Positioned on an expansive 101 x 130 waterfront lot along Smacks Bayou, this Shore Acres property offers a rare opportunity to secure wide-open water views that truly stand out from typical canal-front homes. From the backyard, enjoy sweeping views across the bayou with a distant glimpse of the downtown St. Petersburg skyline-an unexpected and highly desirable backdrop. With 3,321 heated square feet, a pool, private dock, and boat lift already in place, the property is well-suited for both renovation or new construction. The home experienced flooding during Hurricane Helene and has been professionally remediated with drywall removed, offering a clean slate for restoration. Importantly, this marks the only flood event the home has experienced since it was built. The layout includes generous interior living spaces and an oversized upstairs primary suite with private balcony overlooking the water, further capturing the expansive views. The existing footprint provides flexibility for those looking to redesign and modernize, while the lot itself presents an exceptional opportunity for a custom waterfront build. Outdoor living is a major highlight, featuring a large covered patio with a wood-paneled ceiling, built-in hot tub, and multiple seating and entertaining areas-all positioned to take full advantage of the water views. The pool is ideally placed along the waterfront, and the dock with boat lift makes this a turnkey option for boating enthusiasts. The size, frontage, and orientation of this lot make it a standout compared to other waterfront properties in Shore Acres, offering both presence from the street and a more open, expansive feel along the water. Ideally located in the highly sought-after Northeast St. Petersburg area, Shore Acres offers a true waterfront lifestyle with neighborhood parks, playgrounds, and a strong sense of community. Enjoy a golf cart-friendly atmosphere with convenient access to Islander Market, top-rated Shore Acres Elementary, and just minutes to vibrant downtown St. Petersburg with its renowned dining, shopping, and waterfront attractions. This is a rare opportunity to secure a premier waterfront lot with exceptional views and significant upside in one of St. Pete's most desirable waterfront communities. Solar panels are in place for those considering renovation of the existing home. Cash purchase only. No wholesalers. No subject-to offers.
