5849 44th Avenue NSt Petersburg, FL 33709Sale Price: $309,000

Welcome to the friendly neighborhood of Sun Haven homes where there is one way in and out, so not a lot of extra traffic. This 1957 home has the original terrazzo flooring and is ready for a new owner. The home is set up for family living and outdoor entertainment. There is a screened front porch and a large side screened patio. Nice-sized fenced backyard with a firepit cove and two sheds. The one car attached garage with electric opener has a door opening into the backyard screened patio which is helpful when working on projects. The garage is a great workshop space. There are over six electrical outlets, storage space in the rafters, and a pulley system. The aluminum windows are protected with drop down storm shutter awnings. The roof is concrete tile construction. Tile roofs typically last between 30 and 50 years, and the owner had a 4 Point Inspection done last year that estimated the roof has at least 10 years of life expectancy. The 4 Point Inspection is available for potential buyers to review. The air conditioner handler and condenser was replaced in June 2022, so it is less than a year old. The new Ecobee thermostat alerts when the humidity in the home is at a high level and can be monitored and operated from a phone app; this is a great feature for a Florida home. In February of 2020, all the plumbing from the street to the home was replaced. The current owner has loved this home and neighborhood for 13 years, and it was only owned by one other person prior to his ownership. The previous owner added a large family / game room to the back of the home (18' 10” x 20'). The windows in the family room are white-framed double pane, and a flat metal roof over this area. There is a convenient pass-through opening from the kitchen to the family room. The 6-year-old stove, refrigerator, microwave, washer, dryer, two couches, lawn mower, and extra ceramic floor tiles convey with the purchase. Kitchen sink is a deep dual side white porcelain. The water heater is about six years old. The bathtub was replaced at some point during this ownership. There are ceiling fans in the living room, dining room, both bedrooms, and in the screened back porch. The homeowner is currently paying $2,200 a year for homeowner and flood insurance. This is a great neighborhood for walking, sitting by the lake, and participating in the James P. Ernst park activities: exercise equipment, tennis, playground, and outdoor ping pong. The fire station and police stations are just two blocks north of the home, and there are several schools within a couple miles of the home. The grocery store, shopping center, and pizzeria are less than a mile south. This is a perfect location if you like to spend time downtown and at the beaches. Both locations are less than 10 miles away. Take a look at the virtual tour and ask your Realtor to schedule to see it in person.
