Description

Welcome to one of Gulfport’s most charming Mid-Century Modern residences. This beautiful home is filled with natural light, showcasing the stunning terrazzo floors throughout. No wonder the house was the star of Gulfport's 2019 Pink Flamingo House Tour! One highlight of the house is the way it flows seamlessly from room to room. As you come in from the beautifully landscaped frontyard you’ll enter the spacious living room, proceed back through the updated open-concept kitchen, and continue into the dining area where large windows and a slider beckon you out to the screen-enclosed pool and lanai area. Outside there’s plenty of room for a large dining table, lounge chairs and of course the large private pool. There are also two outside areas on either side of the screened pool/lanai enclosure. One side includes a shed for storage, and the other side features a good-sized fenced-in backyard, complete with fire pit, grilling area and amazing array of tropical plantings including palm trees, birds of paradise, a large gardenia bush and even orchids! You’ll find that you spend much of your time outside in this private area, whether eating alfresco meals or relaxing in your serene oasis. Getting back to the kitchen for a moment, you’ll notice that it’s an entertainer’s dream. It offers concrete countertops, a tile backsplash, recessed lighting, crown molding, a spacious breakfast bar with built-in wine rack and serving bar, and ample storage. The home’s wonderful flow continues with a short hallway off the kitchen and another one off the living room to the guest bedroom, updated full bath, and large primary bedroom with ensuite full bath. Both bedrooms have spacious closets. A door on the other side of the kitchen area leads to the single-car garage, complete with laundry facilities, overhead storage and even a terrazzo floor. Energy efficiency is a highlight, with a solar system that significantly reduces electricity costs. The house has never been flooded or damaged by storms, but for added peace of mind, all windows have been fitted with custom storm shutters. The block-constructed home was totally renovated 2010-2012. Since then the following improvements have been made: the roof was replaced in 2020, a Solar Array 6.2kWp was installed in 2016, a new HVAC System was installed in 2018, all windows were fitted with storm panels in 2018, the lanai screens were replaced in 2019, the lanai and pool deck were resurfaced with epoxy coating in 2021, a hurricane-rated garage door was installed in 2019, a Safer Home Services Pest and Termite contract has been renewed yearly since 2019, the well-fed irrigation system has received yearly maintenance, and the pool has had a number of replacements in the past five years: pump, salt cell, cartridge filter and chlorine salt generator. This wonderful home presents a rare opportunity to live in an amazing home surrounded by all the opportunities of the unique village of Gulfport, not to mention the thriving arts scene of downtown St. Petersburg and the area’s famous beaches. Don’t miss your chance to live in paradise!
