THANKS TO ALL THE NICE FOLKS who came by to marvel at our beautiful home, to give us so many wonderful complements! After several offers on the table, a lovely couple from New York City charmed us into giving them a lease with an option to purchase. They are thrilled and so are we, as our new abode is now much closer to family in a small town in Pennsylvania. But it was amazing living here. Truly one of the best kept secrets in Saint Petersburg, the fabulous neighborhood of Caya Costa! Perfectly situated with a wide view of beautiful Lake Caya Costa, this home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths with inside utility room, two car garage and plenty of space for entertaining. Once you step through the custom Art Glass front door you are wrapped in the serenity of vaulted ceilings and whispering ceiling fans. Glittering views of the lake draw you to the over-sized sliding glass doors in the living room leading to a charming screened porch, suitable for entertaining or just relaxing lakeside while watching its abundant wildlife. Take your morning coffee in the casual dining area at the end of the expansive eat-in kitchen or on the deck watching the proliferation of water birds that drop in to visit your backyard lake from time to time. Prepare meals in the chef's kitchen - a real chef actually used it!! - and serve your guests in the elegant dining room with built-in wet bar. Retire to the spacious master suite with large walk-in closet and soaking tub. A home of comfort and serenity, yet close to downtown Saint Petersburg and 20 minutes to Tampa International Airport or the beaches, this amazing property is in the perfect location to get you where you need to be when you want to be there. Life was so good to us here!
