The story
Behind the gates of Placido Bayou, this beautiful two-bedroom, two-bath villa brings together light-filled living spaces and the privacy of your own fenced backyard. Surrounded by tree-lined streets and peaceful lakes, it’s a place to feel tucked away while staying close to everything you love about St. Petersburg. Inside, vaulted ceilings and abundant light create an immediate sense of openness, while the living and dining areas flow together comfortably. Whether gathering with friends or settling in for a quiet evening, the layout makes each space feel connected and inviting. The kitchen opens to the main living areas, keeping conversation close, while a generous cabinet space provides plenty of room for everyday essentials. The split floor plan brings privacy to both bedrooms, giving you and your guests space to feel at home. The master bedroom offers a walk-in closet and large en suite bath, with a walk-in shower, and access to the backyard. Throughout the residence, its beautifully maintained condition reflects the care it has received, including updated plumbing. A one-car garage adds practical convenience with room for storage, as well as a washer and dryer. Outside, your own private backyard offers room to enjoy the Florida lifestyle. Fully fenced and framed by greenery, it’s a setting for afternoons in the sunshine, dinner with friends, or a little gardening. The screened lanai creates a comfortable place to enjoy the fresh air, while a dedicated grilling area makes outdoor meals an easy part of your routine. With lawn care included, there’s more time to enjoy the space around you. When a pool day calls, the community pool is just a short walk away. Most importantly, this home sits at a high elevation, with no history of flooding. Placido Bayou offers a landscape of mature trees, nature preserves, and sparkling lakes. Walks through the neighborhood bring opportunities to spot birds and other wildlife, catch up with neighbors, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. A staffed, 24-hour gated entrance adds to the sense of privacy that makes this community so special. Despite its peaceful atmosphere, the community is just minutes from the vibrant waterfront of St. Petersburg, where renowned dining, boutique shopping, world-class arts, and year-round events await. Award-winning beaches and airports are also just a short drive away, and the Racquet Club of St Petersburg is at the entry of the neighborhood, where you can enjoy both pickle ball and tennis! With bright, inviting interiors, a private outdoor retreat, and a location that keeps you close to it all, this home is the place to settle in and enjoy the best of St. Pete living.
