ONE-OF-A-KIND opportunity to lease a solidly built Rutenberg home with distinctive mid-century modern appeal, situated directly on the St. Petersburg Country Club golf course in Lakewood Estates! Set back from the road on an expansive half-acre lot, this property offers exceptional privacy, abundant parking and plenty of room to spread out. This spacious concrete-block home features three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, an oversized two-car garage, brand-new tile flooring and fresh interior paint throughout. Beyond the formal entry is an impressive living room with a decorative fireplace and a wall of sliding glass doors framing views of the screened pool and the 16th green of the golf course. The open kitchen provides generous counter and cabinet space, stainless-steel appliances and convenient pass-through windows to bar-top seating in the pool area. A second comfortable living space just off the kitchen is ideal for a family room or den and leads to an oversized indoor laundry room with excellent storage. The thoughtfully designed split-bedroom floor plan includes an expansive primary suite with a walk-in closet, soaking tub, separate shower and a unique wraparound screened porch that creates a secluded patio retreat while connecting directly to the pool area. On the opposite side of the home are two generously sized guest bedrooms with large closets. Every bedroom offers sliding-door access to its own private, covered and screened patio area, all connecting to the main pool area, creating an exceptional layout for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. The enormous screened pool deck provides an impressive combination of covered and open entertaining space, along with a convenient outdoor shower. With a private pool, sweeping golf-course views and more than half an acre of space, this is a rental opportunity unlike anything else in the area. The location is every bit as impressive as the home itself. The property is situated directly along the historic St. Petersburg Country Club golf course, with the clubhouse just a short drive away. This private, member-owned club features an 18-hole championship golf course, tennis and pickleball courts, swimming, fitness, dining and social activities. (Club membership is separate and is not included with the rental.) Another exceptional nearby amenity is Boyd Hill Nature Preserve, with its entrance less than a mile away. The approximately 400-acre preserve stretches along Lake Maggiore and offers nature trails, diverse native habitats, wildlife viewing and environmental programs. The home also provides convenient access to I-275, downtown St. Petersburg, Gulfport, the Skyway Marina District and the area’s beautiful Gulf beaches, all while offering the privacy and peaceful atmosphere of an established golf-course neighborhood.
