Welcome to 1227 Darlington Oak Circle NE, a sprawling single-level executive residence nestled in the guard-gated community of Placido Bayou. This one-level floorplan rarely becomes available at this spacious square footage. No damage or flooding occurred from hurricanes Helene and Milton. As you wind through the natural Florida entrance of Placido Bayou, you will find this residence within the Estates development. As you approach the property, the grand circular driveway with a side-approach 3-car garage welcomes you. Step inside to see exquisite details including White Oak hardwood floors, floor-to-ceiling bay windows, soaring ceilings and multiple rooms for premium entertainment. The smart split floorplan provides private areas for family members and guests alike. The west side of the home is devoted to a vast primary suite which includes an independent office and a private den off the bedroom perfect for an exercise room, nursery, studio or extra TV space. The large bathroom has amazing walk-in closets, separate shower and soaking tub. On the opposite side of the home are three additional bedrooms, each with their own dedicated bathroom. Two of the additional bedrooms have their own en-suite bathrooms while the fourth bedroom could be ideal mother-in-law quarters. The open-concept kitchen flows to the family room with beautiful cabinetry, granite countertops, custom built-ins and superior quality appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator and Wolf appliances. The living room features a gas fireplace and French doors that lead to the brick-paved outdoor space. Beyond the living room is a personal soundproof theater room inclusive of a 4K projector and surround-sound audio, perfect for gaming or family movie nights. An adjacent bar, sink and Sub-Zero beverage refrigerator provides icing on the cake for all your entertainment needs. Easily accessed from all rooms within the home, travel outside to the ultimate pool and spa retreat featuring an outdoor kitchen. Plenty of lawn space, and a basketball pad is beyond the screened lanai which overlooks mangroves to accentuate the privacy of no backyard neighbors. The calculated renovations and fundamental updates include a brand-new tile roof (2024) and two new AC systems (2021), providing easy living for the next fortunate owner. This stunning home is located within minutes from downtown St. Pete for exceptional dining and shopping, Vinoy golf course, tennis and pickleball at the Racquet Club of St. Petersburg, and a quick commute to Tampa, beaches and two international airports.
