Mid-Century Modern Gem with a Private Outdoor Oasis! Built in 1959, this spacious ranch-style Mid-Century Modern home blends timeless character with thoughtful updates and an incredible indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Lovingly cared for and ready for its next owner, this home offers generous living spaces, abundant natural light, a spectacular pool area, and a location that puts Florida's best attractions within easy reach. Step inside to a welcoming living room featuring a beautiful bay window, skylights, and a stunning three-sided beveled-glass and travertine surround wood-burning fireplace that serves as a dramatic focal point and can be enjoyed from both the living and dining rooms. The dining room steps down from the living area and flows naturally into the impressive kitchen—truly designed with entertaining in mind.
The chef-inspired kitchen features a huge granite breakfast bar, pendant lighting, stainless steel appliances including a new dishwasher, microwave and refrigerator, modern backsplash, large barn-door pantry, and a greenhouse window overlooking the pool and patio. Whether you're preparing a casual meal or hosting a crowd, there's plenty of room to gather.
The real showstopper is the private outdoor oasis. A sparkling saltwater pool with a gas-heated waterfall spa is surrounded by durable paver decking and a spacious screened enclosure. The impressive 35-foot covered porch provides plenty of room for outdoor dining, lounging, and entertaining year-round. Newer white vinyl fencing adds privacy and completes the backyard retreat.
Inside, low-maintenance Mexican-style ceramic tile flows throughout the home. Vaulted ceilings, skylights, and sky tubes bring natural light into the spacious interior. The split-bedroom floor plan provides privacy, with an impressive primary suite featuring a huge walk-in closet and its own new mini-split AC. The ensuite bath offers a new tall vanity, spa tub, separate shower, generous linen storage, and a new water heater.
Three additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, a home office, hobbies, or other needs. The fourth bedroom is currently being used as an oversized interior laundry room and includes a newer washer and dryer plus a French door leading directly to the pool area.
Outside, the front yard welcomes you with a decorative fountain, sprinkler system, attractive wrought-iron fencing, and mature landscaping. The massive oversized detached two-car garage is extra deep and equipped with workbenches, shelving, and overhead storage. It's an ideal space for a workshop, hobby area, home gym, mancave, or entertaining space. The generous driveway also provides room to accommodate an RV. Major updates provide added peace of mind, including a new 3-ton central AC (2025), new mini-split AC for the primary suite (2025), and a whole-house Generac generator (2025) powered by propane.
LOCATION! Minutes to Gulf beaches & vibrant downtown St. Pete. (award-winning dining, world-class museums, entertainment, Rays and Rowdies games, shopping & everything that makes the area such a desirable place to live. Bay Pines VA Medical Center is also nearby.
Lovingly cared for, thoughtfully updated, and ready for a new owner to make it their own—this distinctive Mid-Century Modern home offers space, flexibility, privacy, and the Florida lifestyle you've been waiting for.
