1213 55TH Street S This one's for the person who wants a home that bends to fit real life, not the other way around. Just minutes from Gulfport's waterfront and downtown St. Petersburg, this 3-bedroom home leads with flexibility. Step into a bright, welcoming living room that flows straight into the heart of the house. The kitchen's eat-in dining area makes it easy to gather for everyday meals without needing a separate dining room. Two bedrooms sit within the main living area, with the full bath tucked toward the back for privacy. Then there's the third bedroom, and it's the kind of space that changes how you use the whole house. It has its own door to the outside, which makes it easy to use as a guest room, a home office, a hobby room, a fitness space, or a quiet retreat when you just need somewhere separate from the main living area. However you need it to function this year, it'll flex again next year. Out back, a TROPICAL BACKYARD OASIS is waiting. Lush landscaping and an expansive paver patio set up the space for outdoor dining, entertaining, or just sitting outside with a coffee. The FULLY FENCED YARD adds privacy without sacrificing the charm. Location does a lot of the work here too. You're minutes from Gulfport's Arts District, waterfront restaurants, boutique shopping, galleries, parks, and a steady calendar of community events, with Downtown St. Petersburg and the Gulf beaches just a short drive out. It's the kind of spot that gives you neighborhood charm without giving up city convenience. Recent updates include a ROOF (2015), HVAC (2015), ELECTRICAL PANEL (2022), and UPDATED PLUMBING TO THE MAIN SEWER LINE, so the big-ticket items are already handled. Homes with this much flexibility, outdoor living, and location rarely sit for long. Schedule your private tour today.
