275 1ST AVENUE S UNIT 3003 ST PETERSBURG FL 33701 | MLS #TB8548954 | Gary Kusher | Florida Real Estate

Some mornings, the sun rises just for you.
From the 30th floor of Arthouse, it spills through floor-to-ceiling glass and floods every room in amber — catching the marina, the cityscape, the distant shimmer of open water — before the rest of downtown has had its first cup of coffee. This is one of St. Petersburg’s most coveted towers, and the view from here is something you don’t forget.
This is The Curator. And it earns its name.
A rare 2-bedroom, 3-bath residence with a private den, The Curator is among the highest homes currently offered for lease in the building — a position that delivers a perspective only a handful of downtown residences can match. Panoramic cityscapes unfold to the north and south. Sunrises paint the sky east. And a split-bedroom floor plan ensures that even at this altitude, this home offers something rarer than the view: genuine privacy.

Inside, everything was chosen with intention.
The kitchen doesn’t ask you to cook — it dares you to. Rare Michelangelo stone runs counter to ceiling in full leathered slabs, its ancient surface sculptural in its presence. Overhead, a 54-inch solid brass chandelier by Jonathan Browning Studios commands the kitchen island like a piece of architecture — the kind of fixture that stops a conversation. Curated designer silverware, plush towels, and thoughtful décor round out a home that arrives complete.
The living spaces are furnished by Restoration Hardware, with additional pieces from Clive Daniel and Robb & Stucky — sofas built for sinking into, lighting that flatters every hour of the day, and accents that hint at places you’ve been and places you still want to go. European linens, curated greenery, and worldly touches exude sophistication without trying. This is what a home feels like when someone truly cared.
The den is its own world.
A writing desk adorned in petrified wood — wood that became stone over millennia, still holding the grain of the tree — anchors a room designed for focus and stillness. A designer fluted accent wall adds architectural warmth while quietly absorbing sound, making this the most productive work-from-home setup you’ve ever had. It’s the kind of space you walk into and feel inspired.
Rest, as it should be.
Both bedrooms offer en-suite baths and custom closets. The primary suite is further elevated with custom blackout shades — because when the sunrises are this good, you deserve the option to sleep through one. The guest suite holds its own: private en-suite bath, custom closet, and direct balcony access, so your guests never have to feel like guests.A private laundry room adds storage and the kind of quiet convenience that only becomes invisible once you have it.
Life above the city.
Arthouse residents enjoy a collection of amenities that make leaving optional: a resort-style pool with cabanas and sundeck, a state-of-the-art fitness center with cardio, free weights, and a yoga studio, plus sauna and steam rooms for the kind of recovery the week demands. A private resident lounge, entertainment spaces, business center, two guest suites, high-speed internet, valet parking, secured garage access, and 24-hour concierge and security complete the picture. And when you do venture out, you’ll find everything within reach — downtown St. Petersburg’s acclaimed dining, boutique shopping, waterfront parks, world-class museums, and The Pier, all walkable from your front door.
Turnkey. Ready for the life you’ve been building toward.
