1847 Shore Dr S

Shore Crest is an eight-story, mid-century concrete condominium complex built in 1969 and oriented directly on Boca Ciega Bay in South Pasadena, Florida. The property is primarily configured as two-bedroom residences with a mix of floor levels that include ground-floor walkouts and upper-floor units offering broad water views. Architecturally the building reflects practical coastal construction of its era—reinforced concrete with balcony lines and extensive glazing in living areas and Florida rooms. Interiors commonly feature open floor plans, high ceilings, tray or crown moldings, solid-surface or stone counters, built-in cabinetry, walk-in closets, ceiling fans, and accessibility features; many units include remodeled kitchens and updated windows or HVAC systems. Common areas and on-site amenities emphasize a resort-style waterfront lifestyle: two heated pools, sauna, clubhouse with fitness/exercise room, billiards/library, shuffleboard and bocce courts, landscaped courtyards and gardens, day dock and kayak launch, outdoor grills and dining patios, and storage/bike racks. Practical building infrastructure upgrades over recent years include plumbing repiping, roof work, painted exteriors, new walkways and railings, and seawall improvements. Services and provisions unique to the association include comprehensive maintenance fees covering gas for cooking and hot water, assigned parking, elevators, laundry on select floors, hurricane shutters or impact windows, and a social committee that programs activities. The community enforces age and occupancy restrictions (55+), prohibits pets and short-term rentals in many listings, and sits minutes from St. Pete Beach, downtown St. Petersburg, transit stops, restaurants and medical facilities — offering a low-maintenance, waterfront retirement or seasonal-living environment.
