PRICE IMPROVEMENT! Fixer-upper with beach vibes & built-in equity! Just one block from the water and bursting with potential, 512 79th Ave in Saint Pete Beach sits proudly on a spacious corner lot with a carport, extra parking for your cars, boats, or paddleboards, and even a separate guest cottage with its own entrance-perfect for visitors, in-laws, or that creative Airbnb idea you've been dreaming about. Yes, the home was affected by flooding-but here's the silver lining: it's your chance to build serious equity with a little vision and sweat equity. The bones are solid with PGT impact windows, a 2-year-old HVAC system (just needs a new compressor), brand new air ducts, and upgraded details throughout-like ceiling fans with light kits, LED recessed lighting in the kitchen, wood blinds, and stylish light fixtures. The sellers even saved the quartz countertops, granite surfaces, microwave, and matching tile backsplash to help you bring the kitchen back to life with flair. The backyard? Think tropical courtyard meets chill beach bar, complete with a surfboard outdoor shower and lush landscaping that captures the essence of laid-back Florida living. Whether you restore the original layout or go big-an expanded kitchen, private master suite, or a total reimagining-the potential is wide open. Location, location... beach! Living in Saint Pete Beach means you're just minutes from award-winning sandy shores, local favorites like Pass-a-Grille, Upham Beach, and legendary spots like The Don CeSar Hotel. Grab Fresh Mahi from Toasted Monkey, catch a sunset cruise, or spend your days kayaking, biking the Pinellas Trail, or enjoying vibrant Downtown St. Pete with its buzzing art scene, waterfront parks, and foodie-approved dining. Photos shown are from before the storm to help you envision this beach home's comeback story. Bring your imagination, your toolbox, and your flip-flops-this slice of paradise is ready for its next chapter.
