Under contract-accepting backup offers. This beautifully updated residence captures the essence of Florida living just minutes from downtown St. Petersburg, the Skyway Marina District, and the Gulf beaches. This 3-bed, 2-bath block home has been thoughtfully renovated with quality materials and attention to detail, offering a move-in ready retreat in one of the area’s most convenient neighborhoods. A brand-new roof was installed in June 2025, setting the stage for worry-free ownership. Inside, the home features a bright, open layout with new luxury vinyl plank flooring, updated lighting, and a warm palette throughout. The kitchen blends modern style with everyday functionality, featuring shaker cabinetry, solid surface countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Both bathrooms have been tastefully remodeled with clean finishes and timeless appeal. The home’s standout feature is its expansive, fully enclosed and covered outdoor living space—perfect for entertaining or relaxing in comfort. A built-in bar, grill area, and spa provide a true extension of the living space and invite year-round enjoyment. A detached workshop provides excellent space for storage, studio, creative projects, or additional utility. Additional features include a tankless hot water heater, upgraded attic ventilation system for improved airflow and efficiency, and a spacious backyard framed by mature landscaping. Located in non-flood zone X with no HOA, this property offers peace of mind and flexibility. Just minutes from nature preserves, boat ramps, and some of the best dining, culture, and coastline in the region, this home is a rare find—offering style, comfort, and lifestyle in equal measure.
