Under contract-accepting backup offers. Step into a rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 3-bath block home on an expansive half-acre lot—complete with a likely buildable adjacent lot offering exciting investment or development potential. Rebuilt from the block structure up in 2015, this home blends modern comfort with timeless design, featuring double-pane, low-E, impact-rated windows for energy efficiency, noise reduction, and storm protection. The open-concept kitchen has been fully redesigned with granite countertops, white cabinetry including pantry storage, stainless steel appliances, a spacious breakfast bar island, and a designer travertine backsplash. The main living areas are finished in rich, dark-stained floors that add warmth and sophistication, while the kitchen and bathrooms feature durable earth-toned ceramic and porcelain tile. All three bathrooms have been tastefully renovated with sleek, contemporary finishes. A bright, spacious living room with an adjacent full bath opens to a screened-in, covered lanai surrounded by mature oak trees and lush tropical landscaping—ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The adjacent lot includes a gated second driveway leading to a large concrete pad shaded by a sprawling pergola, with solar panels that help power the main home. Located just half a mile from I-275 and five miles from downtown St. Pete, with quick access to Tampa, Clearwater, and the Gulf beaches, this professionally updated home offers the perfect blend of privacy, flexibility, and future potential—all in a centrally located neighborhood. And the possibilities don’t stop there: the property is zoned for an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit), giving you the option to build a guest house, income-producing rental, or multigenerational living space. You could also split the lot and sell the second parcel, hold onto the full .48 acres for added privacy, or create your own backyard oasis with a pool, garden, or workshop. Whether you’re dreaming big or planning smart, this property offers endless potential to make it your own.
