The story
Welcome home to this beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 1-bath property tucked away on a quiet dead-end street and backing directly to Raymond H. Neri Park. Offering a unique combination of modern updates, flexible outdoor space, and a peaceful setting, this home is move-in ready and full of possibilities. The home was thoughtfully updated in 2019 with hardwood soft-close cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, central A/C, a Nest smart thermostat, Schlage keyless entry, fresh interior and exterior paint, new windows, a new driveway, and recessed LED lighting. 2026 updates include a new hot water heater, full hot-and-cold-water re-pipe, smart-home lighting, custom French doors, waterproof luxury vinyl plank flooring, and a custom double gate accommodating up to an 18-foot boat or RV along the side of the home. Additional features include a metal roof, indoor laundry room with washer and dryer, approximately 400-square-foot sunroom, fenced backyard, storage shed, paver side-yard patio with space for grilling and relaxing, and a designated fire-pit area. The open kitchen and living area create a welcoming space for everyday living and entertaining. One of the property’s standout features is its location directly behind Raymond H. Neri Park, a newly rebuilt 38-acre recreational and natural area reopened in 2026. The park offers fitness equipment, two dog parks, multiple playgrounds, and a mile-long paved multi-use trail winding through the property and across two bridges overlooking Joe’s Creek. The surrounding natural habitat is home to a variety of Florida wildlife, including birds, turtles, alligators, and otters. The property is also located just 3 minutes from Lealman Exchange, a community resource center offering programs and events for all ages, including movie nights, morning markets, and more. The space is also home to the Lealman YMCA preschool Academy hosting youth from infancy to VPK. Located in unincorporated Pinellas County, this property may offer additional flexibility for owners interested in rental opportunities, subject to applicable county and local regulations. It also presents an excellent opportunity for a first-time homebuyer, with potential access to Pinellas County down payment assistance programs for qualified buyers. Enjoy the best of a peaceful residential setting while remaining just minutes from St. Pete’s beaches, downtown, dining, shopping, and entertainment.
