Enjoy effortless waterfront living in the guard-gated community of Shores of Long Bayou. This spacious 3 BR / 2 BA corner waterfront home offers over 1,450 square feet of light-filled living space and some of the most peaceful views in the community. From the moment you step inside, vaulted ceilings and a wall of sliding glass doors draw your eye straight to Snowy Egret Lake. Daily life here is immersed in nature. From your screened balcony or even from the comfort of your bedroom window, watch egrets, herons, turtles, and fish move through this protected bird sanctuary. Morning coffee comes with colorful sunrises reflecting across the water, the occasional rainbow after a passing shower, and the quiet rustle of palms instead of traffic. In the evenings, step outside for a leisurely stroll around the lake as the sun melts into glowing orange and golden hues, casting a warm shimmer across the water — a favorite ritual for residents who treasure the calm, coastal pace of life. The open-concept layout makes everyday living easy, with a generous kitchen featuring a breakfast bar, ample cabinet space, and water views from nearly every angle. The primary suite opens directly to the screened balcony and includes a walk-in closet with built-ins and a spacious en-suite bath with dual sinks, a walk-in shower, and a private water closet. Two guest bedrooms are thoughtfully tucked away for added privacy. Additional highlights include indoor laundry with a full-size washer and dryer, high ceilings, ceramic tile floors, a driveway, and a one-car garage with attic storage. Fresh interior paint and solid block construction add comfort and peace of mind. Life at Shores of Long Bayou feels like a nature retreat within the city. The community spans 77 acres of preserved waterfront with nearly two miles of scenic walking trails and 25 acres of lakes and ponds surrounded by lush tropical landscaping. Residents enjoy two swimming pools — one just steps from this unit — plus a heated pool and spa at the clubhouse, fitness center, library, and hot tub. The monthly fee covers cable, internet, water, trash, exterior maintenance, reserves, and 24/7 manned gate access. Perfectly located just minutes from Madeira Beach, Seminole City Center, and the Pinellas Trail, and a short drive to downtown St. Pete’s vibrant dining and nightlife, Shores of Long Bayou offers a rare blend of serenity and convenience. The community is pet-friendly, non-age-restricted, and one of St. Petersburg’s best-kept secrets. Bonus for buyers: this two-story building is exempt from new SIRS reserve requirements — helping you avoid costly special assessments while staying high and dry.
