Inside, the home has been opened up and thoughtfully refreshed for modern living. The remodeled kitchen features custom cabinetry, updated appliances, and a natural connection to the main living areas, creating the easy, open flow today's buyers want. Six Sono-Tube skylights added in 2025 bring in beautiful natural light, making the living spaces feel bright, warm, and inviting throughout the day.
Step outside and the property becomes something truly special. The backyard feels like a private tropical retreat, with a curated collection of exotic plants, many flowering and many identified with small botanical markers, creating a garden experience reminiscent of a private Sunken Gardens escape. This is not typical landscaping - it is a living collection, carefully cultivated over time and impossible to replicate quickly.
The pool is the star of the show! Significantly larger than most residential pools, it was renovated in 2023 with updated equipment and a saltwater conversion, creating the kind of outdoor lifestyle buyers move to Florida to enjoy. The Sun Room has a custom marbleized epoxy floor, insulated ceiling and new TPO roof, making it an ideal space for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying the garden views year-round.
The list of improvements continues with fresh exterior paint, updated irrigation, new sod, new fencing and gates, updated bathrooms, a custom-built shed, garage ceiling replacement, full pool lanai screen replacement, and extensive landscaping added from 2022 through 2026. Very few homes in this price range have this level of care, completeness, and personality.
Lakewood Estates places you close to everything that makes St. Petersburg living so desirable - less than 10 minutes to downtown St. Pete, easy access to I-275, and a short 10 minute drive to the beaches of Tierra Verde, Pass-a-Grille, and the surrounding Gulf Coast. You can enjoy the privacy of your own tropical retreat while staying connected to restaurants, parks, beaches, downtown, and daily conveniences.
