Built during the same golden era as the iconic Vinoy Hotel, this architectural masterpiece features a Spanish tile roof, wrought iron balconies, Mayan tile accents, and extensive pecky cypress ceilings and beams. Manicured landscaping, a peaceful courtyard with a Mayan-tiled fountain, and a shaded veranda set the stage for what awaits inside.

The main floor consists of formal dining room, kitchen, informal breakfast room, library, a spacious bedroom with en suite bath and two 1/2 baths. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite offers a peaceful escape with a pecky cypress and tile balcony, a spa-like bath with dual copper sinks, soaking tub, oversized shower with rain head and body jets, and a custom dressing room with granite island and extensive storage. Two additional upstairs suites provide private comfort for family or guests. The detached guest quarters, just steps from the pool and main house, offer two private entrances and include a bedroom, living space, and full bath—all under air-making it ideal for guests or office space. The oversized three-car garage is equipped with hurricane-rated doors, and openers with direct access to the main home via the utility entry. Surrounded by flowering gardens, swaying palms, and glowing landscape lighting, the backyard is a true tropical escape. The heated pool, brick paver patio, and outdoor dining areas create the perfect setting for both relaxation and entertaining. This home feels truly enchanting and magical! Located just two blocks from Crescent Lake Park and minutes to downtown St. Pete’s shops, restaurants, and waterfront attractions, this home combines the best of historic charm and luxurious modern living—without the need for flood insurance.
