Move-in ready and full of charm, this updated 1 bed/1 bath home sits in Melody Gardens, a resident-owned 55+ community in St. Petersburg, and the share is included. Just short distance from the heated community pool and hot tub via a direct sidewalk to the clubhouse and recreation area, the location is hard to beat. Inside you'll find updated wood-look laminate flooring, a bright open living/kitchen/dining area, a refreshed bathroom with a walkin shower, and a fully equipped kitchen with refrigerator, smooth-top range, and microwave. Two window A/C units and an updated circuit-breaker electrical panel keep things comfortable, and the home's shaded setting under mature pines and palms helps keep it cooler year-round. Storage is exceptional, including a large screened lanai, an enclosed utility room with washer and dryer, and a separate exterior lockable storage closet. Fresh new vinyl siding wraps the home, and there is a roof-over with no leaks. The community shines with a heated pool and hot tub, fitness center, shuffleboard courts, and a clubhouse hosting dances, karaoke, darts, a bike club, and many holiday events. The low monthly HOA of only $195 includes water, trash, and lawn care. A rear gated entrance adds convenience, and the home is in flood zone X. Sold furnished or unfurnished. Minutes to the Bay Pines VA, the Pinellas Trail, and nearby shopping. Buyer approval by the community is required.
