Tucked away in the gated community of Placido Bayou, this beautifully maintained townhome offers peace, privacy, and an unbeatable preserve backdrop. Located at the end of a quiet cul de sac in The Preserve section, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home spans nearly 2,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings and rich wood floors create a warm and welcoming ambiance, while walls of glass fill the home with natural light and frame lush views of the protected nature preserve just beyond your screened patio. The spacious living room centers around a cozy wood burning fireplace, offering the perfect spot to unwind or entertain. The updated kitchen features ample cabinetry and connects seamlessly to both the formal dining area and a casual breakfast nook. A beautifully refreshed half bath adds modern appeal on the main level. Upstairs, a versatile loft and den with built in shelving provide flexible space for a home office, reading nook, or creative retreat. Two generous bedrooms share this level, one with access to a private terrace overlooking the trees. Outside, the screened patio and surrounding preserve views create a true sense of tranquility, ideal for morning coffee or evening relaxation. Additional highlights include a two car garage, ample storage throughout, and access to the community pool just steps away. Placido Bayou is known for its lush landscaping, scenic walking paths, and serene lakes filled with local wildlife, all just minutes from downtown St. Pete's vibrant dining, arts, and waterfront scene.
