Description

Where Historic Uptown Meets Modern Living
Completed in 2019, this thoughtfully designed single-level residence captures everything people love about Historic Uptown while offering the comfort, efficiency, and enduring quality of modern construction. Ideally situated just moments from Crescent Lake and vibrant downtown St. Petersburg, the property offers more than 3,100 square feet of combined living space, including a fully independent guest residence above the detached garage.
A classic bungalow front porch welcomes you home before giving way to bright, light-filled interiors where elevated ceilings, engineered hardwood flooring, expansive hurricane-rated windows, and clean architectural lines create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Every space has been carefully considered, balancing openness with comfort to create a home that feels refined, functional, and effortlessly livable.
Designed to bring people together, the kitchen anchors the home with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, premium stainless steel appliances, double wall ovens, a five-burner natural gas cooktop, walk-in pantry, generous center island, reverse osmosis drinking water system, and abundant storage. It flows naturally into the dining area, spacious living room, and covered lanai, making entertaining and everyday living equally enjoyable.
Large hurricane-rated sliding glass doors open to a covered lanai overlooking professionally landscaped grounds designed for year-round enjoyment with minimal maintenance. Irrigation supplied by a private well with rust filtration keeps the landscape lush while reducing utility costs.
The split-bedroom floor plan offers exceptional flexibility. The primary suite provides a peaceful retreat with a custom walk-in closet and beautifully appointed bath. A secondary bedroom features its own en suite bath and Murphy bed, allowing the space to transition effortlessly between everyday living and welcoming overnight guests. The third bedroom easily serves as a bedroom, home office, fitness room, or creative studio.
Above the detached two-car garage, the fully independent guest residence offers its own private entrance, kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, laundry, and covered balcony. Ideal for extended family, long-term guests, multigenerational living, a private workspace, or rental income, it offers versatility rarely found in Historic Uptown. Alley access, covered carport parking, and a separate electric meter further enhance its functionality.
Built with lasting quality in mind, the home features concrete block construction, hurricane-rated windows and patio doors, natural gas service, a tankless gas water heater, whole-house water softening system, 220-volt service in the garage, and no HOA.
Life here extends well beyond the property itself. Walk or bike beneath Historic Uptown’s canopy of mature oaks to Crescent Lake, neighborhood cafés, local restaurants, museums, waterfront parks, and the energy of downtown St. Petersburg, then return home to one of the city’s most cherished neighborhoods.
Some homes impress the day you walk through the front door. The best homes continue to impress years later in the way they simplify everyday life. This is one of those homes.
