Description

This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from March 28, 2024
Optimal location in coveted Historic Old Northeast. This 1918 Traditional is nestled on a sizable 50 x 130 lot just one block from Black Crow Coffee and only four blocks to vibrant Downtown St. Petersburg. Boasting four bedrooms (4), two and a half bathrooms (2.5), and a loft space, this two-story residence has been updated with gold standard modern finishes, adding to its contemporary comfort and modern conveniences for years to come. Step in past the welcoming covered front porch, and the first thing you notice upon entry is the meticulously maintained original heart of pine floors that flow seamlessly throughout the open and spacious great room, effortlessly blending the updated kitchen and dining area. New LED recessed lights and a designer chandelier add to the contemporary highlights here. The kitchen's benchmark updates include white shaker cabinets, a smooth cooktop on the island, butcher block countertops, and stainless appliances. Just off the kitchen, you’ll be delighted by the formal living room with a half bath, also giving you access to the new Trex deck which spans the entire width of the house, ideal for hosting intimate gatherings or unwinding in your own personal backyard retreat. You’ll love the rare first-floor bedroom and ample storage space throughout. Upon landing upstairs, the large loft flex space is sure to provide options for an office, game area, exercise space, or relaxation station. New floors, baseboards, and fresh paint (2024) throughout the second floor add to the recent updates further detailing the residence's effortless comforts. Make your way beyond the loft area, and you’ll find the updated guest bathroom, laundry room, and three bedrooms, including the updated primary ensuite with higher ceilings allowing for a flood of natural light and a more spacious feeling. Retreat to the newly renovated spa-like primary bathroom, which underwent a full renovation this year in 2024, and embrace details including new tile, a frameless glass shower door, vanity, and fixtures. Other notable recent updates ensuring peace of mind include a newer roof, two (2) newer AC systems with smart thermostats, a newer electrical panel with 200-amp service, and a newer sewer line, all from 2019. Step outside and be greeted by your own personal tropical retreat with a hot tub just off the new deck surrounded by mature lush landscaping for added privacy. Newer pavers lead to the large detached 2-car garage and parking pad that’s large enough for a small boat, golf cart, or extra cars. There’s also plenty of room to put your own personal touch on this backyard haven by adding a pool or ADU. Whether you are hosting gatherings with friends or seeking solace from the hustle and bustle of a long day, this outdoor retreat is a welcoming escape for all. Situated on the renowned brick-lined streets of Old Northeast, this home embraces timeless refinement and is conveniently located in one of the most desirable areas of Old Northeast due to its walkability to everything that makes St. Pete a world-class destination. Start living the St. Pete lifestyle with a one-block walk to the Old NE Tavern, a relaxing stroll to the Vinoy Hotel, vibrant downtown restaurants, theaters, museums, the pier, and shops, or bike along the waterfront!

    "I've lived in this neighborhood for 33 years, and it's a wonderful place to live with lots of trees, families, dogs oh, and more. It's a 5-minute walk to the waterfront parks, and a 10 minute walk to downtown, with restaurants, museums, the new pier and lots of shops."

    "There’s no parking or yard space! it’s also flood evacuation zone A. If you have kids and a dog, I wouldn’t recommend buying anywhere in a flood zone. Google pinellas county evacuation zones- you will see parts of st Pete where property is available to purchase outside of the flood zones. These are located on the disston ridge, which is a much better investment in property considering the risk of sea level rise we are facing over the next several decades as you raise your family."

    "Terrific safe neighborhood for kids. Tree lined streets with sidewalks and people drive slowly through the neighborhood, partly because of the speed limit but also because the brick streets (beautiful) slow people down. Easy commute to Shorecrest Prep. Close to the parks on the bay (beach, tennis, pool, ball fields) and Crescent Lake on the other side of 4th St. All this and is isn’t the ‘burbs, but rather a cool urban community with diversity. "

    "My fiance and I got lucky and recently bought a great fixer-upper in Old NE. For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to live in this neighborhood and I finally do. I can't recommend it highly enough. We are young (still in our 20s) and although we are the youngest on the block by a couple of decades, I definitely get the sense that the area is slowly becoming infused with younger generations. However it's very family-friendly, and overall consists of a great mix of generally nice, neighborly people. Cab rides to and from downtown are about $6, which makes participating in Downtown's nightlife easy and affordable. Northshore Park is beautiful, with tons of options for outdoor activities, and I almost always see dolphins when I'm down there. There's also a boat ramp nearby. Lately there have been so many things (concerts, markets, events, etc.) going on in St. Pete that we don't have enough time to do them all. There's definitely a cultural revolution taking place here, and I feel like Old NE is right in the middle of it. If you can afford it, I'd recommend this neighborhood to anyone!"
