2920 3rd Ave S Saint Petersburg, FL 33712

Nestled just 3 blocks from Central Ave, this historic 2-story traditional home blends timeless character with modern updates all whilst offering over 2,000 sq. ft. of living space. At first glance this home rivals those of new builds with its recent extreme exterior makeover with all new Hardie board siding, hurricane impact windows, fresh paint, new landscaping and a brand new roof (2024). On the contrary, this is a true piece of history, a centennial home, celebrating its 100th birthday. Step inside and you are greeted by an inviting sunroom with natural wood beadboard ceilings and an abundance of windows. The living room boasts high ceilings and has custom built-in bookcases surrounding the cozy fireplace. The main floor offers 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath, the laundry room, and the kitchen/dining room. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances (including a gas stove), solid granite countertops, and antique brass hardware. Upstairs you will find 2 more massive bedrooms that are identical in size with walk-in closets and quirky nooks you only find in these older homes. The primary bedroom even has the original brick chimney exposed. If the inside of the home hasn't already stolen your heart, just wait until you step outside. The backyard offers a tranquil retreat, fully fenced with privacy fencing and featuring a wood slat grilling station, a detached garage/workshop, and a large covered carport with plenty of space for outdoor entertaining. Oh and I hope you like guacamole because there is a mature fruit bearing avocado tree producing 100s every year. If you have been wanting to live in the heart of the city, the Palmetto Park neighborhood is perfect for you. Not only is it high and dry (no flood insurance needed here!), but you are just a quick stroll away from countless restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, and businesses. Imagine wandering to Bandit Coffee, grabbing a bagel from Pete's Bagels, having tacos for lunch at Casita Taqueria and ending the day with live music at 3 Daughters Brewing. The new pickleball facility, St Pete Athletic, is just blocks away along with the 32,000-square-foot pedestrian-only retail village that has been approved as part of the redevelopment of the Jim & Heather Gills YMCA. Take advantage of a great investment opportunity as new construction homes this size in this area go for well over 1 million. Listing agent is the owner. Other things to note, gas tankless hot water heater (2021), electric (2018), plumbing (2018), and AC (2018).
