This large family home located in the neighborhood of Allendale is situated atop one of the highest elevation points in St. Petersburg. It offers a quiet historic neighborhood with easy access to downtown. The original home was designed by William B. Harvard inspired by the works of Frank Lloyd Wright. This Prairie/Craftsman style house has recently been expanded to include: handicapped accessibility, a large cantilevered parking area, a quiet living room/library and a master bed room suite. All updates were designed focusing on storm safety, energy efficiency, and cutting-edge solar technology while uniquely featuring the first solar-powered whole house backup battery in Pinellas County. The front door entrance reveals a small breakfast room to the right and to the left a large formal dining room with a fireplace. From here to the south is the large Living Room/Library, while to the north is a family room/theater overlooking the pool At the far west end of the house is a private suite with a second fireplace and a full bath, perfect for use as an office or bedroom. The all new updated kitchen includes two copper sinks and top of the line appliances including a Wolf Electric Cooktop. The second floor reveals five bedrooms, a bonus room with an attached laundry room, and the Master Bed Room Suite with a custom-designed, walk-in closet, an equally spacious bathroom, and an outdoor balcony overlooking the pool. Recent upgrades include a new roof, and updated, newly installed, code compliant electric and plumbing connections. Of greatest importance, however, is the fact that the whole house solar battery reduces everyday utility bills and maintains essential power by recharging to 100% the next day even while the Duke Electrical Grid is down. No flood insurance required and very low home owners insurance due to high impact/hurricane windows throughout the house, new roof, newer AC and heater, block home.
