This Spacious home features an open floor plan with beautifully preserved original mid-century bathrooms that add character and timeless appeal. The updated kitchen offers brand new solid wood cabinetry, quartz countertops and 2 tall pantry cabinets providing exceptional storage. The Family room features an Electric fireplace creating a warm and inviting space to relax. Durable terrazzo and tile floors throughout make the home both pet- and family- friendly. Designed for entertaining, the home includes an oversized living room, large family room and a convenient three- seat breakfast bar adjacent to the kitchen. Step outside to the impressive 40' x 13' screened lanai with a jetted spa-the perfect place to entertain guests or unwind after a long day. Boaters will appreciate the 16- foot wide dock with davits, capable of accommodating a substantial vessel, along with a convenient step down boarding area for easy access. Storage abounds with two hallway closets, dual closets in the primary bedroom, and a spacious two- car garage featuring dedicated workshop and laundry areas. Major updates include a new roof (2022), HVAC system (2019), dock (2018), newer water heater, and double pane insulated windows. Located in a friendly community- oriented neighborhood where neighbors enjoy walking their dogs, social gatherings, and strong sense of connection, this home offers an ideal central location. Enjoy quick access to Gulf beaches, vibrant downtown St Petersburg, Tampa and St. Pete- Clearwater International Airport. Shopping, parks, and everyday conveniences are just a short walk away. The home experienced minor water intrusion during Hurricane Helene in 2024. Damage was promptly mitigated, and repairs were completed under permit in accordance with Pinellas County requirements by licensed contractors. Notably, this property sits at one of the highest elevations in the neighborhood and this unprecedented storm was the only event to cause water intrusion that the owner is aware of. Disclaimer: The listing agent has an ownership interest in the Land Trust No. 1258.
