Property Description

New price and an exceptional opportunity in one of St. Pete Beach's most desirable neighborhoods. Welcome to 197 Lido Drive, an extensively renovated coastal home offering the rare combination of location, condition and true move-in-ready convenience. Just a short walk to the Gulf of Mexico, this 2 bedroom, 2 bath plus another room that can be another bedroom or office home has been thoughtfully updated from top to bottom so the next owner can simply move in and enjoy the beach lifestyle. The longtime owner has completed extensive improvements throughout the home, including a new roof in 2024, newer air conditioning, updated plumbing and electrical, impact-rated windows with a transferable lifetime warranty, renovated kitchen and bathrooms, new flooring, fresh interior and exterior paint, updated lighting, doors, hardware and more. The bright coastal kitchen features quartz countertops, solid wood cabinetry and upgraded appliances, with an open connection to the main living and dining spaces. Wood-look tile runs throughout the home, creating a clean and cohesive feel while also offering the durability that works so well for beach living. Both bathrooms have been completely updated with quartz countertops, new tile, fixtures and finishes. The enclosed Florida room with Easy Breeze windows provides an additional comfortable space for morning coffee, reading or relaxing after a day at the beach. Outside, the fully fenced backyard offers a private patio and pergola surrounded by low-maintenance xeriscape landscaping, creating an inviting setting for entertaining or enjoying Florida evenings. A one-car garage and circular driveway provide convenient parking and additional storage for bikes, beach gear and everyday needs. The location is what makes this home especially appealing. Walk to the beach, bike to local restaurants and marinas, enjoy days along the Gulf and end the evening with a St. Pete Beach sunset. With no HOA and the ability to rent for periods of one month or longer, the property offers flexibility as a primary residence, second home or investment. Buyers may also have the opportunity to assume the owner's existing flood insurance policy, subject to applicable requirements, which could provide additional long-term value. With the major improvements already completed and a newly adjusted price, 197 Lido Drive deserves a fresh look. Come see how easy beach living can be when the work has already been done.
