Whispering Waters is a mid-century architectural gem in St. Petersburg, Florida, blending design excellence with a prime location just 5 blocks north of the historic "Vinoy Resort & Golf Club” and “Vinoy Marina”. Designed by notable architect Lionel Mayell, this corner unit is located on the top (3rd) floor making it a higher-valued unit with a higher percentage of ownership; it is one of six units within building 8 which has 10.1ft elevation above Mean Seal Level (MSL). It features expansive spaces, abundant natural light, and three large screened-in balconies with "Ultrashield Naturale" composite deck tiles that create an indoor-outdoor living experience. The open floor plan fosters a welcoming atmosphere, complemented by picturesque views of lush tropical gardens, a pool, and a bright mural hand-painted by a Florida-inspired local artist. Recent renovations have modernized the interior of the unit without losing its historical charm, showcasing a sleek kitchen with stainless steel appliances and “Cambria” quartz countertop for maintenance-free performance and superior durability, contemporary bathroom, luxury plank flooring and crown molding throughout. Natural gas-powered heat and electric air conditioning were installed in 2024. The condo has whitewashed brick focal points, one of which is an electric heatless built in brick fireplace with several colors flame effects with the click of a remote. The community offers unique benefits such as enclosed garages with one dedicated car spot per unit, additional storage space, and free on-street parking (the garage is conveniently close to the unit). Whispering Waters is an active 55+ community that is very well-maintained with fully funded reserves. The Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) and Milestone inspection were completed in 2023. Recent completed structural upgrades include exterior painting in 2023, new roof and pool resurfacing in 2024, and new elevator in 2025 enhancing its long-term stability. Its ideal location close to downtown enriches daily life with many cultural and culinary options, while providing a serene retreat from the city hustle. A palm arboretum and the 33-acre “North Shore Park” are just across the street, including waterfront park and beach with scenic view of Tampa Bay, North Shore Pool/ Aquatic Complex, tennis courts, beach volleyball, outdoor fitness zone, bike and walking paths, playground and dog park. Walking distance to world-renowned Beach Drive, museums, galleries, shopping, fine dining restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, “St. Pete Saturday Morning Market”, the “St. Pete Pier”, and miles of waterfront parks. Supermarkets (Publix, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Fresh Market, Wild Fork, and Rollin’ Oats) are about 2.5 miles away, and Mazzaro’s Italian market is about 4 miles away. Inclusive monthly condo fees cover all utilities (Electricity, gas, water, sewer, trash, cable TV, and internet) besides common grounds and pool maintenance and repairs, escrow reserves fund, and insurance simplifying financial management for residents. Service and emotional support pets only. In essence, Whispering Waters presents an opportunity for homeowners to enjoy a lifestyle of architectural charm, modern convenience, and natural beauty—making it a standout choice in the St. Petersburg market.
