From morning coffee to an evening cocktail, the backdrop is pure Florida—water, sky and a horizon that seems to stretch for miles. The primary suite offers a comfortable retreat, while the second bedroom is one of the home's most versatile spaces. Designed to function as a guest room, home office or creative studio, it features a built-in Murphy bed, extensive cabinetry, an integrated workspace and direct access to the waterfront balcony. Close the bed away and the room becomes a spacious office; open it and guests have a comfortable private retreat. A generous walk-in closet provides additional storage. Throughout the residence, thoughtful details set #901 apart, including exposed concrete ceilings, gallery-style art displays, contemporary ceiling fans, track and recessed lighting, built-in storage and a distinctive mix of polished and industrial finishes. From nine stories above the waterfront, expansive views stretch across Tampa Bay toward the Gulf, while the covered balcony provides a front-row seat to the changing light, passing boats and coastal landscape below. Modern, flexible and distinctly different, Residence #901 offers the feel of a city loft in a waterfront St. Petersburg setting—top-floor living, contemporary design and remarkable water views all in one.
