If you were to make a list to define the Best of Florida Living, this property would tick box after box! Is it walking distance to the beach, restaurants & shops? CHECK! You will encounter this charming home only 5 blocks/.6 miles from the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the pristine white sand of #1-rated St. Pete Beach! It is just as close to the multitude of shops on Historic Corey Ave and the host of surrounding restaurants and bars! And when you are done enjoying the beach life, come home to relax poolside in an ultra-private, idyllic setting with carefully curated tropical landscaping surrounding the sparkling water of a newly refinished pool! It isn’t only the outside that WOWS! The same great thought that transformed this corner lot into a tropical oasis, was also given to improving the form and function of the house itself! This quintessential Florida, ranch-style house has updates galore, while also paying homage to original features, such as the mirror-like finish of the polished terrazzo floor and the classic retro bathroom tile, that are in cherry condition. Here are just A FEW of the MANY updates: New primary roof w/hurricane ties and rubberized substrate covering, solar attic fan + R30 insulation & New sunroom roof (2019); Vinyl, Thermal & Energy-efficient, windows (2022); New 200-amp electrical panel, EV charging station and tankless water heater (2021); New HVAC for whole-house, including new insulated ducting and purifying light + a new mini-split for the sunroom (2020/2021); Hardie Board siding to lower wall of carport & front porch (2021); New S/S appliances, including w/d (2019); Irrigation system with reclaimed water (2021)… The list truly does go on and on! As the saying goes, this home is ”Buttoned Up!” Another HUGE bonus is that while parking is typically limited for beach homes, this one has loads! There is parking for 8-9 cars via a circular drive and a 2-car parking pad that leads to both a 1-car garage and a carport! FYI: Need a third bedroom? The garage can easily be enclosed to create a spacious new primary ensuite bedroom! Ohhhh... And the flood policy is assumable at $3374/yr! At this price point, you will be hard-pressed to find something comparable! Life is Short! Live Your Dream! Buy the Beach House!
