Rare opportunity to own a stunning 1950's coastal home located in the desirable Old SE neighborhood only one block from inviting sunrises over Tampa Bay from Lassing Park. A pathway of tasteful sand-colored pavers leads up to the spacious screened front porch, ideal for savoring morning coffee or losing oneself in a good book. Stepping through the front door reveals a freshly painted, light-filled living room, setting the tone for the home's inviting atmosphere. To the right, a hallway leads to bathrooms, laundry, and three oversized bedrooms, with each bedroom offering versatile spaces perfect for quiet retreats or functional areas like offices or workout spaces. The updated kitchen beckons with its stainless steel appliances, custom shaker cabinets, and elegant granite counters centered around a breakfast bar/island, ensuring both practicality and charm. Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen is a bright dining area with vaulted ceilings, framed by double pane sliding glass doors that offer captivating views of the pool and heated spa. The outdoor space is an oasis designed for entertainment and relaxation, perfect for year-round enjoyment. A sparkling pool and heated spa invite refreshing dips, while a covered pergola with ample seating promises delightful gatherings. Adjacent to the main house, a finished garage offers versatile space for guests or a private studio, complemented by a detached utility area ideal for a workshop or additional storage. The main house and finished garage collectively feature two kitchens (each with a refrigerator, range, and microwave), two and half bathrooms, and four bedrooms, with the possibility to convert the oversized primary in the main house into an additional bedroom. The property's location is a standout feature, less than two miles from vibrant downtown St. Petersburg and mere steps from waterfront access for kayaking, paddleboarding, kiteboarding, and beachside strolls. With the added benefit of no required flood insurance, this home represents a blend of coastal charm, modern convenience, and coveted location-an unparalleled opportunity in a thriving community.
