4390 44th St., St. Petersburg, FL 33714

Where else can you find 1,800 square feet of new construction for under $545,000 in St. Petersburg? This one's hard to beat, and it comes backed by the builder's 1-year warranty, giving you true new-construction peace of mind. Step into a kitchen made for gathering: open, airy, and dressed in neutral white cabinets with stainless steel appliances, all centered around a gorgeous white stone island with room for barstool seating. It's the kind of space where everyone naturally ends up, whether cooking, entertaining, or just hanging out. This 4 bedroom, 2 bath home (1,796 sf) is built for real life, with a layout that just works. The primary suite is a true retreat, complete with its own private patio behind hurricane impact sliding doors, plus an ensuite bathroom with a double vanity and walk-in shower. The remaining bedrooms are spacious and flexible, and you'll actually have a dedicated laundry room and real storage instead of squeezing it in somewhere. Outside, the large 2-car garage and big driveway mean parking is never a struggle, whether for your cars, guests, or a boat and toys. Here's the bonus most buyers don't even think to ask about: this home sits in unincorporated St. Petersburg, where short-term rentals are allowed. Whether you're looking for a place to call home or an investment that can also work as an Airbnb, that flexibility is hard to come by and makes this one worth a serious look.
