**** NEW PRICE!! ***** Welcome to life in the serene community of Lake Maggiore Shores, an oasis just 7 minutes from Downtown St. Pete! Here you will find this beautiful sun-drenched concrete block 4-bedroom, 3.5 baths, 2 car garaged home on nearly a half-acre corner lot. This home, with a peekaboo view of Lake Maggiore from the front yard, is meticulously renovated from top-to-bottom, transformed into a spacious open-concept floor-plan and fresh modern style with rustic touches. At the heart of this home are a light-filled, airy living room with unique mid-century crown molding, stylish and carefree gray-grain laminate floors and updated hearth - the perfect setting for both elegant entertaining and cozy family life. Its open space flows seamlessly into the adjoining dining room and sleek new chef's kitchen boasting 100% wood shaker soft-close cabinets, gorgeous granite countertops, brand-new stainless appliances, and luminous glass and stone mosaic backsplash. This spacious home continues out into a vast glassed and screened, separately zoned airconditioned sun-room with a vaulted ceiling that spans the back of the house - perfect as a playroom, den, man-cave (or she-shed), with plenty of room for the family to relax, entertain or play. The main house features three of the four bedrooms, all amply sized and tastefully updated, with matching flooring, new trim, and closets (one cedar), and the owner's suite features an en-suite bathroom retreat. Each spa-like bathroom has been appointed with serene contemporary tile, creating a peaceful setting. BONUS: This incredible home also includes an attached, yet separately entranced, fully-renovated one-bedroom apartment, ideal as a mother-in-law suite, expanded owner suite with additional space and privacy, or a rental unit to generate additional income! With nearly half an acre on a corner lot of level property at your doorstep, opportunities abound to transform the expansive block wall perimeter privacy fenced yard into a tropical paradise by adding a pool or garden. A working well and new good pump with a newly installed sprinkler system provide available watering for the landscaped areas. An existing paved courtyard with electrical access is the perfect spot for a hot tub or jacuzzi spa. New wrought-iron gates adorn the entrances to the back yard, complementing the tropical plantings for extra curb appeal. This home is outfitted with major updates to ensure many years of worry-free living: Brand-new roof, new windows, all new plumbing, updated electrical wiring, and a brand new 3-zone air-conditioning system; 5 ton for the main house, and two mini-splits for the sunroom and Mother-N-Law suite. And NO flood insurance required for this property! Conveniently located 7 minutes from Downtown St. Pete, just blocks from the interstate, this home is also a few minutes drive to several excellent schools, as well as the Lake Maggiore Park access boat ramp and playground.
