175 55th Ave

A low-rise, mid-20th-century waterfront condominium complex in St. Pete Beach, built in 1960 and arranged across two stories with roughly 18 units. The property’s architecture is modest and functional, reflecting mid-century coastal construction with screened lanais and sliding glass doors that emphasize indoor-outdoor living. Most residences are one-bedroom floorplans (some listings show two-bedroom layouts used as resale configurations) with open living areas, eat-in kitchens or breakfast bars, built-in storage and walk-in closets; interiors commonly feature solid-surface and stone counters, ceiling fans, and in-unit laundry in many units. Exterior amenities focus on a waterfront lifestyle: a heated pool with a large sundeck overlooking the Intracoastal, a dock, outdoor showers, storage lockers, and assigned parking plus guest spaces. Grounds include irrigation, perimeter lighting, fencing, and private balconies that capture water views and wildlife sightings. The community is small and self-managed, with on-site maintenance personnel and recent capital improvements reported, plus a conservative rental policy and pet-friendly rules. Located one block from Gulf beaches and adjacent to dining, shops and a trolley/express bus stop, the building supports a low-maintenance, coastal living experience with easy access to wider Tampa Bay cultural and transport nodes.
