Experience the rare balance of luxury, resilience, and tranquility in Marina Bay, one of St. Petersburg's premier gated waterfront communities and unquestionably one of the best values currently available in all of Marina Bay. Perfectly positioned within this coastal enclave, this spacious corner residence is wrapped in natural light, with expansive windows that create an airy, inviting atmosphere from the moment you arrive via your semi private elevator into your private foyer. Thoughtfully designed for both everyday comfort and effortless entertaining, the residence features three bedrooms, two baths, a generous primary suite overlooking the peaceful pond, abundant closet space, a large laundry room, and a beautifully appointed kitchen with high-end stainless appliances and breakfast bar flowing seamlessly into the dining and great room area. Sliding doors open to a spacious covered lanai where mornings begin with coffee and calm water views, and evenings end with spectacular Florida sunsets reflected across the pond. Built with exceptional quality, this all-block construction building is hurricane-rated, offering peace of mind and features two under-building parking spaces as well as a private storage unit. Designer details include coffered ceilings, plantation shutters, gorgeous chandeliers and more. Life at Marina Bay feels more like a private waterfront resort than a neighborhood, with two pools, two spas, a fitness center, marina, fishing pier, and three resident day docks ideal for enjoying the boating lifestyle. From time to time, boat slips may also be available for purchase within the community. Pet-friendly and lushly landscaped, Marina Bay is ideally located just minutes from the white sand beaches of St. Pete Beach, Pass-a-Grille Beach and a short 10 minute drive to downtown St. Petersburg offering waterfront dining boutique shopping and museums and conveniently just 30 minutes to Tampa International Airport-offering the perfect combination of luxury condo living, coastal convenience, and resort-style amenities along Florida's Gulf Coast.
