Move-in ready with extensive improvements, this home features a new roof (2025), hurricane-rated garage door (2025), PGT impact windows, four sets of impact sliding glass doors, remodeled bathrooms, paver driveway, automatic sprinkler system supplied by well water, fresh exterior paint, seamless gutters, whole-house water filtration system, water softener, and newer water heater. These thoughtful upgrades provide lasting value, comfort, and confidence during Florida’s storm season. Perfectly located just minutes from the Gulf beaches and outside the flood zone at approximately 60 feet above sea level, this home offers coastal convenience with added peace of mind. Enjoy easy access to downtown St. Petersburg, Tampa, Clearwater, and Sarasota, creating the perfect balance of beachside living and city convenience. Inside, the bright and inviting floor plan blends comfort and function. The open kitchen features warm wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, a large farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, and expansive windows overlooking the pool and lanai. Tubular skylights bring in natural light, while the cozy wood-burning fireplace creates a welcoming gathering space. A noteworthy feature is the spacious guest suite with a private entrance and kitchenette, offering endless possibilities as an in-law suite, private guest accommodations, teen retreat, home office, or potential income-producing space—a rare and valuable feature in a home of this size. The tranquil koi pond adds a unique backyard element and can be enjoyed your way. The sellers are happy to provide a simple orientation on care and maintenance, recommend local pond service professionals, or remove the fish prior to closing if the new owners prefer to convert the space into a landscaped planter or garden feature. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, seasonal getaway, or investment opportunity, this exceptional property offers the rare combination of resort-style outdoor living, flexible accommodations, extensive upgrades, and an unbeatable location.
