Experience elevated waterfront living at the exclusive Hemingway Condominiums, a boutique 14-residence community gracefully set along the Intracoastal waters of Boca Ciega Bay. Ideally positioned just one mile from the sugar white sands and vibrant coastal energy of St. Pete Beach, this beautifully renovated residence offers the best of waterfront serenity without premium beachfront pricing. A $150,000 luxury renovation completed in late 2023 brings a refined coastal-modern aesthetic throughout. The open-concept layout is anchored by a generous entertaining island with a cooktop, seamlessly connecting kitchen, dining and living spaces. Architectural ceiling beams introduce warmth and texture, while expansive windows and a screened balcony capture unobstructed bay views and spectacular sunset skies over Boca Ciega Bay. Positioned on the elevated first floor, the residence remained unaffected by past hurricane flooding, offering valuable peace of mind for waterfront ownership. Each day begins with calm water vistas and ends with dolphins passing through the bay, framed by native coastal birdlife in a truly natural setting. The spacious primary suite provides a quiet retreat, while the secondary bedroom offers exceptional flexibility for guests, a home office or seasonal stays, well-suited for full-time living, a coastal escape or investment use. The Hemingway community is currently undergoing a series of enhancements, including building common area improvements, refreshed paint, a resurfaced waterfront pool and entertainment deck, a new elevator, upgraded carports and renovated common areas. The redesigned lobby introduces modern flooring, updated ceilings and new community mailboxes. All property improvements are fully funded with no planned assessments. Residents enjoy an oversized waterfront amenity area featuring a heated pool, spa and barbecue gathering spaces overlooking the bay, an intimate resort-style experience rarely found in a boutique setting. HOA coverage includes building and flood insurance, along with traditional condominium ownership and no land lease, further enhancing long-term value and ease of ownership. Conveniently located near Publix, Winn-Dixie, Walmart Market, acclaimed local dining including Tom Peter's Famous Smoked Fish and just 0.3 miles from Pasadena Hospital and Fire Station 20 and other local services. Downtown St. Petersburg is 7.5 miles and Tampa International Airport is 27 miles from the residence. This exceptional waterfront residence captures the best of Florida coastal living.
