435 16TH AVENUE NE

Come be captivated by this charming brick Tudor home in the desirable Historic Old Northeast. Starting with the white picket fence, mature rose bushes and gardenias, you’ll continue to find clever nooks, built-in features, porches and “Harry Potter” closets and clever storage spaces throughout. Enter to a traditional vibe with original oak flooring, cove ceilings and picture moldings that’s modernized with plantation shutters. The formal living room highlights a wood-burning fireplace with custom built-in surrounds. French doors open to a private side screened porch. Then there’s a handsome office with built-in bookshelves, and an adjacent laundry room and a powder room. The formal dining room has built-in display cabinetry. This leads to the kitchen, with granite countertops and rich wood cabinetry. There’s a central natural gas range cooking island, and a dry bar with beverage refrigerator and wine storage. The family room focuses on a gas fireplace, and leads you to the outdoor space. A wide covered lanai looks out over the salt water pool, and leads to the covered outdoor kitchen and dining area. There’s a guest house here, and then a 1 car garage plus a parking pad from the alley. The primary suite is on the first floor, with an incredible bath featuring an aromatherapy steam shower and a jetted tub. The other three bedrooms and full bath are upstairs. Two have cozy window seats, and one has a private patio. The third opens to an incredible rooftop deck that’s also accessible by spiral stairs from the patio below. Referred to as a “front porch neighborhood,” there’s an annual Candlelight Tour of Homes, and Halloween is a monumental event that even includes some block parties! You’re just blocks from Coffee Pot Bayou and Tampa Bay, the city’s award-winning waterfront parks system, and a short distance from vibrant downtown St. Petersburg with excellent dining, shopping, museums, galleries, night life and more.
