Step into a piece of history with this remarkable 1938 home, once owned by Major George Digby Robinson, an infamous military spy, and the man who "brought Radio to St. Pete.” This listing is nestled on an oversized 2.5-lot property, sitting 37 feet above sea level, in a non-evac, non-flood zone area. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence seamlessly blends timeless charm with modern comforts. As you enter, you are greeted by the grand living room featuring soaring cathedral ceilings with rich wood beams, a striking Italian sea fossil rock fireplace, and a gingerbread baluster staircase. Newly installed oak floors add a fresh touch to this classic space. Tucked away behind a charming bookshelf in the living room is a hidden bedroom—a whimsical secret retreat that serves as a perfect hideaway or a delightful surprise for guests. Just above, a quaint loft awaits, offering versatility as an office, playroom, craft room, or even a fourth bedroom. The spacious kitchen is chef or party host's dream, providing an abundance of storage within solid wood cabinetry, stunning quartz countertops, year-old appliances. At its heart lies a show-stopping fully restored vintage stove, an heirloom-quality centerpiece that exemplifies the craftsmanship and elegance of the home's era. The kitchen’s size allows for a large dining table, making it ideal for gatherings of eight or more. The master bedroom is a true retreat, featuring another stunning fireplace, an enormous walk-in closet, and an ensuite bathroom with dual vanities. The additional bedrooms maintain the charm and character that flow throughout the home. Step outside to your private backyard oasis. A large swimming pool, installed in 2020, is surrounded by a newly completed paver deck, creating a perfect setting for relaxation or entertaining. Unwind by the cozy fire pit, in a hammock under the gazebo, or on the screened patio while catching an afternoon of football, complete with an outdoor bar perfect for gatherings. This home has been thoughtfully updated with a new roof (2017), HVAC (2017), ductwork (2023), updated plumbing (2024), an electric water heater (2014), and 30 fully paid solar panels (2018).
