About 505 55th Ave

AN INSPIRING LUXURY WATERFRONT LIVING EXPERIENCE LOCATED IN THE HEART OF ST. PETE BEACH! A large circular driveway and lush subtropical landscaping introduce a wide and welcoming covered entry. Elegant wide-plank wood flooring, a wonderful array of skylights that deliver plenty of natural light, and spectacular water views visible across a rich open floor plan will assure an unforgettable living experience. The sumptuous and open chef’s kitchen features elegant white shaker-style cabinetry, fine granite surfaces, gorgeous small-tile blue backsplash, quality stainless steel appliances, an island prep center, and separate breakfast bar. An impressive great room concept integrates dining, living and kitchen areas in a way that maximizes your water views. Spacious owner’s suite boasts superb waterviews and a dazzling bath with dual vanities, coastal-modern wood cabinetry, quartz surfaces and a terrific walk-in glass rain-shower enclosure. 2nd and 3rd bedrooms are beautifully finished and the guest bath is luxurious in its appointments. The laundry facility is well-done, providing generous storage. Out back you’ll discover a captivating vision of paradise on the water! Luxury paver decking is tightly integrated with well-placed palm landscaping in a manner that calls you to the waterfront. Not to be outdone, is the absolutely stunning Pebbletec infinity pool & spa with lounging sun-shelf. By day, your pool seemingly disappears into the waterway; by early evening, radiant LED lighting produces a remarkable intimacy with sunsetting skies across the horizon. Separately, the rear yard offers substantial multi-purpose green space, an updated seawall, newer deep water composite dock, a 16,000 lb boat lift, and tie poles for a cruiser/sailboat – from here, you’re 15 minutes to the Gulf by Boat. The home’s many updates/upgrades include its kitchen and baths, its infinity pool/spa, solar electric panels (significantly lowering electric bills), newer windows and newer roof. The best of boating and the beach, with just a 5-minute walk to the nationally acclaimed powdersoft sands of St. Pete Beach. Situated in highly-desired Brightwater Beach Estates (where all the homes are on the water), you’ll find shopping, dining and entertainment are within easy walking distance. Close to downtown St. Petersburg (15-minute drive) and just 30 minutes to Tampa Airport. This is an extraordinary value in a superb waterfront location. Buyer to verify room dimensions.
