Property Description


0.21 Acres Lot
Built in 1971
For Sale - Active
1 Units

This recently completely redone and updated home in the Shore Acres neighborhood of St. Petersburg is a thoughtfully modernized single-family residence on an oversized lot! Featuring two bedrooms and two full baths across approximately 1,296 square feet, AND A PRIVATE POOL! Inside, the open floor plan with luxury vinyl plank flooring flows, brings together living, dining, and kitchen areas under abundant natural light coming in through the stunning bay window. The kitchen impresses with new cabinetry (Navy on bottom and white up top for a dramatic and clean effect!), quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, open shelving, recessed lighting, and a breakfast bar. A central sliding glass door in the dining area looks toward the covered lanai (A bonus living space!) and POOL, ensuring each of the main living spaces stays bright and visually connected to the outdoors. Down a short hallway, you’ll find a full bathroom and a generously sized secondary bedroom. Further along, the primary suite reveals a private sanctuary. This truly expansive room includes two closets, one a large walk-in, and an updated ensuite bathroom. The primary suite is complete with access to the pool deck through a sliding door. The home's standout amenity is undoubtedly the cabana-style pool deck. An in-ground, fiberglass, screened pool with a surrounding deck creates a perfect setting for Florida-style entertaining. Beyond the pool, the spacious fenced backyard with lush grass and a storage shed completes the picture of relaxed outdoor living. The oversized lot provides ample space for any backyard dream your heart desires. Everything in this home has been meticulously redone by a local GC, with no stone left unturned. The windows have been updated. No homeowners association fee applies, yet residents enjoy access to Shore Acres Recreation Center and nearby parks that offer pools, playgrounds, basketball courts, and multipurpose green spaces. Within the neighborhood, accessibility is a major draw. Downtown St. Petersburg is just minutes away, offering a dynamic mix of museums, restaurants, shopping, nightlife, and arts venues. Notable attractions include the Salvador Dalí Museum, Sunken Gardens, the St. Pete Pier, the Museum of Fine Arts, and lovely waterfront parks and murals. For outdoor enthusiasts, regional escapes like Weedon Island Preserve offer kayak trails, mangrove forests, and wildlife viewing. Also within reach are beaches and barrier islands such as Fort De Soto Park and Shell Key Preserve, perfect for beach days, shelling, or bird watching. In short, this home offers a perfect blend of modern updates, effortless indoor-outdoor living, community amenities, and proximity to everything that makes St. Petersburg a vibrant place to live.
