Under contract-accepting backup offers. Waterfront perfection in the undisputed, world’s best neighborhood, Riviera Bay. Take a breath… because this one is special. From the moment you step through the french doors, your eyes are immediately drawn through the home to the shimmering waters of Sun Lit Cove. Situated on an expansive 11,000+ square foot lot—larger than most in the neighborhood—this mid-century modern beauty blends timeless architecture with thoughtful, high-end updates. With over 2,000 square feet of living space, three spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms. The extra long, one-car garage provides excellent storage and functionality. Inside, gleaming terrazzo floors and vaulted ceilings create light and volume. A full wall of sliding glass doors seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor living, filling the home with natural light while framing spectacular waterfront views.
The kitchen is exactly where you want it—open, modern, and perfectly positioned to capture views of the cove while staying connected to the main living space. The owner’s suite offers a calm and private retreat with an elegant ensuite bath, two closets including a spacious walk-in closet. Poolside lounging under the covered lanai, an outdoor shower for post-swim rinses, and mature tropical landscaping featuring mango, banana, and coconut trees create a backyard that feels like your own private retreat. Nearly 100 feet of strong seawall lines the waterfront, with two covered boat lifts—a 10,000 lb covered lift for your larger vessel and a 7,000 lb lift for spontaneous sunset cruises. A 30-amp hookup at the dock supports your boat while another 30-amp on the parking pad supports an RV, trailers and water toys. Lastly, the hot tub pad is set up for 60-amp. Dolphins and manatees are frequent visitors, adding a magical touch to everyday living. In Riviera Bay, community truly matters. Residents enjoy a private community boat ramp, two waterfront parks, golf cart parades, the beloved Christmas Eve Boat Parade, and American flags lining the streets every Fourth of July. As the locals say, “It’s always a great day in Riviera Bay.” All of this is just minutes from vibrant downtown St. Petersburg, a short drive to Tampa and beaches with convenient access to two international airports.
