5500 DENVER ST NE St Petersburg, FL 33703

Even though they will miss this friendly neighborhood, after 25 years of loving their home, the Sellers are ready to downsize. This is an updated, block-constructed home with a 2-car attached garage and 1745 square-feet encompassing an open living plan with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths.  The heart of this home is the spacious family room that looks into a fabulous, well-designed kitchen featuring a natural gas range with double ovens (a cook’s dream), quartz counters, stainless steel appliances and tons of storage.  Friends or family can gather at the breakfast bar and chat with the cook, while they assemble a fun meal. Sliders in the family room lead to a peaceful oasis where a lovely pergola offers a retreat to relax and unwind or entertain on a beautiful evening.  The expansive backyard has plenty of space for a pool, if you’re so inclined. And just beyond the back fence is the fabulous Denver Park, with a playground, lighted basketball court, baseball and softball fields, volleyball court, tennis courts, and spans of open green space.  Back indoors, you have a comfortable living room, a separate dining area plus a split bedroom floor-plan. The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet and a beautifully updated ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower.  On the other side of the house you’ll find two more good-sized bedrooms and another updated bathroom, this one with a Roman tub with shower and beautiful travertine tile floor. Other key features of the home include: roof installed in 2017; new electric panel installed 9/2020, AC in 2009;  tankless gas hot-water heater 2010; all windows have been replaced (at different intervals), a hurricane-rated garage door; workshop area and laundry in the garage. Nearby, the Shore Acres Recreation Center is being replaced with a new recreation center, complete with pool and fitness center, projected completion, Feb 2021. Also close by are golf courses, restaurants, shopping centers, airports, and downtown St. Petersburg, with its hip vibe and new Pier. Come see this home for yourself; maybe you will be ready to pick up the love these folks leave behind.
