Move-in ready and recently updated, this solid block 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home in South St Pete sits high and dry in Flood Zone X, meaning NO flood insurance is required. Major upgrades were completed in 2022, including a new central A/C system with updated ductwork, a new electrical panel, luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, energy-efficient double-pane windows, and a fully renovated kitchen. The roof and attached carport were replaced in 2020, offering added peace of mind. The spacious fenced backyard has plenty of room for a pool and is ideal for pets, outdoor entertaining, or simply enjoying your private slice of Florida sunshine. The fence has a wide gate that is accessed from the rear alley to allow for boat trailer or RV parking. This property is perfect for investors or future homeowners alike. Centrally located with quick access to I-275, you're just minutes from vibrant downtown St. Pete, Tampa, and some of Florida’s best Gulf beaches. Don’t miss your chance to own this truly turnkey home. Schedule your private showing today!
