OPEN HOUSE HAS BEEN CANCELLED FOR 04/03. This 1925 Prairie-style pool home is situated on a corner lot with off-street parking and boasts 4 bedrooms and 2 ¾ baths throughout with just over 3,000 SqFt in the primary house and offers a 1 bed/1 bath fully updated apartment above the detached 2 car garage. Begin your journey through this perfectly preserved historic residential art piece by passing by the regal lions fronting stately columns on either side of the main entrance leading onto the generous open-air porch. Take a seat on the porch swing and take in the beautiful neighborhood views and enjoyable Florida weather before heading into a world of timeless charm. Historical and artistic architectural details adorn the house throughout, from the hollow-clay tile exterior, polished heart pine flooring, decorative period tile, to the oversized living room with a Craftsman-style gas fireplace in a quaint alcove with built-in benches, bath with clawfoot tub and butler's staircase to name a few. Numerous windows in every room allow for plenty of natural light throughout the day, especially in the sunrooms found off the living and master bedrooms when you're craving a little extra Florida sunshine. The kitchen is updated with a gas stove, dishwasher and plenty of counter space, while still maintaining a classic, stylish vibe that can be felt from the black and white tiled countertops to the retro pink fridge and an adjoining breakfast room. A small bedroom and 3/4 bath are just off the kitchen with easy access to the butler's staircase. From the living room head up the main staircase with iron railings to find an additional 3 bedrooms, 2 of which have walk-in closets. Heading back downstairs, you can either take the main stairs in the front of the house or the previously mentioned butler's stairs that can be found towards the rear of the house. Butler's stairs were originally designed so that the children or residents could easily go from the downstairs to the upstairs quarters without disturbing any guests on the main floor; yet another amazing story-telling feature this deep-rooted residence has to offer. Before heading outback, other notable features of the main house include an inside laundry room for modern convenience and a small basement for that extra storage we all seem to need but never have. Heading out the back of the main house through a small screened-in rear porch to a spacious and beautifully landscaped backyard with a heated saltwater pool and hot tub. Ornate iron fencing accents the exterior, adding a flair of grandeur to this already spectacular home. Across the lush landscaping and exceptional backyard is the detached 2 car garage with a wonderfully updated 1 bed/1 bath apartment above that can be rented out for additional income, or could serve as an ideal mother-in-law suite, teenager wing, detached office space, or whatever ideal separate space works for your lifestyle. This home is located in lovely Euclid St. Paul, which was listed as the #1 place to live and the #3 place to raise a family in Pinellas County by Niche magazine. This home does NOT require flood insurance and is within walking distance to the serene, yet active, Crescent Lake Park, and is just a quick bike ride to all the restaurants, bars, shopping, museums, sports, downtown waterfront, and more that our vibrant downtown has to offer.
