Under contract-accepting backup offers. Experience elevated Shore Acres living in one of the neighborhood’s most coveted high and dry residences. Architectural character, well-appointed updates, and versatile living space come together beautifully within this stunning home, ideally positioned in one of St. Petersburg’s most beloved waterfront communities. Built in 1981, this exceptional 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom residence offers the rare advantage of raised-level construction, a feature increasingly found only among Shore Acres’ newest multi-million-dollar builds, yet offered here without the new-construction price tag. The main living level offers 1,414 square feet of heated living space elevated on the second floor, providing both privacy and peace of mind, while an additional 703 square feet of fully finished space below expands the home’s functional footprint well beyond the official heated square footage. Upstairs, natural light pours through oversized windows and skylights, illuminating the open living and dining areas. Soaring ceilings with exposed beams create a striking architectural focal point, complementing the warmth of the hardwood flooring and the home’s mid-century modern character. The kitchen has been tastefully updated with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, designer lighting, and clean modern finishes, all flowing seamlessly into the main entertaining spaces. Downstairs, the finished lower level has been thoughtfully designed with water-resilient construction in mind, featuring waterproof materials including resilient concrete wallboard and durable tile flooring. This level provides exceptional flexibility for bonus living space, guest quarters, recreation, gym, studio, or work-from-home use. Comfort is maintained year-round with a dedicated split-system wall-mounted heat pump unit to keep the lower level cool throughout the Summer months and warm during the few colder winter days. Outdoor living is equally inviting. A spacious wraparound porch accessed by a decorative wrought-iron spiral staircase creates the perfect setting for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying Florida evenings. The property also features a fenced yard, tropical landscaping, and irrigation improvements. Additional value-driven highlights include: • Assumable flood insurance policy • Transferable A/C warranty • Transferable termite warranty • Solar panel subscription service to be assumed by buyer, significantly reducing monthly power costs • Elevated main living level for added storm protection • High-and-dry positioning within Shore Acres Location remains one of the home’s greatest luxuries. Residents enjoy close proximity to Shore Acres Golf Club, the Shore Acres Recreation Center, and the new multi-million-dollar Speer YMCA. Downtown St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay, beaches, dining, and entertainment are all just a short drive away. This property delivers the character buyers love, the structural peace of mind they want, and the flexible square footage today’s lifestyle demands, all in one of St. Pete’s most beloved neighborhoods. Come tour this gem of a home in person and lock in your chance to own a piece of paradise while you still can!
