You can live the quintessential St. Petersburg lifestyle in this beautifully renovated four-bedroom, three-bath Spanish Revival home, which also includes a bonus of two income-producing apartments – added in 2016. This is a house with an extraordinary presence; it is a pillar of the St. Petersburg community and is often referred to as the "Little Alamo." The house has been flawlessly maintained and exudes a sense of warmth and intimacy as the owners have paid special attention to "period" correct decorative details. Once you enter the enclosed foyer, you'll notice architectural details such as a key cut window to your left and the ripple of the original glass-paned domed front door. You immediately feel how each room is bright and full of light. An attentive visitor will note the lack of modern gadgetry; the homeowners have carefully concealed all electronics throughout the home. For example, the living room features a painted framed art scene that flips around to become a flat screen television. There is also a beautiful wood-burning fireplace. Move into the oversized dining room, the ideal space for family gatherings, with French doors at one end and the other end leads to the heart of the home - the kitchen. The solid cherry wood cabinets have been carefully glazed with a beautiful creme enamel and the hardware was specifically made for the homeowners of solid brass with a 24k gold finish by Classic Brass. The appliance package is truly out of this world, or at least out of this country, as the ILVE Majestic dual fuel range was handcrafted in Italy and custom-painted to match the kitchen cabinets and features solid brass appointments. Additionally, the built-in refrigerator and dishwasher are concealed with custom panels and are fully integrated. The solid brass oversized kitchen sink is stunning in its appearance. The coordinated window seat and stage-coach shades are both elegant and functional. Rounding out the downstairs is a guest suite with an en-suite bath. Moving upstairs, you will find yourself atop a fabulous custom-made runner with each step featuring a solid brass stair rod. The oversized primary suite features a marble detailed master bath, walk-in closet and access to the outdoor veranda. The second-floor level also boasts two additional bedrooms with walk-in closets and one oversized bath. The home has been completely rewired with new electrical, as well as new impact glass windows in 2015. Both guest apartments can be used as long-term rentals, offices or additional living space for in-laws or adult family members. This property is dual zoned residential-commercial.
