2567 MADRID WAY S SAINT PETERSBURG FL 33712 MLS #T3537338 | Gary Kusher | Florida Real Estate

Golf course frontage on a quiet street in Lakewood Estates. No neighbors directly across from you, instead you have majestic pines & the 6th fairway of the St. Petersburg Country Club. This 2-story traditional gem was designed and built by Charles Kehm in 1966, one of the area’s more renowned homebuilders of the time, known for creating spacious, comfortable, custom homes. The front yard is a beautifully designed xeriscape with a variety of trees, ground cover, plants and flowers selected to attract pollinators and birds. Highlights include the Hong Kong Orchid Tree that puts on an annual show of long-blooming, deep pink orchid-shaped flowers. With no lawn to mow, fertilize or irrigate, you can enjoy living in symbiosis with the natural environment that includes nearby Boyd Hill Nature Preserve & Lake Maggiore. Inside the front door you are greeted by a wrought iron spiral staircase leading to 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms upstairs. Downstairs has multiple living spaces – open concept kitchen/dining/living room, a huge family/TV room with French barn doors, and a bonus Florida room that leads outside to a private tropical oasis of lush palms, birds of paradise, bougainvillea and more. Music lovers will appreciate the quality of the outdoor sound system that sets the atmosphere to enjoy your patio, saltwater pool, cabana and outdoor shower! Whole house solar power installed (owned) with new roof in 2020. Lakewood Estates is conveniently located with easy access to the gulf beaches, vibrant downtown St. Petersburg, the Skyway Marina District & Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital.
