Welcome to this beautifully preserved and thoughtfully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom Key West-style historic bungalow, ideally situated in the highly desirable Old Southeast neighborhood of St. Petersburg. Just blocks from the tranquil shoreline of Lassing Park and sparkling Tampa Bay, this home captures the timeless charm of early Florida living—without the concern of being in a flood zone.

From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed by a classic screened-in front porch adorned with original period tile—perfect for morning coffee or sunset breezes. Step inside to discover original hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and architectural details that whisper stories of the past, including a cozy fireplace framed by its original mantle and elegant period sconces.

French doors open from the spacious living area to the screened porch, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. The dining room, just off the kitchen, features a custom wet bar and butler’s pantry—perfect for entertaining. The kitchen itself is a cook’s dream, featuring wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a charming farmhouse sink, and a breakfast bar for casual meals.

Upstairs, the sunlit primary bedroom boasts dual closets and gleaming hardwood floors. The two guest bedrooms are equally inviting—one with a generous closet and wraparound windows, and the other offering a wall of windows and direct access to a private balcony overlooking the lush backyard oasis.

The home features two beautifully appointed bathrooms: the upstairs bath includes travertine tile and a tub/shower combo, while the downstairs bath features a stunning arched tile shower and classic pedestal sink.

Step outside to your own private retreat—an entertainer’s paradise with a covered back porch, a plunge pool, a tiki bar, and a walled garden designed for relaxation and gatherings. A one-car garage off the alley offers flexible use and is currently styled as a pool house with a full bathroom—perfect for guests, a studio, or home office.

This historic gem is the ideal blend of character, comfort, and coastal lifestyle—all just minutes from downtown St. Pete. Don’t miss the opportunity to call this slice of paradise your home.
