UPDATED URBAN RETREAT! Over the past few years, this expansive 4 bed, 2.5 bath POOL home has undergone an amazing transformation, creating the perfect family home filled with countless upgrades that make for care-free and easy living. Freshly painted and tastefully landscaped, the eye-catching curb appeal will welcome you in upon your approach. The unique layout of this home offers a split floor plan with the entire master suite on one side, creating a private owner's retreat separate from the rest of the living areas and bedrooms. The super spacious master suite is highlighted by sliding glass doors that lead onto the relaxing pool patio, a walk-in closet and an original and unique sunken shower in the bathroom. At the other end of the house, the additional bedrooms feature new carpeting with an ensuite half bath in one of the other bedrooms. A savvy garage conversion that has a separate zoned AC makes for a perfect 5th bedroom that includes an ensuite half bath, a man-cave or in-law suite and provides wheelchair accessibility. It also features a large storage closet and French door leading to the fenced inside yard, and inside laundry with ample storage. Tons of closet space can be found throughout the house. The conveniently designed kitchen underwent a full remodel in 2014 and is sure to be the chef of the house's favorite feature. Granite countertops, custom tile backsplash, fashionable cabinetry and hardware and a bird's eye view of your picturesque backyard from the kitchen window are only a few of the amazing kitchen highlights. This home is filled with natural light that shines through all the windows and the sliding glass doors that lead out to your fenced in backyard oasis. Enjoy any one of the 361 days of sunshine we get to experience here in St. Petersburg while relaxing on your freshly painted pool deck, and catching a tan in the sun, cooling off in the shade under your covered sitting area, or taking a dip in your newly resurfaced inground pool with an optimum performance pool pump that was replaced in 2018. Other notable upgrades for making future upkeep easy include a new roof as of 2016, complete re-piping of the plumbing system in 2017, new water heater in 2016, new ground bar to main electrical panel in 2019, complete brand-new electrical panel for bonus room in 2019, HVAC is new as of 2014, new insulation over main house in 2015 and then over the garage conversion in 2019, and a completely remodeled and repaired gorgeous stone fireplace with chimney as of October 2021. All the home's duct work was inspected and repaired for maximum energy efficiency by Duke Energy's rebate program in April of 2021, resulting in maximum savings on your electric bill. Located in Stephen's Manor, a quiet and family friendly neighborhood in Greater Pinellas Point, this ideal residence is conveniently located only 8 minutes from our award-winning beaches in one direction, 8 minutes to St. Pete's vibrant downtown waterfront in the other and is only a quick 3-minute drive to hop on the interstate making further travel in any direction a piece of cake.
