Nestled in Bayou Bonita, this rare private oasis showcases the brilliance of Mid-Century architecture, designed by the renowned St. Petersburg architect William B. Harvard, Sr. Featured in Atomic Ranch Magazine, the property is situated on a high and dry nearly .75-acre lot along Little Bayou with beautiful water views of Tampa Bay, surrounded by lush Florida gardens. A testament to Harvard's visionary design, this MCM home is thoughtfully renovated to enhance it's architectural elements and seamless indoor/outdoor living concepts. This home did not experience any flooding from past two storms. Original terrazzo floors and newly designed custom walnut kitchen cabinets with handcrafted cabinet pulls that nod to the era. Natural light pours in the 3,260 square feet of expansive living spaces through floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights, accentuating the original concrete block living room dividers and cozy fireplace. The beauty unfolds in the details, evident in the custom birch jalousie vertical blinds in the bedroom, custom pink tile bathroom designed by Walker Zanger, the iconic St. Petersburg hexagon pavers that line the patio with natural Cedar wood fencing. The enormous open living/dining area extends into a tropical paradise surrounding the 18x36 pool. A concrete planter with a large oak tree provides additional seating and evokes a Japanese Zen-like design, offering a tranquil atmosphere and shade for summer days by the pool. The private garden offers peaceful pathways under the gentle sway of Florida palms, a screened-in gazebo for tranquil morning retreats, Saw Palmettos artfully placed throughout, and a fire pit perfect for entertaining and hosting outdoor parties during winter evenings. Explore this hidden sanctuary of Old Florida, offering a unique opportunity to own your haven just outside downtown, with a perfect blend of serenity, modern touches, timeless design, and rich history.
