Secluded 4-Bed 2.5-Bath Waterfront Retreat on Tampa Bay – Minutes from Downtown St. Pete

This inviting 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence blends privacy, character, and convenience in one of St. Petersburgs most tranquil waterfront enclaves. Nestled on a secluded private drive along Big Bayou, the home offers panoramic views of a serene estuary, where sailboats drift through protected open waters with direct access to Tampa Bay.

Inside, abundant natural light enhances a thoughtful layout designed for relaxed living and entertaining. Two spacious waterfront bedrooms enjoy stunning bay views and walk-out access to a tree-shaded deck. One of the waterfront bedrooms features soaring ceilings and bay windows, offering a serene retreat. Its generous proportions also make it ideal as an elegant media lounge or creative studio, giving you flexibility to tailor the space to your lifestyle. A guest room tucked at the rear features a private half bath, creating a comfortable haven for visitors or a dedicated home office.

Outdoors, the bayside of the home feels like a coastal sanctuary, with a well-maintained waterfront deck and boat lift that invite you to pause and take in the scenery. A sandy shoreline alive with wildlife offers exceptional fishing, vibrant birdlife, and near-daily dolphin sightings. Mature pines and coconut palms frame the property, while lush landscaping and soft bay breezes create a setting that is both serene and vibrant. At the front, a jasmine-lined yard provides privacy, and an oversized two-car garage with generous driveway parking adds convenience for residents and guests alike.

The location strikes a rare balance of seclusion and accessibility: stroll through Driftwoods historic oak-canopied streets, unwind at Lassing Parks bayfront greenspace, or bike downtown in under 10 minutes along scenic waterfront trails. Here, youre immersed in nature yet moments from St. Petes finest dining, shopping, and cultural attractions. This is as close as private waterfront living gets to the heart of the city.
