Property Description

Welcome to 2001 Illinois Ave NE, where elevated waterfront living meets the timeless appeal of Venetian Isles. Ideally positioned in one of St. Petersburg's premier boating communities, this 5-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom, 3,405-square-foot residence offers a rare combination of space, privacy, water views, a private pool, dock, and peace of mind — with an elevated ground-level design that has never flooded, including during Hurricane Helene.

From the moment you arrive, the circular paver driveway, welcoming front porch, and hurricane-rated windows and sliding doors set the tone for a home built for both comfort and confidence. Inside, the layout unfolds beautifully with two expansive living areas designed for gathering, entertaining, and everyday luxury. The front of the home features a gracious foyer with raised ceilings, formal living room, and dining room, while the rear of the home opens into the heart of the property — a spacious kitchen and family room with vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and views that draw you toward the canal and beyond.

The kitchen is designed to be both functional and inviting, offering granite countertops, a large island with sink, cabinet storage, seating for four, stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop with range hood, convection microwave and oven, Bosch dishwasher, trash compactor, refrigerator, and a wet bar with bar fridge. Wood cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, glass-front display cabinets with interior lighting, a swing-out pantry organizer, spice rack, and built-in desk add thoughtful details throughout.

The bedroom layout offers exceptional flexibility, with three bedrooms featuring en-suite bathrooms — a rare find in a home of this size and setting. The owner's suite provides a private retreat with an en-suite bath and sliding glass door access to the patio and pool. Two junior suites each include their own en-suite bathrooms, creating ideal accommodations for family, guests, or multigenerational living. Two additional bedrooms, including one with a built-in desk perfect for a home office or flex space, share the hall bathroom. The remodeled 2025 interior laundry room features new upper cabinets, a utility sink cabinet, Smart 2025 washer and dryer, and a countertop for additional storage.

Out back, the home truly comes to life. Mature landscaping creates a sense of privacy around the pool, while the covered back and side patios invite you to relax, dine, and entertain with peaceful canal views. The pool area and patio were remodeled in 2022 and feature travertine pavers, new pool tile and coping, marcite finish, swim benches, and a paver walkway to match the driveway. The composite dock, completed in 2023, features a 12x18 upper deck and 3x18 lower landing, paired with 96 feet of seawall and direct access to the waterways leading toward Tampa Bay and Weedon Island.

Additional features include upgrades designed to provide peace of mind from storms and flood waters, including a raised foundation encompassing the living area, garage, pool, and patio. Impact windows and doors, a front door hurricane curtain, and a secondary electric panel powered by a portable generator further enhance the home's comfort and security. Other recent updates include two zoned A/C systems, replaced in 2023 and 2024, and fresh exterior paint completed in 2025.
