3580 38TH AVENUE S UNIT 96

Light, bright, and spacious one-bedroom, second-floor condo, renovated with an open floor plan. Being located in "X" (no flood insurance required) zone gives you lower insurance costs. This is a sought-after corner unit in the gated, over-55 Patriot Square community with its private outside rear stairway to the courtyard and parking. The private balcony off the living room overlooks a green courtyard oasis, not a wall, road, or the building next door. A recently updated kitchen and bath in addition to its spacious bedroom with a walk-in closet help make this a very desirable residence. The energy-efficient central AC was installed in 2015. Patriot Square is established, well-managed, and attractively landscaped with 2 pools, saunas, tennis/pickleball, and shuffleboard courts. The setting and recreational facilities in this friendly community can't be beat for the money within the City of St. Pete. Centrally located for your convenience. Just a 10-minute drive north to St Pete's thriving downtown, 10 minutes west to the artsy village of Gulfport, and only 15 minutes southwest to the beautiful beaches at Fort De Soto and St. Pete Beach! In the immediate area, there are a Publix, an Aldi, a Starbucks, banks, and a CVS pharmacy. A Sprouts natural food market just opened nearby, as well as several new restaurants and take-outs in this rapidly developing Skyway Marina district. A covered bus stop is located just outside the main gate of Patriot Square. The city's wide, paved Skyway Trail in front of the community along 37th St. S. is perfect for a short walk or bike ride to the waterfront Tiki Bar and Grill and Starbucks just a few blocks south. 2 pets (25 lbs. and under) are permitted with an additional deposit. All residents must be aged 55+ and approved by the condo board.
