Mariners Pass is one of St. Petersburg’s most coveted places to call home, and one of only a few townhome communities offering deeded boat slips. This unit is one of only 20 in Mariners Pass that includes a boat slip. The wide, deep water canal behind your new townhome leads to Bayou Grande and Weedon Island Preserve, with no bridges. It is an easy paddle, or hop your boat or jet ski.Your experience begins when you enter the private, cozy, reimagined (2022) courtyard, perfect for enjoying the sunset-lit sky. Continuing through the leaded glass front door, you are treated to the stunning tree-shaded water view. The first floor features the bright and airy living room, half-bath, dining room, and kitchen. The kitchen features a custom countertop with a coastal flair, accenting glass backsplash, breakfast bar, and stainless steel appliances (2016). And, there is plenty of room for a large dining room set. The bedrooms are upstairs. The current owners combined the two secondary bedrooms into a large primary suite/office, which can easily be converted back to a second and third bedroom.The spacious lanai, remodeled in 2019, may well be where you spend the most time, enjoying the serenity of the water with all of its fascinating wildlife. On any given evening, you may see manatee, dolphin, otter, tarpon, ducks, great blue heron, ibis, and more. Your boat is steps away, directly behind the lanai. The A/C was replaced in 2022, Miami/Dade Impact-Rated windows and sliders were installed in 2016. There are two community pools, one of them heated, with bathrooms and showers and a pavilion that can be used as additional entertaining space. Docks along waterfront offer additional opportunities for enjoying nature, or doing a little fishing. The St. Pete City Trail is close by, as is the Mangrove Bay Golf Course, and the new combined YMCA/Middle School. Vibrant Downtown St. Pete is just a bike ride away.
