ST. PETERSBURG, FL – (April 10, 2026) – Michael Saunders & Company, the Gulf Coast’s leading independent real estate brokerage, has listed a $9.5 million penthouse at Vinoy Place—one of St. Petersburg’s most luxurious residences. Led by the Krawczyk Pagano Team, the downtown condominium at 555 5th Avenue NE offers spectacular views of Tampa Bay. Agents Keri Thigpen and Alicia Warburton bring their local market expertise and world-class service to this extraordinary listing, one of the most prestigious offerings in the region.
“As a St. Petersburg native, I am extremely proud to offer this iconic listing,” Keri Thigpen said. “We are also excited to say the Krawczyk Pagano Team recently sold Vinoy Place Penthouse #2 for $8 million. That transaction represented one of the highest condominium sales in St. Petersburg in the last twelve months.”
“Located atop the Vinoy Place complex, the residence features panoramic views of the vibrant downtown skyline,” remarked St. Petersburg branch manager Marc Caldarone. “This penthouse offers an abundance of outdoor terraces and balconies to entertain friends and family and enjoy our Florida West Coast lifestyle.”
The exquisite 5,359-square-foot penthouse has been completely transformed under the expert craftsmanship of Steven Anthony Luxury Homes. Spanning three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, this stunning residence blends refined design with lifestyle-driven functionality and is one of the market’s most compelling luxury offerings.
The comprehensive redesign spans every inch of the space, emphasizing sophisticated coastal living with a reimagined floorplan that maximizes views and natural light. Steven Anthony Luxury Homes collaborated with the owner on the transformation, which took more than two years to complete.
Key design and construction highlights include: A spacious chef’s kitchen with custom European cabinetry by Allikriste, quartzite countertops, a suite of high-end appliances including Wolf and Sub-Zero, and a discreet prep kitchen for effortless entertaining. Expansive open living areas with solid oak hardwood flooring throughout, 10-foot ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors opening to scenic wraparound balconies.
A dramatic 100-bottle wine wall and bespoke cocktail bar designed to frame views and enhance entertaining. A resort-style primary suite, complete with a fireplace, generous walk-in closet, and spa-inspired bath featuring a soaking tub, oversized shower, dual vanities, and private water closet. Two additional guest suites with custom closets and en-suite baths, plus a flexible den that functions as a private office or optional fourth bedroom. The renovation achieves a seamless balance of refined elegance and contemporary comfort, setting the stage for its most extraordinary chapter yet.
