755 25th Avenue NSt Petersburg, FL 33704Sale Price: $897,000

Welcome home to a beautiful mid-century block home nestled in the center of Crescent Heights one of St. Petersburg's loveliest neighborhoods! Original features meet modern upgrades from the front to the back door. The house was redesigned to entertain and is loaded with windows that provide lots of natural light. The main level of the home has arched doorways and original golden oak flooring in the front living room and two downstairs bedrooms. The downstairs bathroom has the original pink wall tile and deco tub, with new pedestal sink and toilet. The eat-in kitchen has wood cabinetry, cork flooring, butcher block countertops with a deep baker's sink, stainless steel appliances (Dual-fuel stove with two ovens, dishwasher, and a new French Door refrigerator), and a breakfast bar that's shared with the step-down, expansive dining room with sunroom/office (which looks out onto a lovely live oak tree) and a centrally-located, European-style laundry area. The cork flooring continues to a huge sunken family room with raised ceilings where afternoon light is filtered by neighboring oaks. A spiral staircase sits on the east side of the room, leading upstairs. On the west side of the room, French doors open up to the outside where a pavered patio wraps around the back of the home and a meandering walkway provides access to the alley. The large backyard features native landscaping and fruiting trees, with lots of open space available for a custom pool; a well-placed 220v electric outlet on the patio. Upstairs, what once was a separate apartment (with its own “½” address) was integrated into the single family home, where you'll find more original oak flooring, an additional master bedroom with original powder-blue-tiled ensuite bathroom, another open living area (perfect for an office, yoga studio, or tv room), and a kitchenette. There is a separate entrance to the upstairs from outside, and the property retains a separate electric meter. The property could be converted back to a multi-unit property, or a home-based business could have a separate business address. Some of the newest updates (2021/2022) include freshly painted interior and exterior, board-on-board wood privacy fence with three access gates, gutters, tankless gas water heater, refrigerator and range hood; other important updates include a multi-dimensional shingle roof and flat roof, and dual zone HVAC. The home was fumigated in 2021, and a five-year transferable termite warranty is included in the sale. Don't miss out on this amazing home and fantastic location! Walk to Trader Joe's and Fresh Market for your groceries; to Blush and Neighborhood Joe to meet a friend for tea or coffee; to Le Segunda for your Cuban bakery treats… and that's just the beginning of what's nearby. Crescent Lake Park is a short walk away, with its playground, small and large dog parks, recreation trails, and tennis courts. Downtown is only minutes away, where you'll find world-class museums, art galleries, dining experiences, baseball, and soccer. Tampa Bay is just blocks away, where you'll find access to water sports and boat ramps (Coffee Pot Bayou is at the end of the street). The beautiful Gulf Coast beaches are a quick car-ride away, and interstate access is close by. The location can't be beat, and Crescent Heights sits high in a non-flood zone - where flood insurance is not required. This home and location won't disappoint; schedule your viewing today.
