Location AND Charm. Take some time to view this darling 1938 Tudor cottage in the desirable Crescent Lake neighborhood. Located less than one block walk to Crescent Lake Park. This spacious corner lot welcomes you to a three-bedroom, two-bath home that exudes character and warmth! Many renovations and updates over the years have kept this house in excellent condition. They include a new roof, new energy efficient windows, all with beautiful custom wood shutters on the inside, an updated kitchen with granite countertops, single basin sink, recessed, and under cabinet lighting (2012). Huge master bedroom has two large closets, one cedar lined. One full bedroom and bath downstairs. Two HVACs and climate controlled Nest thermostats allow you to maintain desired temperature upstairs and downstairs (2016,2017). Radiant barrier insulation added to the attic in 2008, and new water heater (2017). Exterior painting of the home and garage and remodel of the downstairs bathroom done in 2018. Gorgeous interior details, original to the home, include a built-in dining room cabinet, fireplace, open stairwell banister, (refinished) hardwood floors throughout, and original ceramic tile floors in the bathrooms. The wide arch from the large living room to the dining area creates an open floor plan to design precisely the living spaces that work for you. Loads of beautiful windows allow the natural light to stream in throughout the house. French doors have been added in the dining room, leading to tranquil paver patio and meandering paths within a mature Florida friendly yard that is fed with a well and a mix of drip and spray irrigation. The expansive, fenced, backyard is full of vibrant colors; birds and butterflies visit often. The broad, manicured Live Oak and variety of jasmine provide shade and statement to the front. A highly usable shed adjoins the two-car garage with laundry and loft space for storage. Private parking pad off alley adjacent to garage and plenty off street parking. The home is only a mile or two to any of the downtown hot spots, like St. Pete Pier, Dali, and the ever-growing list of museums and breweries. There is a dedicated bike lane at the end of the street to get around town, and the smart crosswalks make accessing the city safe and comfortable. Get a small city feel by walking to many restaurants and coffee houses on 9th and 4th streets. Even better, you are steps away from Crescent Lake Park, a preserved gem full of wildlife, a spring fed lake and 56 acres of open green space, tennis and pickleball courts, two dog parks, one for small dogs and one for big dogs, a playground, a historic baseball field, and a mile-long sidewalk around the perimeter, perfect for walkers, joggers, and strollers. A great place to meet your friends for social distancing get togethers, picnics, frisbee, catch, football, and plenty of trees for shade to enjoy the fresh air or hang a hammock. Don't miss this absolute treasure!
