Virtually Staged. Beautiful, charming, classic Gulfport bungalow home in desired Waterview Park neighborhood with an additional 308 sq ft loft w/ full bath, kitchen, vaulted ceilings, and separate entrance. (in permitting) The main house is a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home with 1,005 square feet, hardwood flooring, cove ceilings, excellent natural light, and the warm original character that makes a Gulfport bungalow feel like home. The pristine vintage pink tile bathroom keeps the home beautifully connected to its bungalow roots, while the layout and feel are bright, comfortable, and full of personality. Within 15 minutes to 4 beaches that have been voted #1 Beach in America: St Pete Beach, Treasure Island, Madeira & Ft Desoto. Don't forget Sunset Beach the local secret. Less than a mile to Gulfport Beach, Casino, Rec Center, and the world famous O'Maddy's Bar. You're 10 minutes to downtown St Pete & close to Interstate 275. This home could not be situated in a more perfect location. Gulfport is home to art walks, open-air markets, lovely cafes, shade trees, live music, shade trees & sunsets. The lot and neighborhood are shaded by mature trees that help make outdoor living comfortable all day long. The fenced backyard feels private, tropical, and unmistakably Gulfport, with Royal palms, a fruit-producing mango tree, a fruit-producing pecan tree, and mature landscaping. There are 4 brand-new wells still under warranty, along with an irrigation system, giving you years of low-cost watering to keep the landscaping lush without running up your water bill. There is also an 8 by 10 shed on a concrete pad for extra storage. The home has been carefully maintained over the years with newer upgrades including A/C, hurricane windows, roof, and exterior paint. It sits approximately 3 feet above the street, in Flood Zone X on the edge of Disston Heights Ridge located on a block that did not flood during Helene. Flood insurance is not required by the current owner’s mortgage company, giving buyers an important detail to explore with their own lender and insurance provider. In the back, the property includes a freshly renovated 308 square foot modern loft-style bonus space with its own separate entrance. Previously rented for $1,300/month, this flexible area offers excellent options for guests, work-from-home use, studio space, extended stays, or potential income-producing use, subject to buyer due diligence and all applicable city, zoning, rental, and permitting requirements. The space features vaulted ceilings, modern finishes, a kitchen area, bathroom, and a clean modern design that gives the property added versatility beyond the main home. The street is lined with well-kept homes, huge shade trees, mature landscaping, great neighbors, & the perfect micro-neighborhood. Close enough to everything you need far away from everything you don't.
