736 18th Ave NE

This newly built home is located in the most highly sought-after block of Old Northeast historic district of St. Pete, crafted by Modern Tampa Bay Homes. This domain has seemingly endless features with its tall ceilings, LED lighting, Porcelanosa tile throughout, 8ft high doors, 5 bedrooms, 5- baths, 2-car garage, surround sound inside and out, RH modern light fixtures, and we're just getting started! As you walk up to this stunning architectural masterpiece, the impressive stature of the classic traditional exterior speaks volumes of your good taste and appreciation to detail. It somehow prompts you to stand just a little taller. The sprawling terrace outside of the upstairs master bedroom awakens your whimsical side as you head toward the front porch. As you enter the brilliant porch hallway, there is a beautiful courtyard. To the right is an adorable studio for discerning guests. They will appreciate the privacy with a space all to their own. Or maybe you'll have it as a den or office. So many options! Three tall glass doors show off the cascading water curtains that glide into the stunning swimming pool and adjacent thick foliage that leans inward. To the left of the porch hallway, you enter the spacious living room and kitchen's open floor plan. The refrigerator and appliances are all thoughtfully designed and blended in with the lavish interior, while encompassing the natural lighting and outside landscape creating a spectacular experience of lush Florida living. This home is loaded with features and surprises! A seemingly innocent wall gives way to another room. A hideaway? A butler's cove? A walk-in pantry with wine cooler, counter and cabinet space? It's all yours to decide. The south living room wall feels almost nonexistent with its 3 magnificently tall sprawling glass doors that showcase the tropical water and garden paradise just beyond. Traversing the elegant designer staircase, you quickly make your up to the second floor that has 3 over-sized bedrooms and master suite all with their own bathrooms and walk-in showers with Porcelanosa finishes. Now, let's visit the amazing surrounding location. You're just a short walk to the Coffee Pot Bayou where you have the unique opportunity to watch manatees, dolphins and exotic birds in their natural habitats. Next, you can walk to the nearby North Shore Park Sports Complex where you can lay on the beach or play tennis, softball, or have a dip in the pool. Continuing your walk towards downtown, you can visit the Historic Vinoy Hotel and Vinoy Park where concerts and events are regularly happening. Then head over to Beach Drive (also within walking distance) for the finest dining experience you'll find anywhere in the country. After a satisfying meal, take a stroll and window-shop to your heart's content along the quality shops, clubs and spas for enjoyment and pampering. The newly-built St. Pete Pier is right near Beach Drive, where you can enjoy some great food and drinks with the incredible views of the bay and the downtown skyline. When you want some sun and relaxation, take a drive along the miles of coastline that offer some of the finest pristine beaches in the world. We weren't kidding when saying this home has it all and more! Homes in this district are hard to find, and this gem will not be available for long. If perfection, fun, luxury and opulent living is your cup of tea, don't wait to tour this amazing home located in a very special place to live.
