Location and lifestyle do all the talking in this bright, updated block home in Seminole - just 2 miles to Madeira Beach and sitting in non-evacuation Zone X at 33 feet above sea level, with no flood insurance required. This immaculate 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with a 1-car garage welcomes you with an expansive, light-filled living room and large neutral tile floors throughout for effortless upkeep. The renovated kitchen is a chef's dream: stainless-steel appliances, a sensor-activated faucet, bright lighting, abundant quartz counters, and generous cabinet storage. Step outside to the expansive covered deck, prewired with a 240V/50-amp outlet for a swim spa or jacuzzi - a true shaded outdoor retreat overlooking the fenced backyard, which offers plenty of room to add a pool. The main bathroom has been beautifully remodeled with a large rounded-edge quartz counter and an extra-large tub. The laundry room, just off the kitchen, includes a storage cabinet ideal for pantry or linens, and sits conveniently next to the second bathroom off the garage. Recent updates: new AC (2018), new electrical panel (2020), new water heater (2020), and a well-water sprinkler system. Prime location, just minutes from the Gulf beaches, Florida Botanical Gardens, public parks, and Seminole City Center Mall. St. Pete-Clearwater Airport is 12 miles away, and Tampa International Airport is 23 miles (under 35 minutes). Zoned for top-rated Orange Grove Elementary, and near Madeira Beach Fundamental, with private schools nearby.
