What We’ve Closed in 2017

December 12, 2017 By Chris

2017 has been another great year as a Realtor working in the Tampa Bay region. As of today, we’ve helped our clients close on thirty homes. That’s thirty new beginnings! Today we’re taking the time to highlight some of our favorites and some of the unique properties that give our area it’s charm and character.

January

Central Avenue, St. Petersburg

We kicked off the year in a big way with this unique live / work property in the Edge District. The first floor featured street level retail space and the second floor condo was move in ready.


February

Stanwyck Circle, Tampa

We helped our Seller secure a Buyer for their sprawling open floor plan pool home in Tampa. Among the many upgrades and features, this home boasted a media room for entertaining and relaxing.

March

W Dale Avenue, Tampa

A bidding war erupted over this stunning three bedroom, two bath home on an oversized corner lot in Tampa. We helped our Seller secure the best deal possible.

June

Doral Drive – Tampa

This four bedroom, three bath home is quintessential Florida. The outside featured tropical landscaping. Other features included a pool and waterfront access.

August

Live Oak Terrace NE, St. Petersburg

We helped our Buyer search for a new home to call their own and this gem was the winner. With three bedrooms, two baths, this pool home features an open floor plan with distinct Florida architecture.

October

48th Avenue N., St. Petersburg

Our Seller had this house turn key ready. It featured three bedrooms, two & a half baths, spacious floor plan, and a bonus room.

November

4th Avenue S., St. Petersburg

Out latest sale was this two bedrooms, two baths corner PENTHOUSE in the Sage Condominiums. It featured sweeping panoramic views of Downtown and numerous building amenities.

Our goal for 2017 was to become YOUR Realtor and we accomplish that goal for many. Are you looking to buy or sell in 2018? We’d love to be your Realtor team to get you to that goal.

What We’ve Closed in 2016

December 13, 2016 By Chris

It’s been a busy year for our team! We’ve help our clients buy or sell over forty homes this year and we’re still not done yet. We wanted to share some of our favorite properties that we’ve closed in 2016.

548 6th Street N., St. PetersburgWhat We've Closed in 2016

This home celebrated it’s 100th birthday this year in a big way: with a new owner! The classic bungalow style home is located in St. Petersburg historic uptown neighborhood. It features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and many of the historical charms while remaining relevant with today’s lifestyle wants and needs.

3930 24th Avenue N., St. Petersburg

What We've Closed in 2016

We recently helped our Seller close on this stunning mid-century ranch home. Everything about this property was a homerun from the lush landscaping to the tigerwood floors inside, large master bedroom, oversized kitchen with granite countertops, and formal dining room.

9971 58th Street E., Parrish

What We've Closed in 2016

One of our most recent transactions, our Buyers are now calling this four bedroom Pulte property “home”. In addition to the four well sized bedrooms, this home also features a kitchen made for entertaining, custom touches like floor to ceiling bookshelves in the den, and sits on a preserved lot to guarantee privacy.

9971-58th-st-exterior-2

6640 Park Strand Drive, Apollo

What We've Closed in 2016

This property was all about drama. From the moment you stepped through the elegant entry way you were met with dramatic flares such as a French doored office, a great room with twenty foot ceilings and a double staircase that led to a media room. The master bedroom was more like a suite with an enormous walk-in closet, dual vanities, soaking tub, and oversized shower. The home was located within the desirable Waterset Community which has lust-worthy amenities including community swimming pools, clubhouse, fitness center, and numerous trails.  It’s no wonder our Buyers were eager to make this their new home.

September 22, 2015 By Chris

Summer is almost over and it was a busy season for our team. We worked with so many great Buyers and Sellers and helped them make some amazing houses “home”. We’ve rounded up some of our favorites to share with you. Let’s take a look at what sold during the summer. You can click on each of the main pictures for the full listing.

Hounchell-Real-Estate-Summer-2015

First up is this home in the Brighton Bay Community in St. Petersburg. It features 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, light and airy decor and wood floors. The kitchen is just one of the highlights with lots of countertop space and a breakfast bar.

This house screams “Americana” with its tradition outdoor style. Inside the home is resort-like with a master bedroom suite that caught the attention of a lot of buyers but only one walked away with the keys.

If these walls could talk! A piece of history nestled in the Greater Woodlawn section of St. Petersburg. The house was built in 1922 and featured 4 bedrooms, hardwood floors, and even a claw foot tub. It needed some work to bring it back to it’s original splendor but that didn’t stop one lucky buyer. This house went from listing to closing in just three weeks!

The house defined “turn-key” ready. The open floor plan house was freshly painted, had updated windows, a bright and airy kitchen, large backyard ready for outdoor entertainment and a neutral decor that was easy for any buyer to put their stamp on.

Waterfront living never looked so beautiful. This five bedroom home seemed almost too good to be true with a new roof, private dock leading to Lake Armistead, a boat lift, swimming pool, gourmet kitchen, and large areas for entertaining guests. It was truly a one of a kind home.
