$1,175,000 - 4400 Beach Drive Se, ST PETERSBURG

Wake up to the water every single day. This is the kind of home where mornings start with coffee on the balcony, watching the bay come alive, and evenings end with salty breezes and glowing sunsets over the water. Designed for real life as much as entertaining, this waterfront home offers an easy, flowing layout and open-water views from nearly every room. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like its own private retreat—two oversized walk-in closets, a cozy sitting area, and a spa-like bathroom with a soaking tub and separate shower. Step out onto the large balcony and you’ll instantly understand why this space is special. Downstairs, the home continues to impress with a second ensuite bedroom, two additional bedrooms tucked away for privacy, and a full bath—one bedroom opening directly to the waterfront patio. The living room, dining room, and kitchen all frame the water beautifully, making everyday moments feel anything but ordinary. Thoughtful details like tile floors throughout the main living spaces, built-in bookshelves, and a separate dining room add warmth and character, while abundant storage keeps everything feeling effortless. This home was built to last and thoughtfully upgraded: impact windows and expansive sliders that blur the line between inside and out, a newer metal roof with a lifetime warranty and hurricane strapping, and a two-car garage with a hurricane-rated door. It also stayed high and dry through recent storms—peace of mind you can feel. Outside is where the lifestyle truly shines. A covered lanai stretches across the back of the home, overlooking calm waters in a private cove where manatees are frequent visitors and boat traffic stays minimal. Fish from your dock, tie up your boat or jet ski at the floating dock or davits, and enjoy a low-maintenance yard that lets you spend more time on the water and less time on upkeep. Just three miles from downtown St. Petersburg, you’re close to everything—yet it still feels like a getaway. The island community offers parks, pickleball and tennis courts, dog parks, sports fields, and a scenic waterfront trail. Right off the island are local restaurants, coffee shops, and favorite neighborhood gathering spots. Bike downtown, head to the beaches or state parks, or skip traffic entirely and take your boat—dock space is waiting. Go the other direction and you’ll be in the Gulf in no time, with deep water access perfect for sailboats and powerboats alike. This isn’t just a waterfront home, t’s a lifestyle, and once you experience it, it’s hard to imagine living anywhere else.
