Enjoy bright, easy Florida living in this spacious south-facing 1-bedroom, 1-bath co-op located in Suncoast Towers, a well-maintained community just a few blocks from the heart of downtown St. Petersburg. Whether you are looking for the perfect seasonal retreat, a low-maintenance second home away from colder climates, or a convenient coastal getaway for Florida residents, this exceptional location offers the best of the St. Pete lifestyle. Just two blocks from Mirror Lake Park, the World's Largest Shuffleboard Complex, and the historic Carnegie Library, and only a short stroll to 6th & Central, you are surrounded by some of downtown St. Petersburg's best restaurants, shops, entertainment, and nightlife. Spend your days exploring Beach Drive, the St. Pete Pier, museums, waterfront parks, festivals, and the area's world-famous Gulf beaches-all within easy reach. Inside, this approximately 850 square foot residence feels open, inviting, and larger than expected. Eight south-facing windows throughout the bedroom and living areas fill the home with natural light while offering pleasant city views. The spacious great room provides plenty of room for both living and dining areas, and the comfortable bedroom easily accommodates a queen-size bed with additional furniture. The original Art Deco bathroom adds timeless character and has been thoughtfully updated with a resurfaced tub, new vanity and sink, sleek black Delta fixtures, and a Toto toilet-blending vintage charm with modern convenience. As a stock cooperative, this property offers a simple and predictable lifestyle with cash-only ownership. The monthly HOA fee includes many of the major expenses of homeownership, including heat and air conditioning, electricity, water, sewer, trash, internet, cable, building insurance, maintenance, and reserves. This makes Suncoast Towers a true lock-and-leave residence ideal for seasonal owners and those seeking a simplified Florida lifestyle. The building has benefited from significant recent improvements, including a new roof, new Hardie plank siding, and hurricane-rated impact windows. The property is not located in a flood zone, and required structural and milestone inspections have been completed. Residents enjoy well-maintained common areas, including a shaded garden with mature landscaping, outdoor grill and patio area, elevator, surface parking, and convenient first-floor laundry with three washers and three dryers available at no cost to residents. Recent updates to the first-floor common area include new flooring, fresh paint, new doors, updated kitchen cabinets and counters, and new furnishings, creating a clean and welcoming atmosphere. Pet owners will appreciate a generous pet policy allowing up to two dogs, each up to 100 pounds-an uncommon feature at this price point and location. This is a 55+ community; however, up to 20% of units may be owned or occupied by individuals under age 55. Buyers should verify with the association regarding current availability of under-55 occupancy opportunities, as the allowable percentage may already be allocated. Live where others vacation and enjoy the convenience of downtown St. Petersburg, the beauty of Florida's Gulf Coast, and the simplicity of a true lock-and-leave second home. Cash-only offers due to cooperative ownership structure.
