Nestled in the charming Snell Isle neighborhood on picturesque Aranda Street, this dream home is a rare find. Meticulously cared for by its owners for 40 years, it offers 1,836 square feet of comfort and tranquility, and the property did not flood during Hurricane Helene or Milton.
This cozy gem features a paved walkway leading to a granite-floored foyer, opening to airy, open-concept living spaces with original hardwood floors, fireplace, and large panel windows that fill the home with natural light. The kitchen boasts a farmhouse sink, and the two master bedrooms--one of which is a Jack and Jill--including one original tile bathroom, with one master opening directly to the pool. Double French doors from the dining room invite natural light and a refreshing breeze, seamlessly connecting the indoor and outdoor spaces, and leading to a stunning deck perfect for entertaining.
The pool area, featuring an original tiled pool and spa, along with an additional deck for relaxation, provides an ideal retreat. Across the deck, a charming pool house with a separate mini split (2020) and separate entrance offers a versatile living space that can serve as a living room, bedroom, or office, with its own bathroom for added convenience.
Modern upgrades include a new refrigerator and washing machine, American Home Shield protection plan, Ring doorbell, updated electrical panel (2024), and an AC system replaced in 2018. A 20 coil Solar Array (2024) provides energy efficiency, helping reduce electric bills. The new water heater (2024), located in a separate side room, also houses the washing machine and dryer. Located just 2.5 miles from Beach Drive in vibrant downtown St. Pete, this home is close to cultural attractions like the Dali Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, and Mahaffey Theater.
