CHARMING OLD SOUTHEAST!! With it’s many brick streets, hexagonal-block sidewalks, and unique homes with mature tropical vegetation, The Old South East is a designated Artist Enclave District, and is one of the hottest neighborhoods in the entire area. This stunning property is situated less than a block from the pristine waters of Tampa Bay and Lassing Park – known for it’s Bahamian aquamarine color and popular with kitesurfers. Only a 4 minute drive to Downtown St Pete, but you feel like you’re in Key West, this is the one you have been waiting for! You can hear the waves from the front yard as you walk under a Century Oak and into this beautiful 1940’s home. The main living room has a retro-style free standing wood fireplace. The 2-room master and front guest room with a loft, share a modern style bathroom with custom shower. Hardwood floors and ceramic tile are throughout, and there are too many custom features to name – exposed ductwork, European style lighting, solar tubes, skylights and more! The second master suite and laundry opens into the courtyard. A covered outdoor patio has a kitchen with gas grill and generous worktop and a fireplace to stay cozy on winter nights. Relax under the metal roof and enjoy the spa surrounded by mature bamboo and tropical landscaping in the courtyard. Escape to the fully finished “radio room’ which once housed a HAM radio station. The huge garage, which is separately metered, has 3 full bays, includes a 4-post car lift, built in cabinetry, and opens into the rear alley. This could easily be converted to a 2 bedroom apartment for extra income or an inlaw quarters. This is truly a MUST SEE One of a Kind home – lovingly cared for by the same owner for decades. This type of home does not come on the market often, and it will go quickly.
