Renovated Pool Home on a Corner Lot. Imagine pulling up to your meticulously manicured corner lot every evening and feeling, immediately, like you've arrived somewhere special. That's the everyday reality waiting for you at this beautifully reimagined pool home in one of northeast St. Pete's most desirable neighborhoods. Inside and you'll find over 1,700 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space in a solid block-construction home that's been loved by the same family for more than 30 years - and it shows. The floor plan flows effortlessly between a reimagined chef's kitchen, generous living areas, and a primary en-suite that feels less like a bathroom and more like a personal spa. We're talking frameless glass, LED-backlit mirrors, new fixtures, and built-in Bluetooth - so you can unwind to your favorite playlist, podcast, or audiobook at the end of a long day. The kitchen? It's the kind of space that makes you actually want to cook. All-new stainless appliances, a built-in oven, quartz countertops, a custom backsplash, solid wood shaker cabinets with serious storage, a smooth-top range, and recessed LED lighting. Even the most discerning home chef will feel right at home. No corners were cut in this homes 2025 renovation as it was lovingly updated by its owners of 30 years, not flippers. Throughout the home you'll find new wood-look tile floors, fresh paint, automatic blinds, and new LED recessed lighting - every upgrade chosen with intention. And the mechanical side of the house? Completely dialed in: new HVAC (2025), new impact sliders and partial windows (2025), new plumbing (2023), tankless water heater (2023), and new electrical (2025). All work was permitted making this: worry-free Florida living, fully realized. Now - the backyard. Slide open either set of large sliders, let the natural light pour in, and walk out into what can only be described as your own personal resort. A sparkling 15,000-gallon PebbleTec pool set in custom pavers, a screened lanai for year-round lounging, and a backdrop of lush tropical greenery that makes the outside world feel very, very far away. Picture yourself here on a Sunday morning with your coffee, or hosting friends on a warm Florida evening while the sun melts into the horizon. This is that yard. And the neighborhood? Shore Acres delivers. It's a golf cart-friendly community with a genuine sense of belonging - think holiday golf cart parades, an annual boat parade, and neighbors who actually wave. You're just minutes from vibrant Downtown St. Pete's restaurants and shops, and the shimmering waters of Tampa Bay are practically at your doorstep. Stroll to a nearby park, hop on your bike and cruise through Snell Isle to Coffee Pot Park or historic Vinoy Park along the Northeast Trail - the lifestyle here is as rich as the home itself.
