Rare and elegant! A stunning Old NE block home that has been meticulously updated to keep its architectural integrity and charm and yet includes all the conveniences of a modern update. The entranceway of this gracious home features walls of windows in the restored enclosed atrium and Spanish tile flooring with a circa 1920 finish, including patina accents. The main level and heart of the home includes a beautiful new chef's kitchen with custom cabinets, walnut island, quartz counter tops, a dual fuel Thermador stove, and a bar area with a U-Line wine refrigerator. Entertaining is a pleasure as the kitchen flows perfectly into the formal dining room, and adjacent large living room with a lovely working wood-burning fireplace. Throw open the French doors to an amazing, ultra-private luxury oasis with a saltwater pool, fountain, lounge area, and alfresco dining space, all surrounded by lush landscaping and beautifully enhanced with resort-like energy efficient lighting. Three bedrooms and a large walk-in closet are upstairs in this two-story home, which has a newer roof, energy efficient updates that include new impact windows, new doors, new HVAC, whole home soft water system, tankless water heater, and an extensive list of updates and upgrades that goes on and on. The garage has been transformed into a multifunctional space through a complete interior renovation. New concrete flooring and floor coating, added insulation, new a/c, and interior plumbing allows the area to be used for a large vehicle or as a workspace, gym, and/or entertainment space. A new customized enclosed carport with new PVC fencing and new parking pads provides additional room for multiple cars, bikes, and watersports equipment. The style and grace of this home will exceed your expectations. Walk to the bay or to downtown St Petersburg restaurants and parks; easy access to the beaches, I-275, and Tampa Int'l Airport.
