Beautiful block home in a no flood zone and non-deed restricted community. Great location with walkability to the middle and high schools. About 10 mins to downtown St. Pete and less than 30 mins to Tampa. Close to restaurants, shopping, and activities. The home has some of the best of the original character with curved edged cove ceiling in the living area, and the original gray tile with pink tub in the guest hallway bathroom. The large primary bedroom has its own space with an en-suite bath and walk-in shower. This bedroom is split from the two guest bedrooms and has French door access to the spacious backyard. The French doors include in-the-door blinds, so you can control the sunlight in this room. The living, dining, and kitchen is an open space to stay connected with everyone while cooking, and there is a breakfast bar for extra seating. The stainless-steel appliances complement the kitchen and are perfectly placed for kitchen flow. There is plenty of updated wood cabinetry in the kitchen and all the cabinets and drawers are soft close. There is a large lazy susan for canned items, a tall pantry with pull-out drawers for easy access, and a deep hallway closet for bulk storage. The bedroom hallway includes a linen closet right outside the guest bathroom. It is great when a home has a tub/shower combo plus a walk-in shower for convenience of everyone. One larger guest bedroom and a typical smaller bedroom. The living room has beautiful wood-like vinyl flooring. If you are into the original look of the 60s homes, there is terrazzo flooring underneath the tile and carpet in the front part of the home. The windows were placed around 2012. They are double-paned with the tilt-in feature for easy window washing. There are ceiling fans with lights in every room which helps with air flow and a/c usage. This home stays cool. The one car garage has plenty of storage space and is extended to include a laundry area. The backyard is large and full of lush vegetation including two mature oak trees. Enjoy evenings around the firepit with the family, or there is plenty of room to add a swimming pool and outdoor kitchen. The home is well built with concrete block, slab foundation, and concrete plus plaster walls. This is where friends and family come to stay during the storms. The shingle roof was placed in 2010. There is a sprinkler system with well; however, it has not been used in a long time. This is an excellent starter home for a family or even retirees.
