Under contract-accepting backup offers. 101-year-old antique bungalow seeking a new, bohemian, vintage-loving owner! This charming 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom 1925 bungalow has been a restoration project for the past 7 years that the owner has lived here. The current owner is a 3rd generation St. Pete Native whose family moved here around the same time this house was built, so a lot of heart and soul went into this residence which can be seen from all the 1920s details. From the linoleum flooring up to the tin tile backsplash and (very high) ceiling, the kitchen has been outfitted with a beautiful 100-year-old farmhouse sink and an antique Hoosier cabinet. New cedar plank ceilings in the hall and bedrooms are very well insulated now with new drywall walls and a coat of unpolished Venetian plaster that captures the same texture as the rest of the interior plaster walls. The living room has vaulted ceilings and a large stone fireplace with plenty of room for books. The relaxing front porch/Florida room is equipped with retro jalousie windows and offers additional space which is not calculated in the square footage. The generously sized backyard features a large rolling gate with traffic-free alleyway access and a 1 car garage as well as an awning-covered patio with an outdoor concrete sink and a newly installed irrigation well.
