***RARE DOUBLE LOT***ELEVATED HIGH & DRY HOUSE*** Get ready to unwind from your busy day in this 3 bedroom, 2 bath KEY WEST style custom home in the trendy, desirable Gulfport Marina District. Enjoy morning coffee or evening cocktails from the 300 square foot, fully screened upper porch in this stilt house overlooking your own EXPANSIVE DOUBLE LOT. This ELEVATED HOUSE means flood insurance would be minimal while still being close to the water. In fact, the recent Hurricane Idalia had zero effect on the house itself. Below the house is a 10 foot high open-air space, which has been fully enclosed with electronic roll-down shades and is large enough to GARAGE 4 CARS, bikes, golf carts and water toys while still allowing ample sitting and entertaining areas—all protected from the elements and insects. The new metal roof installed in 2021 and brand-new wiring for your whole house backup generator are just an added bonus. The fenced-in outdoor living area provides ample opportunity for your personal touch including space for a swimming pool! Large live oaks grace the front and back lawn providing shade on hot summer days and a place to put your hammock. Current owner has planted fruit trees including mango, orange, loquat and coconut for year-round enjoyment. Other mature landscaping around the perimeter of the yard provides privacy for entertaining. If that’s not enough, the deep front yard provides opportunity for even more outdoor living and activity space. A rear alley provides access for boats, RV, and additional parking. Let your imagination wander with the extra lot, which allows for extensive gardening or even a separate ADU (Additional Dwelling Unit) for visiting family and guests, or rental income potential. Or you can even add onto the house for more bedrooms and living space. And did we mention location?? The beautiful Gulf beaches are only a 10-minute drive and Downtown St Pete is 20 minutes away. Don’t feel like hopping in your car? The eclectic downtown area of Gulfport is less than a mile walk or bike ride away. Enjoy a local crafted beer, grab a sandwich or meal at one of the many restaurants, or take in some live music. If biking is your idea of a good time, hop on the Pinellas Trail only a block from the house. This is truly a unique property with tremendous value for all that it offers.
