Property Description

The largest townhome in gated Caya Costa. Three seamless additions expanded the original 1,796 sq ft floor plan to 2,462 heated and cooled sq ft, with no step-ups or step-downs anywhere: every addition sits on the same level as the original footprint. Real oak hardwood flooring runs throughout the entire home. Hurricane impact windows are installed throughout, including impact sliders in the downstairs family room, and every window has plantation shutters. The layout offers 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and three bonus spaces you won't find in any other Caya Costa townhome: BONUS 1 - The primary suite opens to a lake-view bonus room with two additional closets. It works as a sitting room, private office, nursery, or reading retreat. BONUS 2 - The family room off the kitchen was expanded by enclosing the original screened porch, and a new screened porch was added beyond it. That gives you two full living areas downstairs plus covered outdoor living overlooking the lake. BONUS 3 - The standard floor plan has a two-story open ceiling over the living room. In this home, the second floor was extended to create a full bonus room at the top of the staircase, suited to a home office, media room, playroom, gym, or guest lounge. The main level includes a living room with fireplace, crown molding, and recessed lighting, plus a dining area. The kitchen features granite counters with a full granite backsplash, solid wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a butcher-block prep counter with a second prep sink. Two additional built-in bars with glass-front cabinets, lighted granite tops, and extra storage make entertaining and morning coffee easy. Outside, a paver patio and lawn open to the lake view. A one-car garage, pet-friendly community, and low-maintenance townhome living complete the package. Caya Costa is a gated community with a 24/7 manned entry, a resort-style pool and hot tub with a covered gazebo, tennis and pickleball courts, a fishing pier on the canal, and a private boat ramp with a storage yard for boats, trailers, wave runners, kayaks, and paddleboards. The HOA fee covers roof replacement every 20 years, exterior painting every 7 years, annual pressure washing, gutter maintenance, front and back lawn mowing, reclaimed irrigation water, and sprinkler maintenance. A public park is nearby. Location is a standout. The home sits in the Gateway corridor of northeast St. Petersburg, with quick access to the Carillon business district, Downtown St. Petersburg, Clearwater, the Gandy and Howard Frankland bridges, Downtown Tampa, Hyde Park, Water Street, Benchmark International Arena, and Tampa International Airport. Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Publix are close by, and the home is convenient to major area employers including Raymond James, Jabil, Power Design, Franklin Templeton, Tech Data, and Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital. Flood Zone A. No homes in Caya Costa flooded during the 2024 hurricanes, and the neighborhood has no history of flooding. Space, storm-ready construction, and finishes like these are rare in a townhome at this price. Schedule your private showing today.
