THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HOME THAT'S BEEN RENOVATED AND A HOME THAT'S BEEN GENUINELY CARED FOR IS IMMEDIATELY EVIDENT THE MOMENT YOU ARRIVE. Nestled in St. Petersburg's established LIVE OAKS neighborhood, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath BLOCK home is a rare offering where thoughtful improvements, timeless design, and years of meticulous ownership come together. Located in a desirable NON-FLOOD ZONE, every detail reflects a commitment to quality, comfort, and lasting value. A welcoming front elevation, manicured landscaping, fresh exterior paint, and paver walkways create an inviting first impression.
