Enjoy some of the best views St. Petersburg has to offer from this elegant residence in one of the citys most desirable towers. The 02 line is the most sought after in The Florencia, facing directly toward the water with wide open, unobstructed views of Tampa Bay and the downtown waterfront. From the 19th floor, the vantage point is exceptional, with the expanse of the bay stretching out by day and the St. Petersburg Pier beautifully illuminated at night. A wall of windows spans the main living area, kitchen, and owners suite, fostering constant enjoyment of the stunning views. Two private balconies frame the waterfront and provide perfect spots to take in the bayside breezes with morning coffee as the sun rises out of the bay or evening beverages as the Pier comes alive with light. Gorgeous walnut floors with a stunning hand cut inlay set the tone as you enter the grand foyer, leading to open living and dining spaces highlighted by three oval tray ceilings in the foyer, dining room, and living room for architectural elegance. The kitchen offers abundant storage, granite counters, and a suite of Viking appliances, including two built in microwavesperfect for warming leftovers from the endless array of celebrated restaurants just steps away. The dining room easily accommodates twelve for formal gatherings, and the home is richly detailed with extensive built ins, fine woodwork, and crown moldings that carry throughout. The master suite is beyond luxurious, with a generous bedroom that provides room for both a large bedroom set and a sitting area, incredible water views, and direct access to its own balcony. Of the three bedrooms, one is currently configured as a media room and another as an office, which could easily be converted back to a bedroom. The home is full of thoughtful details to enhance entertaining and day to day living, including a living room wet bar, a full electronics suite, and more.
