***PRICE REDUCED*** A remarkable transformation awaits at 1801 Lakewood Drive S., where the character of an established St. Petersburg neighborhood meets the confidence of a home rebuilt for today's lifestyle. Set on a private corner lot overlooking the lush fairways of the St. Petersburg Country Club, this completely renovated home offers more than 2,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space in one of the city's most established neighborhoods.
Originally built in 1981 and completely reimagined for today's lifestyle, nearly every aspect of this home is brand new, including the roof, hurricane-impact windows, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, flooring, kitchen, bathrooms, fixtures, doors, trim and finishes. The result is the style today's buyers want, paired with the peace of mind they deserve.
Inside, the split-level design creates an inviting flow rarely found in today's cookie-cutter floor plans. The welcoming foyer leads to an impressive living room with soaring ceilings and a dramatic picture window that fills the home with natural light. Just a few steps away, the beautifully redesigned kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a center island cooktop with a built-in microwave, breakfast bar seating, and generous dining space designed for everything from casual weeknight dinners to holiday gatherings. French doors open directly onto the spacious deck, creating a seamless transition for indoor and outdoor entertaining.
The flexible floor plan offers four true bedrooms, including a private main-level bedroom with its own French doors opening to the backyard, making it ideal for guests, multigenerational living, a home office, or anyone seeking first-floor convenience. Upstairs, the primary retreat features two closets, including an oversized walk-in, and a beautifully appointed ensuite bath complete with a rainfall shower, handheld sprayer, designer tile, and contemporary finishes. Two additional bedrooms and another fully renovated bathroom complete the upper level.
Outside, the experience continues. The fenced backyard overlooks open green space, while the elevated deck provides the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee, evening sunsets, or gatherings with family and friends. Mature trees, only one adjoining residential neighbor, and the drainage corridor beyond the rear fence combine to create an uncommon sense of privacy and openness rarely found within the city.
Located in an X500 flood zone and enhanced by hurricane-impact windows and a new roof, this home also offers features that may contribute to favorable long-term insurance considerations.
The location is equally impressive. Golf is just beyond your backyard, while Boyd Hill Nature Preserve, Downtown St. Petersburg, the St. Pete Pier, waterfront parks, marinas, award-winning Gulf beaches, I-275, Tampa, and St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport are all within easy reach. Whether you're commuting, enjoying a day on the water, exploring local restaurants, or heading to the beach, you'll appreciate the convenience of calling Lakewood Country Club Estates home.
Beautifully designed, completely renovated, and perfectly positioned, this is more than a home. It's an opportunity to enjoy the best of St. Petersburg from a home where every major detail has already been thoughtfully completed.
