263 21ST Avenue S 1 Upscale Old Southeast Residence - Designer Finishes, Private Yard & Minutes to Downtown St. Pete This is not your typical rental. Formerly the owner's primary residence, this beautifully upgraded home offers the finishes, comfort and thoughtful details you would expect in a privately owned residence - combined with one of St. Petersburg's most established neighborhood locations. Available furnished or unfurnished, this distinctive Old Southeast property is ideal for someone looking for a refined, quiet home close to downtown without living in the middle of the downtown bustle. Inside, polished concrete floors flow throughout the home, creating a clean, contemporary look that is both stylish and easy to maintain. The spacious living and dining areas feature modern finishes, including a statement chandelier over the dining area, while a separate office provides dedicated work-from-home space. The designer kitchen is beautifully finished with quartz countertops, modern cabinetry, garbage disposal and a new refrigerator, offering an attractive and functional space for everyday living and entertaining. Ceiling fans throughout the home complement the new central heating and air-conditioning system. The split-bedroom floor plan provides excellent privacy. The primary suite feels more like a private retreat, featuring two custom built-in closets with integrated drawers and a completely remodeled ensuite bath with dual vanities and an oversized walk-in shower. The additional bathroom has also been fully updated and includes a deep soaking tub, giving guests or the second bedroom their own beautifully finished space. The upgrades extend well beyond what you see. Impact-resistant windows help reduce exterior sound while improving energy efficiency, and the property also features a new roof, additional attic insulation, new central HVAC, and exhaust ventilation in both the kitchen and bathrooms. These are the kinds of improvements that distinguish an owner-occupied home from an ordinary rental. Outside, enjoy a private fenced yard, an especially valuable feature this close to downtown, along with both off-street and street parking. The setting is residential and peaceful, surrounded by the character and established homes that make Old Southeast such a special St. Petersburg neighborhood. Just moments away is Lassing Park, a beautiful neighborhood waterfront park stretching along Tampa Bay, known for its expansive green space, shoreline views, walking, relaxing, dog walking and enjoying St. Petersburg's spectacular sunrises. It provides the kind of waterfront access that makes living in Old Southeast feel distinctly different from a conventional city rental. Downtown St. Petersburg is approximately a mile away, placing restaurants, cafes, shopping, entertainment and the city's celebrated arts and waterfront districts within easy reach. Nearby destinations include the internationally recognized The Dali Museum and the waterfront University of South Florida St. Petersburg Campus. The downtown waterfront also offers parks, cultural attractions and recreational opportunities surrounding St. Petersburg Municipal Marina. For aviation access, Albert Whitted Airport is located directly along the downtown waterfront and serves private and general aviation, while Tampa International Airport is approximately 21 miles from St. Petersburg.
