608 BLACK LION DRIVE NE ST PETERSBURG FL 33716 MLS #TB8389626 | Gary Kusher | Florida Real Estate

This townhouse is located in the highly desirable Brighton Bay neighborhood, a planned unit development and one of the newer ones in St. Pete. It was built in 2002 and then existing codes required sufficient elevated land. There was zero flood damage and I think the elevation certificate is 14’.

It sits on a preservation zone so the back view is actually very private and full of flora and fauna. There are some non native plants growing such as bamboo and various disregarded office house plants;)
The birds provide entertainment and the treeline itself provides a buffer against extreme weather. No structural damage from wind during the twin storms from 2024. 1,435 sq ft heated/HVAC plus a patio and one car garage. 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths.
Master bathroom completely remodeled with large shower, floating vanity, floating hardwood shelves, new tiles and a Toto toilet Washlet-ready (GFCI installed). Just choose the Washlet and install. ($350 at Cotsco for basic).

Floors mostly engineered hardwood by Mohawk .Also has original tiles in kitchen and entry hallway, patio, and guest bath. The two small bedrooms have original carpet and bathroom. I did not have kids and rarely went in those rooms.
