One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Welcome to Bayou Cove, a rare opportunity to own newer construction in the heart of Pinellas County. This exclusive enclave of just 22 homes, built by Ryland Homes, is ideally located directly across from the Bayou Club, offering a more private feel while still being close to everything. This light and bright two story pool home offers 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and a 3 car garage, and is perfectly positioned next to a landscaped pond. Built more recently than most homes in the area, it combines modern design, efficiency, and functionality, featuring a nearly 20kW solar panel system that is fully paid off and designed to offset most energy usage, along with a whole house water filtration system and water softener. Inside, the open layout is filled with natural light, featuring a spacious great room and a first floor primary suite with tray ceilings. The primary bath includes dual sinks, granite countertops, a garden tub, separate shower, and a large walk in closet. The kitchen is designed for everyday living and entertaining, offering granite countertops, 42 inch wood cabinetry, a breakfast bar, closet pantry, and abundant prep space. Upstairs, a large bonus or loft area provides flexible space for a media room, office, or playroom, with additional bedrooms and a Jack and Jill bath. Step outside to your private backyard retreat featuring a saltwater pool with spa and propane heater, a fire pit, and plenty of space to relax or entertain. Additional highlights include a 2022 AC system and a spacious 3 car garage. Homes offering this combination of newer construction, energy efficiency, pool, and proximity to the Bayou Club are hard to find. Dont miss your opportunity.
