5279 ISLA KEY BLVD S #417

About this home

Offered for sale by its original owner, this unit presents a rare opportunity to own one of Isla Key’s most exceptional residences. This expansive top-level 4th floor corner penthouse is one of only four larger penthouse units in this community of 192 homes and is designed with architectural advantages that make this home incomparable to others at Isla Key. Extra-high ceilings and walls of glass create a sense of volume and light that immediately set this home apart. Positioned to capture sweeping, unobstructed views of Boca Ciega Bay, the outlook is nothing short of extraordinary. The scale of the view is matched by the number and size of the windows through which it’s enjoyed, offering a panoramic experience that is rare at any price point. Unlike typical floor plans, this residence features a true, generously sized office/den with large bay-facing windows, an inspiring space that elevates daily living and offers supreme work-from-home potential, plus an additional office space connected to the kitchen. The guest bath features a large jetted Kohler tub for ultimate relaxation. The home also includes a wood-burning, marble-clad fireplace, adding warmth and character for those precious few chilly winter evenings, when the fire is framed by the lights stretching from St. Pete Beach to downtown St. Petersburg. Completely move-in ready and offered fully-furnished and turn-key, the unit has been thoughtfully updated throughout. A brand-new kitchen showcases beautiful custom cabinetry and quartzite countertops, a material carried seamlessly into both bathrooms and even the sill of the large primary bedroom window, an attention to detail that underscores the quality of the renovation. The primary suite is further enhanced by new furniture and a custom-built closet system. This unit comes with the rare addition of a covered parking space. The community of Isla Key, which features a recently completed seawall, is coveted not only because of its incredible waterfront location and expansive views, but also because of its amenities, including an exceptionally large heated waterside pool and spa, tennis and pickleball courts, bocce ball, and its convenience to both the vibrancy of downtown St. Petersburg and the white sands of the Gulf Beaches. For buyers who recognize that not all units and not all views are created equal, this penthouse represents something truly special.
