In the heart of Gulfport, with its vibrant arts scene, waterfront marina, locally loved restaurants, and independent shops, this home offers a rare blend of character, functionality, and resort-inspired living. Check out the curb appeal — a fresh exterior framed by lush tropical landscaping and a low-maintenance xeriscape front yard. A brick walkway leads you through the covered entry to immediate sightlines of the bright living room offering soaring ceilings and beams, engineered hardwood floors, and a fireplace layered in natural textures. Light pours throughout the open-concept layout, flowing into the dining area. The adjacent kitchen balances functionality with style, featuring linen-toned cabinetry with dovetail drawers, double convection ovens, and a Samsung stainless steel refrigerator. Windows overlooking the patio continue the home’s connected indoor-outdoor feel. Off the main living spaces, a step-down flex room with patio access and built-ins lends itself to a relaxed family room, media lounge, or home office. Three bedrooms include two spacious primary suites. The first primary retreat features a lounge with custom closets that opens into the bedroom where original terracotta tile flooring adds warmth and timeless character. Its ensuite bath features textured stone tilework and earthy organic finishes. The second primary suite offers private access to the carport and an ensuite bathroom with a gorgeous custom door and a stunning clawfoot tub. A third bedroom continues the home’s design language with Art Deco-inspired glass wall accents and double glass sliders opening directly to the patio. The outdoor space is centered around an expansive screened patio. Paver flooring, a covered lanai with large spa, multiple lounging and dining areas, and a shade sail overhead create an atmosphere that feels resort-inspired. The home interior offers a laundry closet with a full-size stackable washer and dryer, and the nearby oversized garage offers more versatility, including additional storage, a full pool bath, kitchenette, and second laundry area — ideal for entertaining, extended guest stays, or multigenerational living. The pool bath itself showcases vibrant tilework by noted tropical artist Monica Watson. This property has been thoughtfully designed for both functionality and sustainability including kayak, canoe, and bike racks, raised garden beds, rain barrels, and mature landscaping that includes various tropical fruits. It offers underground power and utilities, and abundant parking, including space for large trailers or RVs with a 30-amp hookup. Extensive upgrades include whole-home solar power with a Tesla backup battery system, impact-rated windows and doors, whole-house surge protection, new ductwork, UV air purification system, reverse osmosis water filtration, and irrigation on well and tap. The property also boasts extensive integrated security system with cameras, control keypads, infrared monitoring, and integrated smoke detectors, all hardwired into the home’s solar infrastructure. Distinctive, flexible, and deeply connected to the creative coastal spirit of Gulfport, this is far more than a traditional three-bedroom home — it is a private retreat designed for gathering, creating, hosting, and living exceptionally well. Just minutes from downtown St. Petersburg and Gulf beaches, Gulfport offers a uniquely creative and laid-back lifestyle that feels worlds away from typical suburban Florida living.
