230 S JULIA CIRCLE Welcome to Vina del Mar — one of the most prestigious and desirable neighborhoods in St. Pete Beach, where a palm-lined corridor along Pass-A-Grille Way sets the tone for a community defined by manicured surroundings and a distinct coastal character that stands apart from every neighboring area. Tucked just behind Pass-a-Grille, consistently ranked among the best beaches in the United States, this island enclave delivers a rare combination of location, elevation, and lifestyle that cannot be replicated on the barrier islands. Rare opportunity to own a truly turnkey block construction pool home in one of the neighborhood's most sought-after pockets. This 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence with a true bonus room delivers square footage that rivals — and often exceeds — neighboring 3- and 4-bedroom listings, with a bedroom-sized flex space off the primary suite ideal as a home office, guest suite, or private retreat. A bright sunroom adds flexible living space bathed in natural light. Situated in the section of Vina del Mar served by underground utilities, the solid block construction and quality infrastructure represent exactly the kind of foundation today's Florida buyer is looking for. The open/split floor plan is anchored by driftwood-style porcelain tile flooring, custom interior doors blending clean lines with subtle dimension for a modern-coastal aesthetic, frosted glass panel pocket doors, and plantation shutters. The fully remodeled kitchen is the heart of the home: quartz countertops, all-wood cabinetry with soft-close drawers, a pantry with pull-out shelving, KitchenAid appliances, wine storage, and a showstopping 100-year-old cypress beam — a one-of-a-kind detail you won't find anywhere else. Every room — kitchen, living room, and primary suite — looks out onto the lush, private backyard. Open the doors and the outside simply becomes part of the home.

Curb appeal is polished: paver entry, PVC column wraps with exterior sconces, and manicured landscaping accented with river stone and boulders along the walkway. This golf cart-friendly neighborhood sits moments from pickleball courts, tennis, a dog park, playground, and shaded walking paths. Gulf beaches are minutes away.
