Walk out your backyard and hop on the St Pete Bike Path or just enjoy your backyard partial water views of the nature preserve, protecting your investment by ensuring no future developments behind you. The #1 beach in the U.S., St Pete Beach, is just a quick drive away or you can be in downtown St Pete within minutes. Pull up to this home and admire the character and whimsy that creates warm curb appeal. Fresh exterior paint (2022) with a brand new sunny yellow front door and adorable front stoop welcome you. Step inside and immediately enjoy wide open views to your backyard and Clam Bayou through a large picture window over your kitchen sink. An open concept offers a great room maximizing your living, dining and kitchen space. New hardwood bamboo floors run through your living and dining space accented with gorgeous crown molding, trim work and hand-crafted wood pillars. Your kitchen offers backyard access and features marble flooring and counters as well as a breakfast bar. The guest bedroom is large enough to accommodate a king-sized bed and is found in the front of the home. It is light and bright with a stunning private bath, allowing it to serve as another suite. Aptly named "the library," this bathroom features custom built-in shelving, wainscoting, and a brand new clawfoot soaking tub where you can relax with your favorite book or simply watch the clouds go by from the well-positioned half moon window. The owner’s suite is in the rear of the home for ultimate privacy and also offers French doors for access to the backyard with a freshly stained deck, the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee. A large, custom-made walk-in closet includes plenty of shelving and storage space, along with a European-style washer/dryer. The ensuite bath includes a walk-in marble shower with a rain head shower system and stunning gold fixtures. You’ll love the intricate white-washed parquet walnut and marble designed flooring in this bedroom that comfortably fits a king-sized bed (pictured). Outside you’ll find a fully fenced backyard with alley access and space to add a garage or parking pad. An adorable shed is the perfect home for your yard tools and sandy beach toys or use it as an artists’ studio. 2016 improvements include: new roof, updated electrical panel, new HVAC (ductwork replaced in 2020), water heater and updated plumbing. You’ll love this centrally located, well-appointed home that feels tucked away in a quiet old Florida neighborhood with tree-lined streets and friendly neighbors.
