Imagine walking into this charming Mediterranean home, built in 1925 and fully restored to today's standard, situated within a stunning 360-degree garden. You could just move in and immediately start enjoying the Florida lifestyle! We don't find that often. The kitchen will delight the chef in you and the custom kitchen cabinetry will make your friends "green" with envy. From the Miele steamer oven and built-in coffee/espresso maker, wine refrigerator and Sub Zero refrigerator, to the extra large island including more cabinets for storage, this kitchen is packed with all the things we love! The dining area opens with double doors onto the back patio- great for entertaining-with plenty of seating and surrounded by lush plantings. Passing through the dining area into the living room, you are greeted with a historical brick fireplace updated with gas logs; the large space allows for several seating arrangements and opens onto the atrium. LOOK above... al fresco painted dome with a beautiful mermaid, and sun-filled wall of windows ... this may become your favorite room! Upstairs, the master suite with private balcony, and a second bedroom, currently used for a home office. Let's not overlook the backyard Spanish Casita; 1 bed/1 bath, just the right size for your Northern guests! Located on 18th Ave NE just a couple blocks off Beach Drive & walkable to downtown St Petersburg.
