Description

Experience luxury coastal living at “The Pink House,” a 2021-built home with stunning views of Boca Ciega Bay and Gulfport’s Waterfront District. This designer home features top-of-the line finishes and amenities with shades of easy neutrals accented with bursts of color – just like the community! With five different porch/balcony areas to enjoy, there’s space for everyone to enjoy. The kitchen is an entertainer’s delight, with a large island and breakfast bar, creamy granite countertops, a farmhouse sink, high-end stainless steel appliances – and lots of counter and cabinet space. Step outside here to a balcony for grilling. The open floor plan of this level features both formal and casual dining areas and a large living room with an adjacent wet bar, all focused on the water view – sip a cool beverage and watch the sailboats cruise by. The balcony here has a retractable awning for shade, and you can watch the sun both rise and set from this space. The bedrooms are all on the second level, and all are en suite. The primary suite has its own balcony overlooking the water and a walk-in closet large enough to accommodate a small office space. The second two bedrooms open to yet another balcony facing north. The entry is on the lower level, with a clever Harry Potter space – and of course, an elevator that serves all three levels. The oversized garage has plenty of space for a golf cart, or for a ping pong table in addition to ample storage. Outside on the main level is a patio area with a covered hot tub and plenty of space for corn hole or other games. Reminiscent of Charleston charm meets Key West funky, this home offers a high-end experience in a quirky, fun community. You’re just a half block from the beach, and surrounded by parks, a fishing pier, independently owned shops, restaurants and bars, and access to nature. Located in the Waterfront Redevelopment District, there is no restriction on short-term rentals. Hop in the car and be at the Gulf of Mexico and its sugar sand beach communities in 10 minutes, or in vibrant downtown St. Petersburg in 15-20 minutes. See for yourself how much you’ll love living – or vacationing – here!
