Nestled in the heart of Old Northeast, this 2,952-square-foot, four-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence seamlessly blends historic character with modern comforts. Thoughtfully designed with multiple indoor and outdoor living spaces, the home reflects the meticulous care of its longtime owners, who completed extensive renovations during their 24 years of ownership.
The exterior features durable Hardie Board siding, added wall insulation throughout, and the rare luxury of a private driveway accommodating up to three vehicles. A welcoming covered front porch opens to light-filled living and dining rooms showcasing original heart-of-pine floors, 9-foot ceilings, a gas fireplace, original built-in dining cabinetry, and classic architectural columns.
At the center of the home, the kitchen offers granite countertops, an eat-in peninsula, marble backsplash, walk-in pantry, and abundant cabinetry. High-end appliances include a Bertazzoni dual-fuel gas range with electric wall oven and a stainless-steel LG refrigerator. Open to the adjacent family room, the space is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. French doors lead to a screened rear porch perfect for morning coffee or alfresco dining overlooking a private, beautifully landscaped backyard.
Upstairs, the primary suite provides a peaceful retreat with a custom California Closets walk-in closet featuring glass-front cabinetry. The fully renovated primary bath (2023) boasts heated tile floors, quartz vanities, brushed gold fixtures, a soaking tub, and a spacious glass-enclosed double shower. Three additional bedrooms (also with original heart-of-pine floors), two renovated hall baths, and a sunroom complete the upper level.
The detached two-car garage (18’ x 24’), built in 2002, has been transformed into a climate-controlled workshop with insulation, new mini-split system, gray wood cabinetry, sink, and quartz countertops (cabinetry added in 2018). With a 16-foot-wide overhead door and alley access, it can easily be converted back to parking if desired. A custom storage shed built in 2021 offers flexible space for bikes and outdoor equipment.
Additional highlights include foundation reinforcement with new concrete piers (2000), a energy efficient tankless gas water heater, Culligan water softener and whole-house filtration system, deep-well irrigation, Anderson double hung windows throughout the majority of the home, and a four-point inspection passed in December 2023. Ideally located just moments from waterfront parks, downtown St. Petersburg, dining, shopping, and cultural attractions, this exceptional home offers a rare combination of timeless charm, thoughtful updates, and an unbeatable location.
