Want to live close to downtown but aren’t ready for a condo? Love the Old Northeast but not the maintenance of the 2-story wood frame 20’s houses? This single-level block construction home is super-close to all the action but still has a sense of neighborhood, and a front porch to enjoy it from.

Inside, you’ll appreciate the gorgeous wood floors, lots of light and the flow that 1950’s homes are known for. The bedrooms are on the north side of the home, both with customized closet storage, and a shared hall bath (there’s a bonus bath in the garage). A spacious living room opens to the dining area.

Cook your heart out in the kitchen remodeled just about three years ago. Handsome cabinetry and rich granite counter tops flank topof-the-line staineless steel appliances. Pull-out drawers, lazy susans and pantry cabinets give lots of efficient storage with savvy style.

Relax at the end of a busy day on the back porch surrounded by your own tropical oasis. There are lush green plants surrounding the patio space. Like fruit? Around the property are a pineapple patch, a prolific lime tree, a mango tree and the neighbor’s muscat grapes that drape over your fence.

 The location is unbeatable. You’re just blocks from the waterfront and North Shore Park (tennis, volleyball and beach!). Shopping, dining and culture are yours for the asking. Live here and experience all that St. Petersburg has to offer, in a home that will steal your heart.
