1005 16th Avenue SSt Petersburg, FL 33705Price: $249,000

A 1925 Craftsman bungalow in Osborne Place with original hardwood floors, a coffered ceiling, a fireplace, and its built-ins intact, priced for the buyer ready to bring it back. Flood Zone X, a 50 x 130 lot with alley access, and minutes from Downtown St. Pete. The character is all still here. The front door opens onto an enclosed front porch with a beadboard ceiling and a wall of original windows looking into the living room. The living room has a coffered ceiling, paneled wainscoting, a fireplace with mantel, and a built-in bench. A Craftsman colonnade with built-in bookcases on both sides opens to the dining room, which carries the same wainscoting and hardwood floors. The main floor has two bedrooms and two full baths, including a bedroom with its own bath. The kitchen has wood cabinets and a long counter under a bank of windows, and a bright enclosed rear porch holds the laundry. Upstairs, the finished attic adds a third bedroom, a bonus room, and a half bath, with flexible space for an office, guests, or a studio. Outside, a stone-paver side path leads to a deep, fenced backyard with alley access and plenty of room for a garden, a pool, or future expansion (buyer to verify with the City of St. Petersburg). The home needs updating throughout and is being sold as-is, priced so the next owner can put that work in and keep the upside. You're minutes from Downtown St. Pete, the Edge District, I-275, and Tampa Bay, with Gulf beaches a short drive away.
