About this home
CHARMING COTTAGE IN BEAUTIFUL CRESENT LAKE NEIGHBORHOOD | SELLER FINANCING CONSIDERED W/ MIN DOWN PMT OF $70K — With acceptable contract executed prior to 7-30-2026, seller to provide a 12,000 BTU mini - split for the sunroom area (in the box and ready for you to install) so get over to this gem nestled in the heart of St. Petersburg's most coveted walkable neighborhood, Crescent Lake, just 11 blocks from the heart of downtown St. Pete. Homes like this don't come along often, and when they do, they don't last. This beautifully maintained 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage sits on a quaint, private street that feels worlds away from the bustle of everyday life, yet puts you steps from everything that makes Crescent Lake one of the most desirable zip codes in all of Tampa Bay. From the moment you arrive, the fresh exterior paint, lush new landscaping, and fully fenced yard set the tone — this home has been loved and it shows. Step inside and be greeted by the warmth of original hardwood floors that carry decades of character beneath your feet, perfectly complemented by a freshly painted interior that feels bright, clean, and move-in ready. The updated kitchen features gleaming stainless steel appliances, making it as functional as it is stylish. But the real showstopper? A stunning glass-enclosed Florida room that floods the home with natural light — the perfect spot for your morning coffee, afternoon reading, or entertaining friends on a breezy St. Pete evening. And that's not all. Out back, you'll find not one but two bonus structures: a handy storage shed AND a climate-controlled she-shed that's just waiting to become your home office, creative studio, or ultimate retreat. Practical details seal the deal: a private driveway accommodating two cars, a fully fenced yard for peace of mind, and a price that is frankly hard to believe for this neighborhood. There's also genuine opportunity here — the layout lends itself beautifully to adding a second bathroom, and renovation loan options make it easier than ever to customize and build equity from day one. Whether you're planting roots for the first time or looking for the perfect Florida retreat, this Crescent Lake stunner checks every box.
