Description

Welcome to the magnificent home, nestled in the historic Pink Streets of Saint Petersburg, Florida. In the mid-1920s, visionary developer George Cook set out to create an upscale neighborhood like no other in the city. This is your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a stunning, period-original Dutch Colonial home, built in 1924, reflecting Cook’s grand vision for the Pink Streets. As you step into the grand foyer, you’ll immediately notice the recently refinished original solid oak floors, now boasting a contemporary finish. The expansive 32’ x 15’ living room features a gorgeous wood-burning fireplace, perfect for those occasional chilly Florida nights. To the west, one of two sun-drenched family rooms invites natural light, offering a cozy retreat. Adjacent to the living room, the formal 15’ x 13’ dining room seamlessly connects to the kitchen. On the east side of the home, the second family room, also bathed in sunlight, provides the perfect space for quiet reading or intimate gatherings. The home offers four spacious bedrooms, one of which is currently used as an office. The luxurious 15’ x 20’ primary suite includes an en-suite bath. Two additional bathrooms are located on the second floor, with a convenient half bath on the first floor. In total, the home boasts 3, 724 square feet of air-conditioned living space. The kitchen is ideal for entertaining, with all appliances installed in 2022, except for the high-end Sub-Zero refrigerator-freezer, which dates to 2016. A charming butler’s pantry, featuring seating for two and a brightly lit window, overlooks the spacious three-car garage. The garage itself provides abundant storage, including a loft, while the long driveway accommodates 8-10 vehicles for off-street parking. At the rear of the kitchen, a generous 23’ x 16’ screened porch overlooks a beautiful in-ground pool, built in 2016. Surrounding the pool, a stunning deck creates the perfect setting for a "dolce far niente"—Italian for "the sweetness of doing nothing." This magnificent Dutch Colonial home sits on a lushly landscaped corner lot, spanning approximately 18, 008 square feet (134’ x 133’). Major updates include a brand-new roof (2024) and a recently replaced A/C unit. Additionally, the A/C ducts in the 4’ crawl space were replaced in December 2024.. This extraordinary home offers a timeless blend of historic charm and modern convenience. After exploring the photos and videos, you'll fall in love with this beauty.
