Property Description
This rare 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom waterfront home with a 2-car garage sits on an oversized lot in one of St. Petersburg's most cherished neighborhoods. Canal access to the Bay and Gulf. The backyard is a true blank canvas-large enough for a pool, outdoor kitchen, or lush garden, with plenty of space left to simply relax and enjoy the peaceful water views. Inside, the open and airy layout makes gathering with family and friends effortless. Expansive windows bring in natural light and frame tranquil water views, creating a bright retreat you'll love coming home to. The home did experience its first flood during Hurricane Helene-after decades of staying dry-so it's now being offered as is, providing a perfect opportunity for the next owner to reimagine and design it exactly to their taste. Professionally remediated 1 week after the storms by SERVPRO, installed a brand NEW HVAC system and new gas water heater; not substantially damaged - property can be sold with professionals ready to begin remodeling day one after closing. Life in Riviera Bay is about more than just where you live-it's about how you live. Neighbors here enjoy access to a community boat ramp, two inviting parks, and year-round traditions that bring everyone together. Opportunities like this don't come around often. Schedule your showing today and imagine the life you'll create in this truly special waterfront community.
