Unveiling a slice of “Old Florida” charm, nestled in the heart of Snell Isle! This captivating 3-bedroom, 3-bath beauty, constructed in 1951, has been lovingly updated and expanded to seamlessly blend classic elegance with contemporary finesse. In 2014, it underwent a full transformation, modernizing every corner while preserving its historical allure. The pinnacle of this renovation was the master retreat addition in 2017, echoing the home’s signature design and attention to detail. The heart of the house flaunts an expansive open layout crafted with entertainers in mind. Bask in the warmth of a wood-burning fireplace, dance beneath the high ceilings, or glide over polished wood floors, all illuminated by dimmable LED lighting. Dinner parties? The dual entertainment areas converge around a grand 10-seater dining table, crowned with a dazzling prism chandelier. The culinary enthusiast will relish the generous chef’s kitchen: flaunting a sprawling island, comfy under-counter seating, pristine quartz countertops, artisanal cabinets, a double oven (with a warming drawer), and a chic wine cooler. Enjoy sun-dappled breakfasts in a cozy nook that embraces the morning’s first rays. Craftsmanship shines throughout, from TIMBERLAND doors adorned with Baldwin hardware to the original diamond-patterned terrazzo floors that grace the bedrooms. Each bathroom whispers luxury, from marble underfoot to custom tile and woodwork. The transformation also introduced a convenient laundry room, expanding the interior space. An Ultra Seam metal roof system ensures longevity, while urethane foam insulation promises superior thermal performance over traditional options. For peace of mind, the home features hurricane-impact rated Neuma Hydroshield doors and Swinco insulated windows. Externally, a quaint covered porch peers over a circular driveway, landscaped to perfection by the acclaimed Margaret Moore. The secluded rear patio is a serene retreat with room for a pool. Immerse yourself in the Snell Isle enchantment: tropical vibes, picturesque waterways, and inviting walking/biking paths. Just a stone’s throw from vibrant downtown St. Petersburg, you’re minutes from gourmet dining, intriguing museums, and lively entertainment. Welcome to the Snell Isle lifestyle you’ve been dreaming of!
