This meticulously restored 1917 Prairie-style home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history, blending period charm with all the modern conveniences of today! Located within steps of the vibrant downtown and waterfront parks of St. Petersburg, yet high and dry in a non-flood zone (evacuation zone D), and protected by new PGT hurricane impact windows and a newer roof with hurricane clips. Situated on a generous 60'x127' deep lot, it allows for a covered portico for outdoor dining and entertaining, a spacious pool with sunshelf, spa, and an oversized two-car garage with a one-bedroom guest suite above with a full kitchen, bath and laundry. The current owners lovingly preserved the original heart pine wood floors, plaster walls, moldings, doors, built-ins and hardware throughout. The warm and inviting living room boasts the original brick fireplace upgraded with natural gas, Cuban tile hearth, built-ins and wood box beam ceilings. Take in the Florida sunshine in the enclosed sun porch with the original Cuban tile floors and lots of windows for natural light. Plenty of space to entertain your guests in the large dining room with original built-in Craftsman cabinets stained to match the period trim and moldings. The gorgeous new white kitchen features a natural gas range, shaker-style white cabinets, granite countertops, a large island with waterfall edging, stainless appliances, a wine cooler and two dishwashers. A laundry room, powder bath, and a spacious bedroom with ensuite bath round out the downstairs. Retire upstairs to two bedrooms with walk-in closets, a renovated bath with a large shower and dual sinks, plus a bonus space that can be utilized as another bedroom, home office, fitness/yoga, or tv room. The best of indoor-outdoor living awaits you in your private backyard oasis! Open up the French doors off the kitchen for seamless entertaining onto the covered portico that highlights a built-in grill, prep sink and ice/condiment cooler. Relax poolside by the assortment of palm trees, tropical plants, and pavers that surround a large PebbleTec heated pool and spa, along with a dedicated pool bath with a walk-in shower, an outdoor utility sink and cabinets. Parking for up to 5 cars in the oversized two-car garage and on the parking pad behind the alley (a rarity and bonus this close to downtown).
