Under Construction. Every now and then, a home comes along built for the way people actually want to live. This is one of them. Set just a mile and a half from downtown Gulfport, with the world renowned beaches of Pinellas County minutes away and downtown St Pete only ten minutes out, the location alone is hard to beat. Close proximity to the Pinellas Trail adds even more convenience, making it easy to bike into downtown Saint Pete or out to the beaches. A striking two tone exterior and a covered front porch welcome you home, backed by impact windows and a location outside the flood zone. Out back, a fully fenced yard wraps around an inground concrete pool, built for easy afternoons and effortless entertaining, true Florida living right outside the door. Inside, ten foot ceilings and natural light carry through an open, easy flow from room to room. A designer entry leads up the stairwell hallway to the second floor, where a sculptural gold relief wall panel greets you, created by a woodworking artist who treats every project like a work of art. That same artist designed and installed the kitchen, and the difference shows. Most new construction treats the kitchen as an afterthought. This one does not. Custom cabinetry and vanities imported from Europe pair with Taj Mahal quartz countertops, glass front display cabinetry with integrated lighting, and top of the line appliances including a built in Samsung double wall oven. The adjoining dining area opens easily to the backyard, keeping the kitchen, dining, and pool just steps apart. The layout gives everyone room to spread out. A formal living room and a separate family room anchor the first floor, alongside a full primary suite. Upstairs, a second living room or office offers real flexibility, easily reimagined as a movie theater, a home office, or simply another place to unwind, so no one is stuck hanging out in their bedroom. Combined with the second upstairs primary suite, the layout works equally well for a growing family, guests, or multigenerational living. With 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths total, including two full primary suites and a half bath for guests, this home covers every need. Every closet throughout the home is finished with built out cabinetry, adding function to every corner. Each bathroom was finished by a tile artisan, with full height natural stone look tile and craftsmanship that sets it apart from standard builder grade work. The primary bath feels like a private retreat, with a freestanding soaking tub, walk in glass rain shower, dual floating vanities, and a custom walk in closet. Rounding things out, a detached 2 car garage keeps the backyard open around the pool, with a third parking spot alongside it for added convenience. Elevated, personal, and entirely one of a kind.
