About this home

Experience elevated waterfront living at Hemingway Condominiums, an exclusive 14-residence boutique community gracefully positioned along the Intracoastal waters of Boca Ciega Bay. Located just one mile from the sugar-white sands and vibrant coastal lifestyle of St. Pete Beach, this beautifully renovated residence offers the perfect balance of waterfront tranquility and convenience without premium beachfront pricing. A stunning $150,000 luxury renovation completed in late 2023 showcases a refined coastal-modern design throughout. The open-concept floor plan centers around a spacious entertaining island with cooktop, seamlessly connecting the kitchen, dining, and living areas. Architectural ceiling beams add warmth and character, while expansive windows and a screened waterfront balcony frame unobstructed views of Boca Ciega Bay and breathtaking sunset skies. Positioned on the elevated first floor, the residence remained unaffected by previous hurricane flooding, offering added peace of mind for waterfront ownership. Each day begins with serene water views and often ends with dolphins gliding through the bay, accompanied by native coastal birds that create a truly picturesque Florida setting. The spacious primary suite serves as a private retreat, while the guest bedroom offers flexibility as a home office, seasonal accommodation, or additional living space. Whether used as a full-time residence, vacation getaway, or investment property, the home adapts effortlessly to a variety of lifestyles. Hemingway Condominiums is a non-55+ community and is currently undergoing an impressive series of community enhancements, including refreshed exterior paint, resurfacing of the waterfront pool and entertainment deck, a new elevator, upgraded carports, renovated common areas, and a redesigned lobby featuring updated flooring, ceilings, and community mailboxes. Best of all, all 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 Boca Ciega Bay, creating an intimate resort-style atmosphere rarely found in a boutique community. HOA fees include building and flood insurance, and ownership includes traditional condominium ownership with no land lease, enhancing both value and ease of ownership. Conveniently located near Publix, Winn-Dixie, Walmart Neighborhood Market, local banks, and popular dining destinations including Ted Peters Famous Smoked Fish, the residence also sits just 0.3 miles from Pasadena Hospital and Fire Station 20. Downtown St. Petersburg is approximately 7.5 miles away, while Tampa International Airport is just 27 miles from your door. Combining luxury renovations, sweeping waterfront views, a highly desirable location, and a well-maintained community with no planned assessments, this exceptional residence captures the very best of Florida coastal living.
