Set on a 102×150 waterfront lot with pond views and no rear neighbors, this single-story Arthur Rutenberg home in Bayou Club Estates offers nearly 3,800 square feet with 4 bedrooms, a private office, 3.5 baths, and a 3-car garage. The layout is a split-bedroom floor plan designed for both privacy and everyday livability, with high ceilings and main living areas oriented toward the screened lanai, pool, and water views. Formal living and dining rooms overlook the outdoor space, while the family room features a gas fireplace and sliding glass doors that open to the lanai. At the center of the home, the kitchen includes a large island, breakfast bar, Corian countertops, cooktop, and extensive cabinet space, along with a breakfast area overlooking the pool. A butler’s pantry with a secondary refrigerator and an adjacent dry bar provide additional storage and functionality for entertaining. The primary suite enjoys its own wing of the home and offers direct access to the lanai, a large walk-in closet plus additional storage, and an en suite bath with dual vanities, a jetted tub, and separate shower. Bedrooms 2 and 3 share a hall bath, while bedroom 4 is located adjacent to the pool bath—ideal for guests or multi-generational living. The private office, set behind double doors, includes a wet bar with mini-fridge. Outdoor living is centered around a screened lanai with a heated pool and spa, paver decking, and a private pond view with no rear neighbors—creating a quiet, natural setting that’s increasingly difficult to find. Additional features include engineered hardwood flooring throughout, an oversized 3-car garage with a climate-controlled workspace, indoor laundry with utility sink, and irrigation on well water. Recent updates include dual-zone HVAC systems (2025) and a propane-fueled generator (2025) providing partial home backup. The property is located in a non-flood zone (X). Bayou Club Estates is a 24-hour guard-gated community known for its oak-lined streets, private roads, and preserved natural surroundings, with approximately 400 homes across more than 400 acres. The location offers convenient access to downtown St. Petersburg (approximately 20 minutes), Gulf beaches (15 minutes), and Tampa International Airport (30 minutes). Optional membership is available at the adjacent Bayou Club, featuring a Tom Fazio-designed golf course, tennis, pickleball, fitness center, clubhouse, and social amenities. This is a classic Rutenberg design with a strong floor plan, expansive indoor-outdoor living, and a private waterfront setting—well suited for buyers seeking space, flexibility, and long-term potential within a gated St. Petersburg area community.
