This week’s Mansion Monday takes us to one of St. Petersburg’s most desirable neighborhoods — Venetian Isles — where elegant waterfront homes meet the laid-back charm of coastal living. Tucked along the tranquil waters of Carolina Avenue NE, this stunning property perfectly captures what it means to live the Florida dream.

From the moment you pull into the driveway, you’re welcomed by lush tropical landscaping and a sense of peace knowing this home has remained dry through recent hurricanes — a rare reassurance for waterfront living.

A Home Designed for Comfort and Connection

Step inside, and natural light floods every corner of the open-concept layout. The spacious living and dining areas flow together seamlessly, offering panoramic views of the sparkling waters of Tampa Bay. Whether you’re hosting family gatherings or enjoying a quiet evening, the atmosphere here is both elegant and inviting.

At the heart of the home lies a beautifully designed kitchen, complete with a gas range, breakfast bar, and a sink overlooking the bay — the perfect place to sip your morning coffee as the sun rises over the water. Just beyond the kitchen, a second living space offers flexibility as a cozy family room, creative studio, or home office.

This thoughtfully designed residence features three large bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, including a newly added indoor utility room that adds both convenience and functionality. The primary suite is truly a retreat — spacious and serene, with calming water views, a private en-suite bath, and a generous walk-in closet.

A Backyard Built for Florida Living

Step outside and you’ll instantly understand why this home stands apart. The backyard has been completely transformed into a resort-style outdoor oasis, where no detail was overlooked.

Spend your weekends floating in the brand new custom Sekas pool, complete with a sunken heated spa, or unwind on the turfed backyard and paver patio, surrounded by new privacy hedges and tropical landscaping. The new elevated seawall and large dock make it easy to fish, relax, or set off on a sunset cruise. There’s even space to add a boat lift and dock, with direct, unobstructed access to Tampa Bay right from your backyard.

The Best of St. Pete at Your Doorstep

Beyond the home itself, the location is truly unbeatable. Venetian Isles is a highly sought-after, deed-restricted community known for its pride of ownership and peaceful, scenic streets. From here, you’re only minutes from top-rated schools, shopping, and dining, and just a short four-mile trip to Downtown St. Petersburg, where you’ll find world-class restaurants, art galleries, and waterfront parks.

Take your kayak or paddleboard straight from your backyard to Weedon Island Preserve, or spend the afternoon exploring the area’s hidden coves and wildlife. When it’s time to travel, you’re conveniently close to both Tampa International Airport and St. Pete–Clearwater Airport, making weekend getaways effortless.
