New construction under $500K in St. Pete — a sentence that, if you've been shopping, you know doesn't come up often. 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a second living space/loft, about 1,900 square feet, and nothing left to fix or finish. All in a non-flood zone. The main level has actual detail: tray ceilings, built-ins wrapped around an electric fireplace, and designer finishes carried through the space. The kitchen is brand new start to finish — full appliance package, clean lines, room to work. The primary suite is on the first floor, with a private bath and a spacious walk-in closet. A half-bath sits off the main living area. Upstairs: three more bedrooms and a full bath. The part that doesn't show in photos is the part that matters most in Florida — 2026 HVAC, 2026 water heater, new plumbing, new roof, all to current code. That's not a maintenance list you inherit. That's a better insurance quote. Ideal for first-time buyers and investors alike — or anyone who's tired of paying shoebox rent just to be near downtown St. Pete, when the same location gets you four bedrooms and room to actually live. The arts district's around the corner, the Pinellas Trail's close enough to make a weekend habit of, and it's a short ride to Ferg's before a Rays game or 3 Daughters for live music. New construction, real square footage, low-maintenance systems, and a location that holds its value — under $500K, that's not just a good-looking listing. It's a smart buy.
