THE POOL HOME BUYERS WISH THEY'D FOUND FIRST IN ST PETE | Most buyers think about what's hiding behind the walls. At this St. Pete pool home, the answers are already documented. Since 2023, the owner has invested more than $60,000 into the systems that matter most: a complete HVAC replacement in 2023, including the unit and all-new ductwork, a major electrical upgrade, brand-new insulation, a fully replaced sewer line to the city connection with a 10-year warranty, a new pool pump and filter, fresh stucco and exterior paint, and a new water heater. Even better, this home stayed dry through the 2024 storm season and comes with notably low flood insurance costs, the kind of peace of mind that's hard to find in Florida right now. Inside, 1,312 square feet of single-level living flows from the open living room into the eat-in kitchen, where solid surface counters and refreshed cabinetry meet a brand-new 2026 oven, plus a range hood and refrigerator added in 2023. A formal dining room sets the stage for holiday dinners and game nights. The primary suite is a true retreat, with two large closets, a renovated private bath, and a laundry room just beyond with a new 2024 washer and dryer and its own door to the backyard, perfect for post-swim towels and easy wash days. Two more bedrooms give you room for guests, a home office, or a growing household, and new LED lighting, updated outlets and switches, and easy-care flooring mean you can unpack and start living. Slide open the doors from the living room and the oversized backyard becomes your everyday escape. The private in-ground pool is framed by a patio ready for lounge chairs and sunset grilling, all on a 7,500 square foot lot with vinyl fencing and a storage shed for beach gear and tools. Out front, a circular driveway adds curb appeal and easy parking. With no HOA and room for pets of every size, the rules here are yours. Then there's the location. You're about five miles from downtown St. Pete, where the Pier, waterfront dining, museums, and nightlife are waiting, and minutes from the shops and restaurants along 4th Street North and the trails at Weedon Island Preserve and Sawgrass Lake Park. St. Pete-Clearwater and Tampa International airports are both under 30 minutes away, so visits home (and visitors here) are easy. Whether you're trading snow shovels for pool floats or stepping into your first home, a renovated pool home with this much documented investment won't sit long. Schedule your private showing before someone else gets the keys.
