U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist has put his condominium in St. Petersburg, FL, on the market for $1.5 million. Crist had shared the home with his wife of eight years, Carole. Crist filed for divorce in February.

The three-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom condo measures 2,736 square feet and is located in downtown St. Petersburg.

“It’s right smack in the middle of all the activity going on in St. Petersburg,” says listing agent Rhonda Sanderford of Yes-Homes. “You [can] walk to the movies, you walk to the grocery store, you walk to do your shopping. Then you have all the parks.”

And depending on whom you ask, the city offers one of the best waterfronts in the country.

Located on the seventh floor of the Parkshore Plaza building, the condo’s amenities include a private elevator, combination living and dining room, kitchen with balcony, and master suite with balcony.

Building amenities include a swimming pool, heated spa, and gym.

When the couple moved in, they installed birch wood floors and furnished it to Crist’s taste.

“His furnishings are very traditional,” says Sanderford. “And when you couple that with the coastal wood floors, it gives you that very traditional look. Some are beautiful antiques that have been passed down from his family.”

Crist served as the 44th governor of Florida, from 2007 to 2011, during which time he switched his party affiliation from Republican to Democrat. He ran for the U.S. Senate in 2010 as a Republican, but lost to Marco Rubio. In 2016, Crist was elected as a Democrat to the U.S. House of Representatives from Florida’s 13th Congressional District.
