Rafael Zenke

A modern architectural residence designed for seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining. Perfectly positioned in the coveted enclave of Snell Isle and overlooking the ninth hole of the prestigious Vinoy Golf Course, this exceptional custom residence offers a rare blend of modern architecture, enduring construction, and sweeping golf course vistas. Completed in 2018, the home features solid concrete construction and is elevated above the flood zone. Encompassing over 4,300 square feet, the residence includes 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, a private elevator, and an oversized 3-car garage, each element thoughtfully curated to deliver both sophistication and livability. Designed with entertaining in mind, the open concept layout is defined by soaring ceilings and expansive, light-filled interiors that create an immediate sense of scale and flow. Pocketing hurricane-impact glass doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, revealing uninterrupted fairway views and extending the living experience to multiple terraced gathering spaces. The kitchen and butler’s pantry are equally impressive, featuring high-end appliances including a gas range, dual refrigerators, two dishwashers, and double convection oven, complemented by sleek custom lacquer cabinetry and abundant storage. Seamlessly integrated into the main living areas, the space is ideally suited for both everyday living and elevated entertaining. The primary suite is a private sanctuary, defined by dramatic ceiling lines, panoramic golf course views, and a striking two-story custom closet. The spa-like bath offers dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and a separate soaking tub, creating a calm and restorative environment. Each guest suite is generously proportioned and appointed with its own en suite bath. A standout feature of the home is the private, casita-style main-level suite, ideally positioned poolside with its own separate entrance, perfect for hosting guests or extended stays while offering a heightened sense of privacy. Upstairs, a loft-style bonus area is artfully separated by a floating staircase, serving as a striking architectural focal point while creating a distinctly versatile space ideal for a media room, office, or lounge. Outdoor living is equally well considered. A fully equipped outdoor kitchen anchors the space, while expansive terraces, a covered lanai, and an elevated saltwater pool create a private, resort- style setting designed for both entertaining and relaxation. The oversized 3-car garage is fully finished with a polished floor and floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry, offering exceptional storage and a refined extension of the home. Ideally located just minutes from downtown St. Petersburg’s acclaimed dining, museums, and waterfront, and within convenient reach of Tampa International Airport, this residence presents a compelling opportunity to own a newer, architecturally significant home in one of the area’s most desirable neighborhoods.
