1230 DARLINGTON OAK Circle NE, Saint Petersburg, FL 33703

Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac within the guard-gated community of Placido Bayou, this extensively renovated estate offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and modern luxury. Situated on an extraordinary .55-acre homesite measuring approximately 93' x 190', this is one of the largest residential lots in the neighborhood.

Completely updated in 2023, the residence spans 4,254 square feet and features 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths, and 1 half bath, with thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor living spaces ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Elevated at approximately 8 feet and never flooded, the home provides peace of mind along with exceptional comfort.

The resort-style backyard was transformed in 2023 with a gas-heated saltwater pool and spa, travertine pool deck, outdoor kitchen, covered entertaining areas, steam sauna, Sonos sound system, and lush professional landscaping. A detached climate-controlled gym/casita offers incredible flexibility as a fitness studio, private office, guest retreat, or creative space.

Inside, the home showcases a beautifully updated kitchen with quartz countertops, premium appliances, and seamless flow to the club room and poolside entertaining areas. Additional upgrades include hurricane-rated windows and doors, tankless water heater, EV charging capability, security system with cameras, epoxy garage flooring, and fenced green space for pets and play.

Placido Bayou is one of St. Petersburg's most sought-after gated communities, known for its mature oak-lined streets, scenic lakes and ponds, neighborhood events, and convenient access to downtown St. Petersburg, Tampa International Airport, and Clearwater Beach. Rarely does a property combine this level of privacy, lot size, elevation, and extensive recent renovation in one of Northeast St. Petersburg's premier gated neighborhoods.
