Timeless classic style meets modern luxury in this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence located on a gorgeous tree-lined street in the heart of St. Petersburg’s coveted Old Northeast. Perfectly positioned on a corner lot just one block from Beach Drive and the Tampa Bay waterfront parks, this home offers an A+ location with unmatched walkability and charm. Inside, original architectural details shine; heart-of-pine wood floors, Cuban tile, custom moldings, hollow-tile construction, and a wood-burning fireplace all seamlessly blended with thoughtful modern updates. A light-filled great room addition with hurricane-impact windows creates a stunning extension of the living space and flows effortlessly from the dining area, making it ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The home is also equipped with a whole-house water filtration and softening system for added comfort. The outdoor spaces are truly exceptional, featuring professionally designed landscaping and lighting, a covered outdoor living area, full outdoor kitchen with sink, refrigerator, and grill, an outdoor shower, and approximately 3,000 square feet of pavers. A stained wood fence provides privacy, while a 128-square-foot screened greenhouse with potting station and sink adds charm and versatility. There’s ample room to add a pool, should a future owner desire. Additional highlights include generous off-alley parking with a garage and rear parking pad both finished with new pavers and a versatile bonus space off the garage that can function as a home office, gym, or studio. With solid built construction, lush curb appeal, and a layout designed for both comfort and entertaining, this home offers the very best of Old Northeast living... timeless character, modern convenience, and a location that simply can’t be replicated.
