Virtually Staged. You may think you know St. Petersburg, but you've never seen her like this. You will feel like the king or queen of the city as you survey your domain from this 31st-floor residence in St. Petersburg's newest building. The views are nearly impossible to describe — they simply have to be experienced. As you walk in the front door, a spacious gallery opens up to the expansive main living area that looks out over the city towards Tampa Bay, with the city of Tampa in the distance. Step through the glass doors onto the wraparound terrace and the full picture comes into focus. Nearly 270 degrees of exposure puts Tampa Bay straight ahead, with Tampa's skyline rising across the water in the distance. Below you, the entire city reveals itself: Bayboro Harbor, Albert Whitted Airport, the St. Pete Municipal Marina, the base of the Pier, the Vinoy, Mirror Lake, and all the way around to the Gulf — from two different vantages at each end. Every bedroom shares a part of these views, and every bedroom opens onto this same magnificent balcony that stretches around the scope of the entire unit. There's really nothing else like it. Designed by award-winning Arquitectonica with interiors by New York's Celano Design Studio, the residence delivers on every expectation those views create. Ten-foot ceilings and walls of floor-to-ceiling glass carry the outdoors inside. The open great room flows into the kitchen and dining area, where European cabinetry with undercabinet lighting, quartz countertops, a six-burner gas cooktop, wine cooler, and a full JennAir appliance package meet the standard set by this price point. Grohe fixtures, a freestanding soaking tub, frameless glass shower with rain and handheld heads, and a dual-sink quartz vanity define the primary bath. Porcelain tile runs through the main living areas, each bedroom has its own en suite bath, and a powder room for guests with a spacious laundry room round out your day-to-day living. The building's amenities are equally serious: A 36,000-square-foot amenity deck on the seventh floor includes a resort-style heated pool, yoga lawn, state-of-the-art fitness center, Zen garden, poolside cabanas, theater lounge, private dining room, and a dedicated dog run. The Sky Lounge and Observatory on the 45th floor offer 360-degree views of Tampa Bay, the Gulf, and the city below. The address itself is an amenity. Central Avenue is St. Petersburg's creative spine, and 400 Central sits at the heart of it, in a block that is quickly becoming one of the city's most vibrant. Il Ritorno, one of four area restaurants to earn a Michelin Guide recommendation, is as close as across the street. The Dalí Museum, the Chihuly Collection, the Museum of Fine Arts, and the St. Pete Pier are all minutes away. From your unit high above, you'll witness the city, but walk out the front door, and you're living it.
