Step into a piece of history in this exquisite 1925, 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath, pool residence, gracefully situated in the coveted Crescent Lake neighborhood of St. Petersburg. Nestled on one of the area’s most picturesque, tree- and Augusta brick-lined streets, this stunning traditional home perfectly balances timeless craftsmanship with thoughtful modern updates. Just a block from Crescent Lake Park, the property sits proudly on a rare double corner lot, offering a lush sense of privacy and space — complete with a sparkling, resort-style pool ideal for entertaining or quiet reflection. COMPLETELY RENOVATED, ALL NEW METAL ROOF, GARAGE SHINGLE ROOF, ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING, RINNAI TANKLESS, PGT WINDOWS & DOORS, HARDIE BOARD SIDING, SOFFITS, FACIA, LIGHTING, LANDSCAPING, FENCING, 2 WELLS, and SOLAR PANELS.
Originally built in the Rio Vista subdivision and moved to its present location by horse in 1934, this remarkable residence carries a century of stories while feeling wholly renewed for contemporary living. The approach sets the tone: a stately stone walkway framed by gas-lit stone pillars leads to an inviting covered porch of cedar tongue & groove walls and mahogany flooring, where warm gas lanterns flicker beside the double-door entry.
Inside, high ceilings, abundant natural light, and exquisite architectural details reveal a home that is both unpretentious and unmistakably beautiful. Every room feels like a peaceful work of art — a seamless blend of preserved history and refined modern design. Gleaming cherry wood floors, recessed LED lighting, 9-inch baseboards, and PGT impact windows flow throughout, reflecting quality and attention to detail at every turn. Original elements have been masterfully restored or reimagined with reverence for the past and a keen eye for quality. From handcrafted finishes to curated lighting and hardware, every detail reflects the enduring charm of Crescent Lake’s heritage and the ease of elevated, modern living.
The incredible gourmet kitchen is a masterpiece — filled with sunlight from multiple windows and anchored by a marble waterfall island with seating beneath a striking modern chandelier. Thoughtfully designed for both beauty and function, it features a built-in wine refrigerator, marble backsplash, coffee bars, and countertops, along with a porcelain farmhouse sink and GE Café appliances — including a six-burner gas range and pot filler and crowned by a handsome commercial-style range hood. Solid wood cabinetry with roll-out drawers and soft-close features rise to the 12-foot ceilings, while the centerpiece of the kitchen — a marble-framed, wood-burning fireplace crowned with its original 1925 mantle — pays homage to the home’s heritage.
Just off the kitchen, a spacious scullery/laundry room continue the theme of elegance and practicality with marble countertops, custom solid wood cabinetry, pantry closets, a porcelain farmhouse sink, marble backsplash, and Electrolux front-loading washer and dryer. Two large windows fill the space with light and overlook the peaceful backyard.
The open, flowing floor plan connects formal and informal living spaces, creating an ideal setting for both intimate gatherings and grand entertaining. The sun-filled dining room, surrounded by windows on three sides and accented with shiplap clad walls and vaulted ceiling, built in coffee/tea station, and modern light fixture mirroring the kitchen lighting, and complemented by a built-in coffee bar, flows seamlessly into the kitchen and great room for effortless entertaining.
Step down from the kitchen into the inviting great room, where two sets of sliding glass doors open to the outdoor paver pool deck and generous entertainment areas — creating a natural extension of the home’s warm and sophisticated charm.
The primary suite, located on the main floor, is a spa-like retreat featuring a cozy study with large windows and a graceful cove ceiling that flows into the spacious bedroom. Here, high ceilings, exposed wood beams, elegant wall sconces and rich finishes create a serene and elegant atmosphere. Two large walk-in closets offer abundant storage, and a hallway between them features a door that opens directly to the backyard and pool, blending indoor comfort with outdoor tranquility.
The primary en suite bath is a true showpiece — an indulgent blend of luxury and design. It features a Duravit soaking tub, dual sinks, and an exposed beam ceiling that adds architectural interest. Frosted Saarto glass doors, marble floors and backsplash pair beautifully with granite countertops and solid cherrywood cabinetry, while a smart mirror, Duravit toilet, and walk in glass-enclosed shower with Grohe fixtures and rain head bring modern sophistication. A teak wood shower seat and towel warmer complete the experience, creating a refined spa ambiance within the comfort of home.
Upstairs, the 2nd floor of the home features an all original, hardwood staircase and wood flooring. Bedroom #2 is light and bright with windows facing the back yard, and a custom walk-in closet with built-in dresser drawers and a granite countertop. The 3rd bedroom has large windows overlooking the front yard, the 4th bedroom offers thoughtful design touches including shaker-style wall accents, elegant crown molding, and a walk-in closet outfitted with built-in dresser drawers topped in granite, along with attractive wood trim framing the windows. The second and third bedrooms share a beautifully updated hall bathroom featuring dual sinks, leathered granite countertops, tile flooring, and custom mahogany detailing around the mirror, door, window, and shower threshold. The glass-enclosed shower showcases stylish tilework, a frosted privacy window, rain head and handheld fixtures, a Bluetooth ventilation fan, and well-crafted cabinetry with ample built-in storage.
The fourth bedroom provides excellent flexibility — ideal as a private guest suite or a second primary bedroom. Generous in size, it features shaker panel accents, large windows, crown molding, and another walk-in closet with built-in drawers and granite surfaces. Its en suite bath feels elevated and serene, accessed through double doors and highlighted by a mahogany-trimmed skylight that fills the space with natural light. A sleek Swiss Madison sink pairs beautifully with tile finishes and a glass shower equipped with both rain head and handheld options, creating a stylish retreat for guests or family alike.
Designed for relaxation and unforgettable gatherings, the outdoor living spaces are a true extension of the home’s warm, refined character. The expansive backyard is newly enclosed with a wood privacy fence, lined with Clusia hedges and Buttonwood trees, creating a secluded haven for both quiet mornings and lively evenings under the stars. A sparkling pool invites you in with its generous sun shelf — perfect for lounging in the cool water on a sunny Florida afternoon — while the surrounding paver deck offers ample room for chaise seating and sunbathing.
Multiple paver patios provide flexible areas for dining al fresco, hosting weekend barbecues, or simply unwinding with friends. Lush landscaping frames the yard with stately palm trees, mature shade trees, and a wide expanse of green lawn ideal for pets, play, and garden hobbies.
At the rear of the property, the oversized, detached, two-car garage offers convenient alley access, additional space for a workshop, and an attached gated area that accommodates even more storage — perfectly suited for bikes, paddleboards, kayaks, or gardening tools.
This backyard sanctuary delivers the best of Florida living: beauty, privacy, and the space to truly enjoy life both indoors and out.
