4435 1ST STREET NE 305

LIVE CLOSE TO THE ENERGY OF DOWNTOWN ST. PETERSBURG—WITHOUT THE PRICE TAG! This inviting third-floor, two-bedroom condominium at Placido Gardens offers a comfortable place to call home, an incredibly convenient Northeast St. Pete location, and a few wonderful surprises you might never expect to find at this price. Inside, warm wood tone flooring connects the generous living and dining spaces, while the updated kitchen features gray cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and a crisp subway-tile backsplash. There's even a coffee bar! The flexible second bedroom provides room for guests, a home office, or both. The balcony may quickly become your favorite room in the home. Looking out over a canopy of mature trees, it feels peaceful, green and wonderfully removed from the activity below. Start the morning with coffee among the treetops, settle in with a book, or listen to the crack of the bat and the cheers from the Little League field across the street—one of the simple pleasures the sellers have loved about living here. Then there is the unexpected retreat behind the community. Follow the path to Placido Gardens’ shared canal-front gathering area, where picnic tables, mangroves and a small community dock create a relaxed setting for lunch outdoors, a quiet afternoon by the water. Whole Foods is approximately one-half mile away, with Northeast Shopping Center, everyday conveniences, restaurants and coffee nearby. Downtown St. Petersburg—with its waterfront parks, museums, galleries, dining and year-round events—is only a short drive from home. You are minutes from the Beautiful Gulf Beaches, St. Pete Clearwater Airport, and Tampa International Airport is a 19 mile drive. With two bedrooms, an updated interior, a memorable screened balcony, on-site laundry, canal-front community amenities and a monthly condominium fee of $629, this is an appealing choice for a full-time home, a St. Petersburg getaway, or an investment opportunity subject to association leasing requirements. At Placido Gardens, you can stay connected to everything you love about St. Pete while enjoying a peaceful corner of your own.
