About This Property

FRONT-ROW SEATS TO NATURE — EVERY SINGLE DAY. Where else can you enjoy panoramic waterfront views, watch egrets, herons, turtles, and fish from your own screened balcony, and still be just minutes from Madeira Beach and downtown St. Petersburg? Welcome to Shores of Long Bayou, one of Pinellas County's hidden gems. Located within a 24-hour guard-gated community surrounded by 77 acres of protected waterfront preserve, this spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath corner residence offers more than 1,450 square feet of bright, open living space with breathtaking views of Snowy Egret Lake and its thriving bird sanctuary. From the moment you enter, soaring vaulted ceilings and a wall of sliding glass doors showcase the water beyond. The ever-changing views become part of daily life—sunrises reflecting across the lake, rainbows after summer showers, and native wildlife gathering just outside your window. The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers comfortable everyday living and plenty of room for guests. The spacious kitchen features abundant cabinetry, a breakfast bar, and water views that make even meal prep enjoyable. The primary suite is a peaceful retreat with private balcony access, a large walk-in closet with built-ins, dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and a private water closet. Two additional bedrooms are tucked away for privacy and offer generous closet space. Additional highlights include indoor laundry with full-size washer and dryer, multiple walk-in closets, ceramic tile flooring, fresh interior paint, vaulted ceilings, a private driveway, one-car garage, and attic storage. Life at Shores of Long Bayou feels more like a nature preserve than a condominium community. Residents enjoy nearly two miles of walking trails winding through lush tropical landscaping, 25 acres of lakes and ponds, two swimming pools (including one just steps away), a heated pool and spa, fitness center, clubhouse, library, and hot tub. The monthly fee provides exceptional value and includes cable, internet, water, sewer, trash, exterior maintenance, reserves, and 24-hour manned gate security. Ideally located near Madeira Beach, Seminole City Center, the Pinellas Trail, shopping, dining, golf, and medical facilities, this pet-friendly, non-age-restricted community offers the perfect blend of tranquility and convenience. Bonus: This two-story building is exempt from Florida's new SIRS reserve requirements, helping owners avoid many of the costly reserve obligations and special assessment concerns affecting older high-rise condominiums. If you've been searching for waterfront living where nature is your neighbor and every day feels like a retreat, this is an opportunity you won't want to miss.
