Property Description
Say hello to 828 68th Ave S, where 1959 charm meets your modern-day adventure lifestyle! This isn't just another house—it's your launchpad for the ultimate St. Petersburg experience. Whether you're a water-loving thrill-seeker, a vintage design enthusiast, or simply ready to live your best Florida life, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom solid block beauty checks all the boxes (and then some!).
PLOT TWIST: Sellers Will Consider Owner Financing!
That's right—there's more than one way to make this dream yours. Owner financing options mean more flexibility and potentially easier paths to homeownership. Because we believe everyone deserves a shot at living their best life!
**Your Toys Have Finally Found Their Home**
Let's talk about that glorious oversized lot—because size absolutely matters when you've got an RV, a boat, jet skis, or that growing collection of water toys begging for a proper home. No more storage unit fees or sketchy parking situations! Plus, with Bay Vista Park's boat ramp just 0.4 miles away, you're practically neighbors with the water. Morning paddle? Afternoon fishing trip? Sunset cruise? Yes, yes, and yes!
And did we mention the private pool? Because nothing says "living the dream" quite like floating in your own backyard oasis after a day on the bay.
**Retro Cool That's Actually Cool Again**
Step through the door and prepare for some serious mid-century magic. Original terrazzo floors? Check. Adorable blue and pink ceramic bathroom tiles that would make any vintage lover swoon? Double check. This solid block home has that authentic 1950s personality you just can't fake—and honestly, why would you want to?
Three bedrooms give everyone their own retreat, while two full bathrooms mean no more morning traffic jams. The extra 10x12 bonus room (hello, former garage space!) is ready to become whatever you need—home office, yoga studio, or craft room. And because nobody actually enjoys schlepping to a laundromat, there's a dedicated inside utility room outfitted with a washer and dryer. Adulting made easier!
Ready for the best part? You're perfectly positioned for... well, everything:
0.4 miles to Bay Vista Park (boat ramp = your new best friend),
1.5 miles to Boyd Hill Nature Preserve (birds, turtles, gators, and hiking trails—oh my!),
2.5 miles to St. Pete Country Club (tee time, anyone?),
3.5 miles to St. Pete Tennis Center (advantage: you!),
10 minutes to USF St. Petersburg,
15 minutes to downtown St. Pete's buzzing restaurant scene, galleries, and waterfront fun.
Basically, you're close to everything but far enough away to enjoy your peaceful pool days.
Who's This Perfect For?
First-time buyers ready to skip the boring and buy something with personality.
Downsizers who refuse to sacrifice outdoor space or character.
Anyone with a boat, RV, or water toy collection that needs a proper home.
Design lovers who appreciate authentic mid-century style.
Humans who want to actually enjoy living in Florida (not just surviving it).
Buyers interested in flexible financing options (hello, owner financing!).
This is your chance to own a piece of classic St. Pete charm with enough space to store your adventures and create new ones. Trust us—your future self (and your jet skis) will thank you!
