Get ready to fall in love with a backyard so massive, you could throw the party of the year, plant a full garden, add a pool, and still have room to spare — all sitting on a jaw-dropping 11,000+ square foot lot that's nearly impossible to find anywhere in St. Petersburg. Short-term rentals are allowed here. Fully renovated by Davis Development, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home (1,596 sf) blends the character of its 1953 roots with newer, modern finishes throughout, so you get the charm of an established St. Pete neighborhood without inheriting anyone's to-do list. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, including a primary suite with a walk-in closet and a double vanity sink, giving you that extra bit of everyday ease that's hard to come by in an older home. If you've been priced out of new construction but don't want a project, this is the sweet spot: a beautifully renovated home from a builder known for doing it right, sitting on a lot size you simply can't replicate anywhere else in St. Petersburg.
