Experience the distinctive lifestyle of Caya Costa, one of St. Pete’s most sought-after waterfront communities, where a 24-hour staffed guard gate, lush tropical surroundings, scenic lakes, and exceptional community amenities create a serene and private residential setting. Miles of walking paths wind throughout the neighborhood, while a private community boat ramp (with boat storage area) provides direct access to Tampa Bay. Remarkably peaceful yet exceptionally convenient, Caya Costa is just minutes from downtown St. Pete, the 4th Street N shopping and dining corridor, I-275, and Gandy Boulevard—offering the rare combination of tranquility and proximity to the best of St. Pete. Set within this exceptional community, this distinctive block-construction Spanish Mediterranean residence offers 4,259 square feet of living space on a 0.34-acre homesite, combining grand architectural character with extensive improvements and exceptional indoor-outdoor living. The home has no history of storm damage or flooding whatsoever and has undergone significant recent upgrades, including a NEW TILE ROOF, chimney, gutters with in-ground drainage, irrigation control system, two new HVAC systems, garage door, wrought-iron front railings, paver driveway and side landings, surge protectors, custom cabinetry in the first-floor laundry room, built-in family room bookcases, new shades in the great room and kitchen, a new saltwater pool system, newly refinished Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, recently painted exterior, and new front and side yard landscaping. A grand entry introduces an open floor plan with formal living and dining rooms and a great room featuring a soaring cathedral ceiling, custom built-in bookcases, stained-glass interior doors, and a fireplace. The formal dining room is distinguished by a striking stained-glass picture window, while a wet bar adds to the home’s entertaining appeal. Designed for both serious cooking and effortless entertaining, the expansive chef’s kitchen opens seamlessly to the great room and wet bar, creating a spacious and highly functional gathering area. Custom solid-wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, a generous center island, and a customized pantry provide abundant workspace and storage, while stainless steel appliances (new in 2024), include a Thermador oven, Frigidaire range, and Bosch dishwasher. Exceptional flexibility is found throughout the home with TWO PRIMARY SUITES—one upstairs and one downstairs—plus four additional bedrooms, an upstairs loft, two laundry rooms, five full bathrooms, and one-half bath, providing abundant space and privacy for family, guests, or multigenerational living. Outdoors, a resort-style pool deck creates a private tropical retreat, with multiple covered loggia and lounge areas surrounding the pool and spa, newly converted to saltwater. A true three-car garage completes the residence. Caya Costa residents enjoy a community pool, tennis and pickleball courts, scenic lakes, walking paths, a fishing dock, and a private boat ramp. Adding to Caya Costa’s distinctive appeal, optional on-site boat and watercraft storage—a rare community amenity in St. Pete—offers exceptional convenience for enjoying direct access to Tampa Bay. This combination of a 24-hour guard gate, waterfront amenities, lush natural surroundings, and exceptional proximity to downtown St. Petersburg makes Caya Costa one of the city’s most distinctive communities to call it home.
