Extraordinary is a subjective term. Rare is more specific. When both apply, an extraordinarily rare opportunity beckons. This is that moment. With only 6 units, each of which span the entire floor from east to west, The Dunes on St Pete Beach is like no other. Owned by the Developer, this exquisite condominium home has never been offered for purchase… until now. Due to its location on the sugary, white sand of St. Pete Beach, the oft-voted #1 beach in the USA and top 5 in the world, the vistas from the 486sf+ western-facing balcony are simply stunning. From this enviable vantage point, the setting sun is a highlight of every day. And yet, as if in competition, incredible sunrises grace the eastern balcony, which boasts another formidable 265sf of covered space with sweeping and vast views across the boulevard and over the water and beyond to the iconic skyline of Downtown St. Petersburg and the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. Indoors the expanse between the balconies is 4,245 acsf of exceptional living space: 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 1 half bath, a formal dining room, office, gym area, and media room. The centerpiece is an enormous room that would not be adequately described with the more common term of ‘great room’ - Spectacular Room is more fitting. There you will find a well-appointed open-floor plan, including the kitchen, large pantry, dining area, expansive living room and, of course, a stunning Gulf view which spans almost its full width of 23'. A true “Chef’s kitchen”, this area was painstakingly designed for form and function and features all-wood cabinetry, granite countertops, Sub-Zero and Wolfe appliances, dual sinks providing both a prep area and a cleanse and clear area and more, much more. The primary bedroom encompasses a suite of rooms, including a large bedroom area that also enjoys fabulous views of the Gulf, two walk-in closets with California Closet style built-ins and an enormous primary bath suite that is unique to this building. It has two separate water closets, a massive shower enjoying natural light, dual sinks and an abundance of cabinetry and granite countertop space. There are two guest bedrooms, both en suite. The larger is at the eastern boundary of the condo, as is an office and work-out area. Unit 400, which is located on the fifth floor, has a single under-building parking space . It’s the best one there is! Remember this was the Developer's home! ;0) There is also a 1-car garage. This is your rare and extraordinary opportunity to realize your dream of The Beach Life at its finest. Please note that no units at The Dunes experienced any storm damage. And, with a whole-house generator that services all six units, you do not have to worry about not having electricity! Built in 2008, all living areas are above base flood and all homes here were high & dry. There was some damage to the pool and surrounding area; and, of course, the elevator pits had water in them. Landscaping was lost. Happily, replanting will start shortly. This will include an update to the landscape lighting. The gate, electronics and camera system were also impacted and soon to be renewed. FYI: this particular condo just had new impact sliders installed beachside in the summer of 2024 at a cost just south of $36K. (They are not featured in the photos here.)
