240 23RD AVENUE, Saint Petersburg, Florida, 33705

Virtually Staged. Step through the front door and the rest of the world just slows down. Somehow, minutes from downtown, this bungalow feels like a different time and place. You can't help but look up at the vaulted ceiling in the living room, finished beautifully with exposed wood beams. Red oak floors run throughout this bright, open home, and the whole place just feels warm. You can tell right away that it's been loved and well taken care of. It's cute, it's cozy, and it's move-in ready. Beyond all that, there's a real sense of history and peace here that you'll feel the moment you settle in. The oversized corner lot comes in at a generous 9,348 SF, a size you won't often find this close to downtown. Mature landscaping, a spectacular specimen pine, and a variety of trees make coming home feel like a little retreat, and you can enjoy the greenery from every window. Be sure to ask about the Buccaneer and Arikury palms on the property! The big backyard is already made for hanging out with friends and pups, with plenty of room to add a garden, a pool, or a garage with an in-law apartment. So much more than charming, this home is a true showstopper, and it sits in Old Southeast, where being different is how you fit in. It's an artsy, creative neighborhood full of kind neighbors and a peaceful escape from the energy of St. Pete's fast-growing downtown. Young families, singles, executives, and artists all come together here in one of the city's most loved neighborhoods. You're just a short walk from 14-acre waterfront Lassing Park, where you can paddleboard, fish, catch the sunrise and sunset, and even spot the great white pelicans as they migrate through each season. When it's almost too hot to be outside, stroll over to the shady live oak hammock in Driftwood for a walk or bike ride.
