One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Step into a piece of St. Petersburg history with this enchanting 1925 Spanish/Mediterranean-style estate, nestled in the highly desirable Crescent Lake neighborhood. Situated on 2½ expansive lots and offering 5,320 square feet of beautifully restored and thoughtfully updated living space, this elegant residence includes a grand main home, guest quarters, a spacious three-car garage, and a lush private pool retreat—all tucked behind a beautifully crafted privacy wall.
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. Every inch of this home reflects the craftsmanship and style of its time—arched doorways, refinished original wood doors, antique hardware, mosaic tile, and period-specific lighting preserve the elegance of the 1920s while seamlessly blending with modern conveniences.
A meticulous renovation in 2008 brought the home into the 21st century without compromising its original soul. Upgrades include new plumbing and wiring, Pella impact windows, and a chef’s kitchen with high-end appliances, custom wood cabinetry, butcher block island, hammered copper sink, and Egyptian marble countertops. Ideal for entertaining, the main living areas flow effortlessly from room to room and open to the private, tranquil courtyard and pool area. 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.
