Under contract-accepting backup offers. SELLER OFFERING $10,000 TOWARDS BUYER'S CLOSING COSTS- use it to buy down your rate or apply it to your closing costs! For the first time ever, this magnificent waterfront, NEVER FLOODED Shore Acres residence with wide open canal views is available for purchase! Perched on an oversized 0.3 acre lot, the home features a split-level floor plan with the main living area elevated several feet above ground level. Up the brick stairs and through the front door, the foyer leads you into either the expansive living room with custom built-ins and a large bay window, or into the kitchen that reveals stellar views of the water… imagine cooking a meal and seeing dolphins or manatees right in your backyard! Also revealing some breathtaking water views is the large dining room with parquet floors just off the kitchen and living room. Head upstairs for some R&R, where the four bedrooms and two full bathrooms await, including a primary bedroom with en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. From the main level, you can go down a short flight of stairs to the spacious den with half bathroom, where informal living has no limits (envisioning a play room, office space, sports room, TV room… truly endless possibilities). Through the back door is the most peaceful screened-in patio with vaulted ceiling from which you’ll find yourself gazing off into the water for hours on end. The back yard has almost 80 feet of NEWER SEAWALL (replaced in 2018), and beautiful mature landscaping. Parking is a breeze between the two-car garage, two-car carport, the long driveway, a brick parking pad by the street, AND a wide side yard if you need to park a trailer behind a fence. Want to go downtown St. Pete? A quick drive, or better yet, boat ride, will get you there in no time! Or bring your boat, kayak, or paddle boards around to Weedon Island for a coastal nature experience like no other. Roof was replaced in 2016… and if you didn’t catch it before… this home has NEVER flooded!! Call today to see what could be yours.
