Description

Welcome to this beautiful 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom first-floor waterfront condo in the peaceful and private community of Ciega Verde. Enjoy serene views of the intracoastal waterway right from your covered back patio—with a convenient back-patio stairwell for easy access to the grounds and docks—where you can unwind amid lush landscaping and relaxing breezes. Inside, the freshly painted interior showcases a kitchen that’s a true centerpiece, featuring rich wood shaker cabinets, granite countertops, a center island, decorative open shelving, stainless steel appliances, and tile flooring throughout. Expansive windows flood the space with natural light, especially in the dining area which overlooks the tranquil canal. The spacious primary suite offers dual closets and a luxurious ensuite bathroom complete with a modern barn door, double vanity, and floor-to-ceiling tiled standing shower. The secondary bedroom is generous in size, with garden views and abundant natural light. An updated guest bathroom in the hallway features a quartz countertop vanity, updated tub/shower combo and fixtures, pebble flooring, and a lighted mirror. The open-concept living area connects seamlessly to the kitchen and includes a wood-burning fireplace and large sliding glass doors leading to the covered patio. The patio itself boasts beautiful art deco flooring, a bar area, kitchen pass-through, a new ceiling fan, and convenient storage—perfect for entertaining or relaxing outdoors. Practical upgrades abound: a new roof (2025), new AC (2025), and a dedicated inside utility closet with a full-size washer and dryer make living and maintenance a breeze. Enjoy the convenience of an assigned covered parking space just steps from your front door, along with an additional open parking space and guest parking for visitors. This condo experienced no flooding during last year’s hurricanes; although on the first floor, the residence is set on raised construction that helps keep the living space above potential water intrusion. Association fees include: water, sewer, trash collection, pool maintenance, pest control, exterior maintenance, insurance incl. flood, and grounds care. Ciega Verde is an intimate, laid-back community with just 32 units—offering privacy and a true sense of retreat. Community amenities include a pool, walking paths, waterfront seating, and fishing. Just minutes away is one of the world’s most unique nature preserves, a cluster of "Keys" reminiscent of the Florida Keys, offering endless opportunities to explore. Enjoy quick and easy access to the Gulf of Mexico by boat (slips are available to rent) and be just a 10-minute drive from downtown St. Petersburg, renowned restaurants, and the world-famous beaches of St. Pete Beach and Pass-a-Grille. Everyone who stays here falls in love—come see why.
