One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. The entire 14th floor Penthouse of The Cloisters of Beach Drive. One residence. 5,100 SF of sunrise-to-sunset views — Tampa Bay, the Vinoy Club & Yacht Basin, the St. Pete Pier, and the downtown skyline on every side. Pull off Beach Drive, through the gate, parked in seconds — four assigned covered ground-level spaces, all yours. In downtown St. Petersburg, that alone is worth remarking on. Your private elevator opens directly into your foyer — your floor, accessible only by key fob, to no one but you. Wake up to Tampa Bay and morning light through surrounding windows — the soaking tub looks out at open water, nothing between you and the horizon. Seven private balconies: front and left face open water and the marina; rear balconies face the city skyline and the sunset. Primary suite includes a floor-to-ceiling custom cherry wood closet. 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths. Solid walnut hardwood floors throughout. Ten-foot ceilings and crown molding. Skylights in the living space. U-shaped gourmet kitchen with gas range, walk-in pantry, and bar seating. Formal dining room with gold chandelier and city views. Executive home office with custom built-ins. Large laundry room. Motorized shades, surround sound, HVAC 2023/2024. Two storage cages. The Cloisters was designed by architect Randy Wedding — former Mayor of St. Petersburg and the architect behind the restoration of the Vinoy Renaissance Hotel. It is the first luxury residential building on Beach Drive, and the one that set the tone for everything that followed on the waterfront. Boutique 32-unit building. Concierge on-site Monday through Friday — staff knows owners by name. Dedicated backup generator keeps the elevator running and refrigerators powered during outages; most new luxury towers in St. Pete do not have this. Lap pool, club room. Tower roof replaced 2024. HOA includes water, sewer, natural gas, trash, cable, and 100 Mbps internet, plus building master insurance and exterior maintenance. $823,420 in reserves as of April 2026. 2024 audit accepted with no qualifications. Flood Zone X — no lender-required flood insurance. $30.77M insured property value, $15M umbrella, zero prior NFIP flood claims.
