5421 Essex Ave S, Gulfport, FL 33707

Fantastic opportunity to complete this dream home in the heart of the highly desired art district of Gulfport! Vacant Lot with foundation and first floor block completed, it’s ready for someone to finish it to their specifications. Just one block from Boca Ciega Bay, the current plans are for Key West Style three-story structure with 2400 sq ft of living space thereby maintaining a consistency with the other homes on the street. It is one of the few places in town that is allowed to be used as an AirBnB vacation rental income property; NO minimum rental period! Just behind O’Maddys Restaurant and Williams Pier, this home when finished will provide for spectacular views of the Boca Ciega Bay. Walking distance to everything, you will enjoy downtown Gulfport with its eclectic shops, art galleries and world-class restaurants. Or you can opt for a leisurely ride on the free Gulfport trolley. Launch your canoe or kayak at Clam Bayou and nature watch at this habitat for fiddler crabs, clams, wading birds, dolphins, and manatees. Gulfport is known as the “Gateway to the Gulf” hence a boater’s dream! Keep your boat at the Gulfport Marina or join the Boca Ciega Yacht club. Such a great convenient location: just a hop, skip and jump over to St Pete Beach or to downtown St Petersburg. Hurry! Won't last.
