EXCEPTIONAL HOME AND SOLID INVESTMENT!! Built with integrity, this authentic mid-century Florida home showcases its original 3-bed, 2-bath design, solid block construction, free from conversions or additions. Meticulously maintained, tasteful updates enhance its timeless appeal while preserving its classic character. STAINLESS appliances and QUARTZ countertops in the kitchen overlook a peaceful greenspace. Birds serenade from shade trees, while a gentle breeze cools the FENCED BACK YARD and COVERED DECK. This home is ideally oriented to capture warm southern sunlight on the front porch in winter, while neighboring oak trees provide cooling shade during the summer months. With a DOUBLE-SIZED DRIVEWAY and extra-wide side yards there will be no shortage of parking and back yard space for your boat/RV/Pool! Delight in the convenience of this location: just 15 MINUTES from world-famous GULF BEACHES and vibrant DOWNTOWN St. Pete! JW Cate (NW) Community Center and Northwest Elementary School just blocks away. Enjoy peace of mind and LOW INSURANCE: The property resides in a HIGH-ELEVATION ZONE X neighborhood; the hip-shaped ROOF is NEW, and metal STORM SHUTTERS have been fitted for all windows. NO PAST FLOODING, NO DAMAGE FROM STORMS. This just in: T-Mobile is currently installing underground FIBER OPTICS in the neighborhood – outstanding speed and reliability. This happy home is a VERY SMART choice!
