About 288 Beach Drive Ne Ph-2a
A rare opportunity to own a Mediterranean-inspired penthouse sanctuary, perched at the very top of The Cloisters and located directly on Beach Drive. This distinctive 14-story, 32-unit boutique condominium community was designed by renowned architect Randy Wedding (notably of the Vinoy restoration). With its private elevator foyer, this exclusive full-floor penthouse spans an impressive 5,100 square feet, offering sweeping 360° waterfront and downtown city views of Tampa Bay, The Vinoy Club & Yacht Basin, St. Pete Pier, Albert Whitted Airport, Sunshine Skyway and Tropicana Field. This residence is an art collector’s dream — creating the perfect backdrop with expansive wall space, abundant windows, 10-foot ceilings, and French doors throughout. Relax in the generous primary suite with its spa bath and walk-in closet, two guest bedrooms, and a dedicated executive office. Entertaining is effortless thanks to a formal dining room, an informal game room with wet bar, and two additional dining areas — plus bar seating. The gourmet kitchen features custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops, dual sinks, stainless appliances, and a large walk-in pantry. Convenience meets security within the gated ground-floor garage, offering four assigned parking spaces and two private storage units. Amenities include a pool, club room, fitness center, guest suite, and a community concierge — just steps from Beach Drive’s world-class museums, boutiques, dining, and waterfront parks. Combining architectural significance with a coveted neighborhood setting, The Cloisters delivers an intimate, owner-focused experience while celebrating life in the heart of downtown St. Petersburg and minutes to St. Pete’s best museums: Salvador Dalí Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts and the immersive Museum of the American Arts & Crafts Movement. Schedule your private showing today and experience luxury living in the sky!
