The Flori de Leon is a 55+ community and all sales must be cash. Located in the heart of the city, the Flori de Leon is a short walk to the cafes, shops, museums and parks of downtown Saint Petersburg. Built in 1927 in the popular Mediterranean-Revival style, it was the home of baseball legends Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Today it retains the vintage charm of the 1920's and 30's with two elegantly furnished seventh-floor lounges. A beautiful grand piano beckons Cole Porter enthusiasts. Two roof-top terraces with views of the city and the bay are popular gathering places in the evenings. From the meticulously preserved oak flooring to the original crystal door knobs, residence 610 is a classic reminder of a bygone era. It is unique in that has a half-bath in addition to a full bathroom. Numerous windows and sliding glass doors leading to the Juliette balcony allow natural light to flow throughout. Whether your "pied de terre" for getaways to St. Petersburg or your full-time residence, you will be captivated by the charm and character the Flori de Leon.
