Virtually Staged. Experience premium villa-style living in Watermark—a quiet, upscale waterfront community in desirable Northeast St. Petersburg located on a deep-water canal with quick access to Tampa Bay. This solid concrete-block home offers the ultimate peace of mind with a brand-new metal roof (2024), full protection from hurricane impact windows, custom Bahama shutters, and zero history of flooding. Designed for comfort and versatility, the multi-level layout features two primary suites with ensuite baths plus a spacious bonus room. Inside, the home lives like a brand-new condo thanks to a top-to-bottom renovation. Upgrades include a new Rheem HVAC system, new water heater, beautiful new wood and tile flooring, retextured ceilings, updated lighting, modern fans, and a large living room complete with a built-in bar. The open-concept kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring custom soft-close cabinetry, granite countertops, a farmhouse sink, stainless appliances, a wine fridge, a built-in desk, a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and a massive center island with seating. All bathrooms have been fully renovated with high-end modern tile, granite counters, and updated fixtures. Outside, step onto your private oversized paver patio offering peaceful views —a true oasis perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. Additional functional upgrades include a garage with a storm-reinforced door, pull-down attic storage, wood shelving, pegboards, and an EV/generator outlet. Residents enjoy an active coastal lifestyle with a waterfront boardwalk, a 2015 seawall, and a community dock offering kayak and paddleboard access to Weedon Island's nature channels. A low-maintenance lifestyle is fully supported by a proactive HOA that provides comprehensive coverage—including exterior building maintenance, building insurance, cable TV, high-speed internet, water, trash, private road maintenance, and professional management. The location is unbeatable: just steps from local public and private schools (including Canterbury and Shorecrest), the Speer YMCA, and less than a mile (a quick golf cart ride!) from Mangrove Bay Golf Course. You’re only minutes from 4th Street dining, vibrant downtown St. Petersburg, and an easy ~25-minute drive (~20 miles) to downtown Tampa and Tampa International Airport. Whether you are seeking an effortless primary residence or a turn-key seasonal getaway, this gorgeous waterfront villa delivers exceptional value!
