501 22nd Avenue Se, St Petersburg, FL 33705

Description

Rare waterfront find in Tropical Shores! With 80 feet of water frontage directly on Tampa Bay, this property provides spectacular unobstructed views of downtown St. Petersburg, Lassing Park and, on clear days, downtown Tampa. Enjoy sunrises, sunsets, the antics of windsurfers and dolphins, and the constant activity of various seabirds and tropical birds. At night, the sparkling lights of St. Pete's many highrises add magic to the cooling bay breezes. Watch the holiday fireworks from your backyard, kayak or jet ski to the St. Pete Pier, or walk the sandbar in Lassing Park back home at low tide. Enjoy fishing and crabbing from your own seawall. The Salt Life in Paradise! The 1957 Mid-Century Modern home has 2377 sf of living space, which includes spacious Florida room running the length of the back of the house (2960 sf including attached garage). Other features include an oversized 2 car garage, 3 BR, 2.5 BA, storage room, stacked stone woodburning fireplace and terrazzo floors (under some of the flooring), and circular driveway. Extensive renovation required (mostly or entirely cosmetic), just needs your imagination and transformation! This property is all about the location and the views and water access. Consider taking off the roof and adding a second story (the neighbors did exactly that!). The backyard can accommodate a lap pool and spa. Let us give you a tour of the property and the neighborhood. Tropical Shores is a walkable and friendly neighborhood with approximately 100 homes on a peninsula extending into Tampa Bay, just east of the Old Southeast neighborhood of St. Pete. About a 5 minute drive or bike ride, or 15 minute walk, to downtown St. Pete, passing several marinas and USF en route. Tropical Shores has a voluntary HOA and regular "deck and dock" parties to help you meet and enjoy your neighbors, and monthly neighborhood night bike rides complete with lights and music.
