Boasting 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and 1,088 sq. ft. of thoughtfully updated living space, this charming residence seamlessly blends historic character with modern comforts.

The home’s timeless appeal is elevated by a series of recent upgrades that ensure both style and functionality.

Custom cafe shutters in the living room, dining room, kitchen, and main bedroom add an elegant touch to the home’s interiors, while custom shades in the office and pantry offer both beauty and practicality.

The kitchen is truly the heart of the home, showcasing a 2022 new refrigerator and Bosch dishwasher, alongside a reclaimed heart pine floor sourced from the St. John’s River and expertly installed by Goodwin Heart Pine Company. The warm, rich tones of the wood complement the new granite countertops, farmhouse sink, and gas range w/ dedicated gas line, creating a harmonious blend of vintage charm and modern functionality. The adjacent pantry has also been updated with shelving and new windows.

The primary bath was fully renovated, featuring a new shower enclosure, updated fixtures, custom cabinetry, and a fresh look with new flooring, sink, and toilet.

Additional upgrades from 2020 include new floors in the second bedroom and office, a new tankless gas water heater, and the conversion of the pool to saltwater.

You’ll also appreciate the new vinyl fence along the south side of the property, providing added privacy and security. The pool area has been further enhanced with a new pool pump installed in 2023, ensuring the pool stays pristine and ready for you to enjoy a refreshing dip on one of St. Petersburg’s 361 sunny days.

Further updates in 2023 include a new metal roof, new windows in the office, pantry, and kitchen, and a partial refinishing of the dining room’s built-in cabinetry—ensuring the home’s historic charm remains intact while incorporating modern improvements.
