Are you looking for historic character with a modern twist? Welcome to this mid-century charmer. Glowing oak floors and stucco walls stamp its unique place in history, but it’s kept up with the times. Enter from the cozy front porch to a spacious living room that flows into kitchen, dining and Florida rooms—a flexible plan for whatever your needs. The square kitchen is a joy to work in with ample cabinet space, new counters and sink and all updated appliances. Updated fixtures, sinks and vanities in the bathrooms lend to its appeal. The large closet in the main bath provides plenty of space for towels and toiletries, and three hall closets can store bedding, coats and more. There’s enough room in the bedrooms for beds, dressers and desks. Open that garage door and invite your neighbors in for a cold drink from the garage refrigerator. One of the 2 bathrooms is located here so no need to trek in and out. Perfect for after working in the yard or a future pool. Drop some clothes into the updated washer and dryer, then step out the backdoor into the enchanted paver patio. Privacy inspired landscaping and a delightful fence create a parklike setting for relaxing and gathering with friends and family. The extra-large shed could be a dream workspace, studio or shop with a little TLC, and pets and humans will adore the large, fenced yard. The whole house generator and hurricane shutters offer safety and comfort during storms. The roof was replaced in 2016 and the AC replaced in 2021. But the allure doesn’t stop at the house and yard. This is a friendly place! Neighbors will invite you to driveway parties and offer help if they see a need. You’ll meet regular visitors at the popular Little Free Library. Don’t miss the half block stroll to Leslee Lake where neighbors and dog walkers gather. Every Christmas it’s lit with luminaries and every Halloween a sign appears warning visitors of the Leslee Lake monster. If you’re looking for social exercise, classes or events, try Gladden Park Recreation Center a couple blocks east. The beaches and dynamic downtown St. Petersburg are a 10 to15 minute drive and Tampa International airport is just a half hour hop. Did we mention no HOA and NO FLOOD insurance required? Come experience why the owners feel it's such a warm and welcoming, special place.
