Under contract-accepting backup offers. Distinctive Colonial-style home in St. Petersburg’s coveted Old Northeast neighborhood, thoughtfully updated for modern living while preserving its timeless architectural charm. Located among Old Northeast’s iconic brick streets and historic homes, this residence is positioned outside the flood zone and just minutes from North Shore Drive, the Downtown waterfront, and the city’s premier dining and arts scene. A brick pathway leads to a welcoming front porch framed by classic white columns, creating picture-perfect curb appeal. Inside, an abundance of hurricane-impact windows trimmed in crisp white fills the home with natural light. The spacious living room showcases crown molding, period window casings, refinished hardwood floors, and a wood-burning fireplace with custom built-ins, seamlessly flowing into the formal dining room. A generous under-stair storage closet adds practical functionality. The fully upgraded kitchen features 42” white shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and opens to an oversized laundry/mudroom with additional cabinetry and pantry storage. A stylish half bath is tucked at the rear of the home. Upstairs, two guest bedrooms offer large step-in closets, with one bedroom featuring an attached bonus space ideal for a home office, nursery, or flex room. The updated hall bath is centrally positioned for convenience. The primary suite is exceptionally spacious and uncommon for homes of this period – comfortably accommodating a king-sized bed and sitting area. The modernized en-suite bath includes a 60” vanity, large frameless glass shower, and a generous walk-in closet with built-in shelving. Just off the primary suite, a private staircase leads to a high-pitched attic space offering abundant storage and incredible potential for future conversion into additional living space, studio, or private retreat. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a fenced backyard featuring a pavered courtyard and a grassy area for pets. The detached two-car garage includes a new hurricane-rated door, and a dedicated rear parking pad off the alley provides valuable additional guest parking, a rare and highly desirable feature in Old Northeast. Major system updates provide peace of mind, including: New electrical wiring and panel (2013), impact-rated windows throughout (2013), new plumbing from the drains up (2013), roof (2013), dual A/C systems and ductwork (2014), new hurricane-rated garage door (2024), and irrigation system on well. This home had no impacts during any of the 2024 hurricanes. Located near North Shore Beach, the community pool, tennis courts, volleyball courts, and playground, this home offers exceptional access to the outdoor waterfront lifestyle. A short drive or bike ride brings you to Downtown St. Petersburg’s renowned restaurants, boutique shopping, cultural venues, waterfront parks, and museums. This home offers timeless character, thoughtful modern updates, and the rare convenience of ample off-street parking – all in a location that simply can’t be replicated in one of St. Petersburg’s most coveted neighborhoods!
