Mid-century modern character in the heart of south St. Petersburg. This Bayou Bonita ranch home has been thoughtfully refreshed with every update chosen to honor the original bones, preserving what makes a 1953 bungalow worth owning while bringing the systems and finishes forward. Step through the courtyard entry and covered front porch, where a solid-oak address installation and plumeria tree anchor a garden of tropical plantings, and the aesthetic is clear before you're even inside. Dark-stained original hardwood floors carry through the living room, a generous space anchored by original wood-framed sliding glass doors and mid-century inspired light fixtures. A pass-through window connects the living area to the kitchen, renovated in 2021 with granite countertops running full-slab across the backsplash, white solid-wood cabinets, and a breakfast bar that keeps conversation moving whether you're cooking or hosting. The adjacent bonus room is fully flexible and can serve as a family room, home office, or creative studio depending on how you live. The adjacent Florida/bonus room combo beyond the sliding glass doors further the lush Mid-century tropical vibes: marble-look porcelain tile underfoot, a dramatic slanted window flooding the space with natural light, and full-glass French doors opening directly to the fenced backyard. Double doors from this space also lead out to a charming patio of original St. Pete hexagon pavers and coquina shell, where tropical plantings, shade trees, and string-lit evenings have a way of stretching longer than planned. The main backyard continues with a travertine patio, white pebble landscaping, a shade sail, and a raised garden bed. Three bedrooms sit beyond the main living space in a split floor plan. A primary suite at 14.5 x 14.5 with dual closets, a 2021-renovated en-suite bath with new shower tile and fixtures, and a private entrance to the Florida room. Original built-in wood shelving with a botanical wallpaper backdrop in the main hallway carries the mid-century character into every corner of the home while adding real, usable storage. One-car attached garage with a storm-rated door, full-size front-loading LG W/D, Nest smart thermostat, and outdoor motion lighting throughout. New roof 2025. Blocks from Boyd Hill Nature Preserve and minutes from downtown St. Petersburg, Gulfport's dining district, Eckerd College, and the Pinellas Trail, with the Gulf beaches a short drive west. A property worth seeing in person.
