Join the Ponderosa Shores renaissance. This home is an open canvas to renovate as you please, and restore this home back to its pre storm beauty on this spectacular waterfront lot that has a newer 81 seawall with 3 cap and large 300 sf custom dock with two working boat lifts. This beautiful waterfront home flooded during Hurricane Helene and was fully remediated with 4 drywall cuts throughout the entire home. All flooring with the exception of the two bathrooms was removed and is currently bare concrete slab floors. Based on a private appraisal as of September 24, 2024, the FEMA 49% rule value is approximately $232,220, providing ample room for a custom high end renovation. Until Hurricane Helene in September, 2024 this home had never flooded since its construction in 1972. This home is a short 10 minute drive to vibrant downtown St. Pete, a 10 minute idle to Tampa Bay and only a few paddle strokes to protected Placido Bayou Mangrove Preserve where you can explore the mangrove trails by kayak or paddle board. Watch dolphins and manatees swim around your dock while you enjoy the sun set behind the mangrove preserve. The newer 40th Avenue bridge has a 13.2 vertical clearance at mean high tide to accommodate most non flybridge vessels. * Protected waterfront with superior all block construction; * 1,789 heated sq/ft, 2,535 total square feet; * 2 car garage with hurricane impact garage door * Azek composite cool decking with wrap around trim, high density polyethylene wrapped dock pilings, electric and water; * 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms with open concept, split floor plan; Lot size: 7,797 sq/ft (0.17 acres MOL. 81 wide x 102 deep MOL); * Home features Vivint security/fire alarm system; * 81' newer seawall with 3 cap (Gulf Coast Marine Construction); * Two Working Boat Lifts: 10,000 lb. boat lift and 4,500 lb. double jet ski/boat lift; * Large Custom Dock: 300 sq/ft (25 x 12 w/ 3 step down platform) * Expansive outdoor deck: 660 sq/ft; * 8 person hot tub (hot tub damaged by flooding); * Room to add pool * Roof: 2012 GAF Timberline 30 year upgraded shingle with roof membrane (assumable warranty) and updated soffits and facia (no damage experienced from hurricanes); * Newer HVAC 2021: Trane, 16 Seer (4 ton) Heat Pump with UV Light system for improved air quality.
