This is how retirement should look. Fully renovated waterfront 2BR/1.5BA in Shore Crest, an active 55+ community — opened up top to bottom, all work permitted, and arguably the nicest unit in the building. Water views the moment you open the door. New wide-plank flooring throughout, brand-new bathrooms, and an open kitchen with quartz counters, soft-close two-tone shaker cabinets and floating shelves; electric range with gas available (included in condo fees). The water carries through the living room, Florida Room, bonus room, and guest bedroom/den — manatees and dolphins off the shoreline. Primary suite with en-suite bath and walk-in closet. PGT vinyl impact Low-E windows; A/C 2022. Enclosed bonus room (included in sq ft) works as office or third sleeping space. At Shore Crest the big-ticket items are done and paid: completed $1.2M roof, $1.4M in building renovations, and all Milestone inspections (Phases 1, 2 & final) funded by the association — plus an exterior repaint underway and already paid. The association is run well enough that HOA fees actually dropped this year, now $551/mo, covering 2 heated pools, sauna, renovated clubhouse, gym, shuffleboard, library/card room, waterfront grills, storage, and a bayfront pier. ~1 mi to St. Pete Beach, 15 min to downtown St. Pete, 3 mi to Gulfport, 30 min to Tampa/airports.
