Description

Step Back in Time with this Charming St. Pete Beach Home.
For those of us who grew up on St. Pete Beach in the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s, memories of The Aquatarium, Tussaud’s London Wax Museum, and the Out of Sight Shop bring back a lot of great memories. It was a simpler time of balmy breezes, the morning smell of the salt air, walking the beaches and great fishing.
But time marches on and as I turn south on Gulf Blvd. from Corey Avenue, and drive towards Pass-a-Grille Beach, St. Pete Beach is now hardly recognizable.
Never fear, the charm and simplicity of yesteryears still exist in this 1950’s St. Pete Beach home.
Just walking distance to Gulf Beaches Elementary Magnet School and a short drive to restaurants, shopping, and the beach this home is a delightful time capsule that embodies the essence of a bygone era. With beautiful terrazzo floors (preserved under the carpeting), wet plaster ceilings and walls, arched doorways, mostly original kitchen and bathrooms, jalousie windows, and wall and window mounted AC units, this home has an undeniable charm that pulls on the heartstrings.
This split-plan 2-bedroom 2- bath home features a large living room area that flows seamlessly into the dining room through an arched doorway. The dining room opens into the kitchen which leads into the bonus room. The primary bedroom offers ample space for a king-size bedroom set and the second bedroom easily accommodates a queen-size bed and dresser. With plenty of closet space, a convenient inside laundry room, and lots of natural light streaming throughout, this home is very cozy and comfortable.
With a new roof in 2021 and a new reverse cycle AC/Heat in May 2024, this home is inviting you to create your own lasting memories.
