For Sale - Active

Welcome to this stunningly remodeled 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home nestled in the heart of St. Petersburg. Originally built in the 1950s, this home has been thoughtfully transformed from top to bottom—preserving its charming character while delivering every modern convenience. This isn’t a quick flip. It’s a meticulous renovation designed for long-term enjoyment and effortless living. Step inside to discover a warm and inviting entryway leading to a spacious living room, where the original cove ceiling is beautifully highlighted with crisp, modern paint, new recessed LED lighting and a stylish ceiling fan. The floor plan has been reimagined for today’s lifestyle, featuring a luxurious owner’s suite with a large walk-in closet, private laundry closet, and a spa-inspired ensuite bathroom. The primary bath boasts a walk-in porcelain-tiled shower, soft-close vanity with quartz countertops, shiplap accent wall, linen storage, and custom built-in shelving. Every inch of this home has been enhanced with high-end finishes including luxury waterproof vinyl plank flooring, Craftsman-style trim and cased openings, and 6-inch baseboards. The kitchen features real wood Shaker-style cabinetry with 42-inch uppers, crown molding, dovetail drawers, and soft-close hardware, all complemented by quartz countertops and a premium LG stainless steel appliance suite. A built-in pantry with pull-out shelving and a board-and-batten accent wall in the dining area elevate both form and function. Even the hallway to the secondary bedroom was designed with care, featuring shiplap accents and louvered closet doors. The guest bathroom mirrors the quality of the primary suite with floor-to-ceiling porcelain tile in the shower/tub combo and honeycomb tile floors. Step outside to your private, fully fenced backyard oasis. The beautifully landscaped yard includes a covered pergola over a spacious patio, a grilling deck, and a new 10x10x8 storage shed. Enjoy ample parking with a generous driveway that accommodates five or more vehicles, including a sun-shaded space perfect for protecting your car from the Florida sun. Remodeled in 2022, this home offers peace of mind with all major systems upgraded: impact windows, roof, HVAC and ductwork, new plumbing all the way to the supply line and all new electrical from the breakers and wiring in the panel to the plugs, switches and outlets in the wall. No flood insurance required – high and dry lot with no hurricane damage (Helene & Milton). Conveniently located just minutes from Publix, Aldi, Winn-Dixie, and under 20 minutes to the beach and vibrant downtown St. Petersburg.
