Residential Property - Single Family Residence in St Petersburg
Listing Price: $729,000
Description of Property
Welcome to 1529 12th Street N, a home that carries the kind of care you can feel, shaped by craftsmanship, intention, and owners who genuinely cherished their time here. This beautifully restored 1952 bungalow embodies the relaxed, indoor-outdoor Florida lifestyle so many hope to find in 33704. In the heart of Hilcrest, vintage character and meaningful updates come together in a way that feels both timeless and reassuring. Located in Flood Zone X with no mandatory flood insurance required, the home’s major systems were thoughtfully addressed between 2023 and 2025, allowing the next owner to simply move in and enjoy. The home offers two bedrooms and one and one-half baths, complemented by a private bonus room tucked behind French doors that brings welcome flexibility. It can serve as a guest bedroom, home office, gym, or creative space as life evolves. Expansive windows flood the interiors with natural light, highlighting the original hardwood floors, crown molding, and plantation shutters that give the living spaces a bright, timeless elegance. The kitchen flows comfortably into the dining and living areas, creating an easy, connected layout for everyday living and effortless entertaining. Outdoors, the backyard feels like a private retreat. Imagine morning coffee on the covered patio or evening wine in your own tropical garden, surrounded by lush landscaping and thoughtful hardscaping. The paved patio offers generous space to gather, dine, or simply unwind beneath the Florida sky. Between 2023 and 2025, the home was beautifully upgraded in ways that elevate both daily living and long-term peace of mind. The main bath was thoughtfully reimagined with a spa-like walk-in shower and proper ventilation, and the original hardwood floors were refinished to restore their warmth and richness. The interior and exterior were freshly painted, and new exterior doors were installed. Behind the scenes, whole-home PEX plumbing was completed in 2025, ductwork was replaced in 2023, dual-glazed PGT windows were installed in 2024, the crawlspace was professionally encapsulated, and the home was tented with a transferable termite bond in 2024. Four irrigation wells were added, and a whole-house water softener and conditioning system was put in place. The result is a truly turnkey mid-century home where the beauty is visible and the essential systems are already addressed. Located just minutes from Crescent Lake Park, downtown St. Petersburg, and the waterfront, the home offers the ease of neighborhood charm with the convenience of city accessibility. Alley access provides entry to the attached garage and additional carport, offering rare and welcome parking flexibility in this part of 33704. The difference here is not only in what has been updated, but in how thoughtfully it has been done. The character has been preserved. The infrastructure has been strengthened. What remains is a beautifully maintained mid-century home prepared for its next chapter.
