Description

A must-see mid-century modern beauty with European flair located in coveted Snell Isle, St. Petersburg, FL. No damage or flooding occurred at this residence during Hurricane Helene or Milton. Elevated with inflections of Art Nouveau design, this open-concept main home features gleaming Oak hardwood floors, a stately front approach with foyer, decorative fireplace anchoring the large living space, modern kitchen providing scenic views to the courtyard pool and two bedrooms, each with their own en-suite bathroom. For those that host frequent guests, house a multi-generational family member, or simply want to benefit from rental income while still honoring privacy, the rear casita provides just that. Complete with an additional bedroom and en-suite full bath, mini-split for cooling and adjacent laundry room, guests or residents will adore their separate quarters. Between the home and casita lies a tranquil pool and hot tub surrounded by lush landscaping and a courtyard with decorative artisan tiles adding a touch of whimsy to this tropical space. Located among multi-million dollar estates, this single-level home is a hidden gem. Elevated on a crawl space, the home has been lovingly cared for by the same owners for 40 years. A labor of love has gone into the gorgeous landscaping with native Florida plantings and nooks for orchids and tropicals. Fundamental updates to benefit the new owner also include a brand new solar hot water system, updated AC within the past 5 years, updated electrical panel in 2024 and roof installed in 2016. Love the great outdoors? You can’t find a better location. Walk along the water, play tennis or sand volleyball by the sea, drive the golf cart to a festival or dinner in Downtown St. Pete. Sugar-sand beaches are only 25 minutes away and a quick commute to two international airports.
