Property Description

Framed by two towering Royal Palms, this charming St. Petersburg home feels like a postcard from a slower, sunnier Florida era. Tucked just minutes from downtown, this bungalow offers the feeling of having your own private retreat while staying connected to the energy that makes St. Pete so magnetic.
Inside, the home feels surprisingly spacious, with a layout designed for comfortable living and no wasted space. Recent updates include fresh interior and exterior paint, new flooring in the living area, updated LED lighting and ceiling fans, new blinds, an updated bathroom, and new kitchen appliances — thoughtful improvements that enhance the home's character without taking away from its warmth.
Beyond the front palms, a large fenced yard creates room to entertain, garden, unwind, or simply enjoy a quiet evening under the Florida sky. Just two blocks away, Roberts Recreation Center adds even more to the lifestyle, offering a playground, park, basketball courts, after-school care, yoga, and classes for both adults and youth — a true neighborhood gathering place. And unlike many homes near downtown, The Royal Palm offers an affordable price point without sacrificing personality, outdoor space, or location. If you've been waiting for a property with personality — this is your opportunity to claim a piece of St. Pete that feels like home.

Angie went above and beyond as my realtor. We toured multiple houses together, and she truly listened to my opinions and adjusted to my needs. As a first-time home-buyer, I was initially very hesitant about the whole process, but Angie’s made the entire process manageable by communicating timely and objectively. She ensured I had all the information needed to make an informed decision and provided her own research and expertise during negotiations. I loved going through this process with her. I felt safe knowing she was on my side and looking out for my best interests. I recently closed on the perfect dream house for my mom, and after multiple tours, deep research, and late-night texts, we made it happen! Thank you so much, Angie! You saw my vision, believed in me, and worked with me to make this dream a reality. I appreciate you always communicating, respecting my work schedule, and bringing your expertise to the table. I never felt judged, and you made the entire process so much less stressful. I am so glad to have worked with you. I 100% recommend you! <3
