"History Preserved, Beauty Reimagined" - This 1920s Spanish-inspired architectural gem in West St. Pete is believed to have been built by “Handsome Jack” Taylor, the visionary developer behind the famed Hotel Rolyat (now Stetson College of Law) and the Pasadena Yacht & Country Club. Set on an estate-sized lot of over one-third acre, the home commands attention with its timeless presence. Original clay bas-relief artwork, Spanish tile accents, and a charming fountain grace the exterior, evoking the elegance of a bygone era. Inside, a spectacular two-story vaulted ceiling welcomes you into the great room, anchored by one of three original fireplaces. With over 1,900 sqft of living space, this residence offers 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. The sweeping staircase leads to the oversized primary suite with a cozy sitting area, fireplace, and private en suite bath. Historic details shine throughout, from arched doors and carved niches to a hidden storage door beneath the main staircase. Thoughtful renovations blend modern convenience with historic integrity. The kitchen has been reimagined to honor the home’s original character, while gleaming hardwood floors have been preserved. Outside, a brand-new pool creates the perfect canvas for reimagining the backyard into your own private tropical oasis, ideal for relaxation or entertaining in the Florida sunshine. Perfectly located in West St. Pete, the property provides easy access to Gulf beaches, shopping, and dining along Central Avenue, and the vibrant Downtown St. Pete scene. Situated in Flood Zone X, no flood insurance is required. This is a rare opportunity to own and steward a piece of St. Pete’s rich history, where old-world craftsmanship meets timeless Florida living.
