5001 26th Ave., St. Petersburg, FL 33710

A lake-front home that does NOT require flood insurance! This unique location was formerly an exotic bird and plant sanctuary for Sunken Gardens and continues to be a beautiful, tropical oasis. Resting on a 110x128, lake front lot, this single-story, 3 bedroom / 2 bath home is in pristine condition. The terrazzo floors have just been refinished and the whole home has been freshly painted in & out. This home was fully renovated in 2006, with a contemporary feel; granite counters, stainless steel appliances, impact resistant windows, whole house vac, separate office, and walk-in closets. A split floor plan provides privacy. The large picture window in the living room overlooks a scenic, tranquil lake lined with mature trees draped in Spanish moss. French doors lead to the back yard with a brick-paved patio, and the lake is perfect for canoe or kayak. PLUS, this home is centrally located and close to both downtown St. Petersburg, and the Gulf beaches.
