This is a Rare opportunity to put your own touches on an untouched 3 story 1920’s home in the highly desired historic Old North East. You don’t want to miss out on this lovely 1920 Dutch Colonial home. No flood insurance required! Truly a diamond in the rough waiting for your own personal touches. Loved by the current owners for the past 35 years and previously loved by a master finish carpenter who finished the 3rd floor into 2 bedrooms with large closets in the early 80’s. Original oak hardwood floors, 9 1/2 foot ceilings, a ball & claw footed bathtub, glass doorknobs with brass escutcheons, lighted wall sconces, traditional original mill work with 8” baseboards, 5” door trim, a built in linen closet on the 2nd floor landing and custom trimmed ceilings in sunroom & graceful arched ceilings in the master bathroom are all original to this 1920’s home. Plenty of room for entertaining and for a large family to spread out on all 3 floors. There are 5 full bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. The large (25x14) living room has a wood burning fireplace and 2 French doors lead to an inviting Sunroom with original tile flooring. Bright & Sunny windows galore welcome the sunshine inside. On the North side of the foyer, the formal dining room has a pair of double French doors and is big enough for a table that seats 10 making your home the perfect place for ALL of your family & friends to gather to celebrate the holidays together. Behind the dining room is a large kitchen & sunny paneled breakfast nook with double French doors leading to the yard. The kitchen features the original pantry cabinet, a gas range & the original custom built range hood. Off the kitchen is the inside laundry room, it’s a rarity to have the laundry room inside a 1920’s home! The breakfast nook’s French doors lead to the side yard with room for a pool and then out to the detached garage with a half bath(future pool bath?) & lots of storage in the loft. There is also off-street parking for 2 cars in front of garage. The SECOND floor features a huge master bedroom & bath suite- almost 500 square feet- with his & his closets. There are 2 more bedrooms, another bath and even an alcove for a home office. The THIRD floor is accessed by a gorgeous custom wood spiral staircase and has 2 more bedrooms with dormer windows that invite the sunshine in. Both have large closets and one has a French door leading to a small landing. The 3rd floor is perfect for teenagers seeking privacy, playrooms for the toddler with all their toys or quiet home offices. High & dry with no flood insurance required. New roof in 2019. Energy efficient Split air system with two 2 ton units. The first floor AC was replaced in 2014. Upgraded electrical breaker boxes. Tented for drywood termites in January 2021. Under termite warranty. This home is priced to allow for the updates that the new homeowner will want to make. This property is perfectly located! If you love to walk, head east two blocks to Coffee Pot Bayou with it’s a wide sidewalk leading through several parks to downtown St Petersburg OR head west a couple of blocks to Trader Joes, Fresh Market, a local fruit stand & great restaurants. Pass a Grille Beach, Tampa International airport, Tropicana Field, the Ice Palace or the Buccaneers Stadium. NOTE: Total square footage includes 221 square feet of air conditioned space in the Sunroom (EP in public records)
