A mid-century modern marvel restored and refined for today’s living.
Welcome to 8220 24th Ave N, nestled on a double lot in the picturesque Jungle Beach neighborhood of St. Petersburg. Originally the Philip S. Gee residence in 1957, this stunning home is a one-of-a-kind piece of architecture that has been meticulously restored and refined for today's discerning homeowner. A painstakingly curated renovation has transformed this property into a modern, sun-filled retreat that seamlessly blends Atomic Age elegance with contemporary comforts.
As you enter, you'll be captivated by the breathtaking living area, which features a soaring two-story ceiling and expansive original floor-to-ceiling windows that bathe the space in natural light. A tranquil water feature creates a peaceful ambiance, while a travertine fireplace adds a touch of warmth and sophistication. The spectacular suspended staircase, an architectural masterpiece, was crafted with suspension wires tied into the ceiling beams even before the roof was installed.
The home's interior boasts restored and refinished terrazzo floors that enhance its mid-century charm. The completely new bathroom downstairs is both modern and sleek, featuring a new vanity, shower, and tile. The versatile third bedroom can easily serve as a guest room or office, offering flexibility for your lifestyle needs.
Upstairs, the primary suite has been thoroughly remodeled to provide a luxurious haven. The new bathroom includes a shower/tub, marble vanity and travertine tile, while the primary bedroom itself has been thoughtfully reworked to offer a serene and comfortable space. Beautiful oak nail-down wood plank floors upstairs add warmth and elegance to the home. Enjoy a morning coffee and view of the back yard garden from the airy sliding doors to the redone balcony that wraps around the entire back of the home.
The second bedroom could also be a primary. This fantastic room is adorned with nail-down oak plank floors that complement the home's historical charm. The original en-suite bathroom retains its authentic allure with original tile. A skylight bathes the wood-paneled bathroom in natural light. The bedroom extends into a spacious sitting area that opens out to a pair of sliding glass doors. These open to the back and side of the home. From here, you can even catch a peek of the intercoastal.
Outdoor enthusiasts will be enchanted by the refurbished orchid house, complete with lighting, a fan, and a water wall. Could easily be repurposed into a great yoga room. The reimagined landscape lighting throughout the property highlights the Japanese-style landscaping, which includes several unique plants brought in from outside the area, as well as tropical flora that creates a stunning front and back landscape.
The home also features the sought after mid-century Ocala block which is left exposed both inside and outside the home, a new roof, fresh paint, and a totally reworked balcony and railings.
