Welcome to a stunningly renovated property located in historic Old Southeast, nestled just south of downtown St Petersburg near the Tampa Bay waterfront. The beauty of this 1920s home has been reawakened by the talents of its architect, designer and contractor. Together, they envisioned and rebuilt a century old home into a contemporary design that encompasses old-world craftsmanship and modern conveniences. As you walk toward this breath-taking home, you will envision your friends and family gathering on the 340 sf front porch, with its 8-foot ceilings, propellor inspired Monte Carlo ceiling fans, original hardwood flooring, and full glass mahogany-stained French doors. Entering the home, your eyes will be drawn to the kitchen and the 9ft ceiling height. Take a moment to appreciate the wood-burning fireplace in the foyer, the grand front staircase to your left and the large living room space to your right.

The kitchen is magnificently designed for home and professional chefs alike, as well as those who prefer to sit nearby and enjoy the show. The expansive size and beautiful design bring together the exquisite elements of a Coppersmith hand-hammered copper hood, chevron glass and mirrored backsplashes, custom cabinetry including lighted, glass-front displays, commercial-style appliances and task lighting to enhance the Level 5-Quartzite Kalahari Blue countertops.
