About this home
The Royal Palm announces itself the moment you arrive — two towering Royal Palms frame this home like a postcard from a slower, sunnier version of St. Petersburg’s past. Tucked just minutes from downtown, this bungalow offers the feeling of having your own private retreat while staying connected to the energy that makes St. Pete so magnetic.
Inside, the home feels surprisingly spacious, with a layout designed for comfortable living and no wasted space. Recent updates include fresh interior and exterior paint, new flooring in the living area, updated LED lighting and ceiling fans, new blinds, an updated bathroom, and new kitchen appliances — thoughtful improvements that enhance the home’s character without taking away from its warmth.
Beyond the front palms, a large fenced yard creates room to entertain, garden, unwind, or simply enjoy a quiet evening under the Florida sky. Just two blocks away, Roberts Recreation Center adds even more to the lifestyle, offering a playground, park, basketball courts, after-school care, yoga, and classes for both adults and youth — a true neighborhood gathering place. And unlike many homes near downtown, The Royal Palm offers an affordable price point without sacrificing personality, outdoor space, or location. If you’ve been waiting for a property with personality — this is your opportunity to claim a piece of St. Pete that feels like home....
