3595 40TH AVENUE S UNIT 2

This attractive and spacious 3-bedroom (or 2 and a den) condominium is situated on the highly desired ground floor. Also, it is located out of all flood zones as shown on recently revised FEMA maps. This means lower insurance costs and a higher sense of security. The bright, updated kitchen features white cabinets and newer appliances that contrast beautifully with the dark stone countertops. Both bathrooms are updated with very attractive tiles and vanity granite countertops. Both the 3rd bedroom/den and spacious living room have sliding glass doors opening onto the very large, enclosed Florida room/lanai that looks out directly on a large greenspace, The lanai has electric storm shutters for added storm protection. Monthly HOA fees include cable and internet access. 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. This gated community is 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's a Publix, Aldi, Starbucks, banks, and CVS pharmacy. A Sprouts natural food market recently opened nearby as well as several new restaurant and take-outs in this rapidly developing Skyway Marina district. A covered bus stop is located just outside Patriot Square's main gate. 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. If you are considering a purchase to rent out now, but perhaps for future personal use, it's good that a new buyer may rent this condo immediately to qualified 55+ tenants without any waiting period.
