Welcome to one of the most captivating historic homes in Crescent Lake, one of the most desirable and walkable neighborhoods in St. Petersburg, Florida. Built in 1925, this beautifully preserved Colonial-style residence blends timeless architectural charm with meaningful modern upgrades -- all situated on a lush, landscaped corner lot just steps from Crescent Lake Park and approximately a 15-minute walk to vibrant Downtown St. Petersburg and the iconic St. Pete Pier.
This rare offering includes a total of 3 bedrooms -- 1 bathroom in the main residence plus two private one-bedroom guest apartments above and below the detached garage, creating exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living, income-producing rentals, long-term guests, or a private home office retreat.
Inside the main home, you'll immediately appreciate the authentic 1920s character: a gracious living room with decorative fireplace, built-in bookshelves, exposed beamed ceilings, and engineered hardwood flooring. The sun-drenched downstairs sunroom provides a perfect reading lounge or workspace, while the spacious dining room -- complete with built-in corner hutch -- is ideal for entertaining. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, breakfast bar seating, pantry storage, and warm hardwood flooring.
Upstairs, original pine floors run throughout the hallway and bedrooms. The primary suite offers a walk-in closet plus an additional adjoining sunroom with closet -- ideal for a home office, fitness space, nursery, or potential third bath conversion. Guest bedrooms are generously sized and filled with natural light.
Step outside into your private backyard oasis. The heated saltwater pool with elegant travertine decking (installed 2017) creates a resort-style atmosphere. A spacious entertaining deck flows from the dining room, complemented by a covered pergola for shaded gatherings. A separate fenced area provides ideal storage for kayaks, paddleboards, or a dedicated dog run -- perfect for the active Florida lifestyle.
The detached one-car garage includes two fully independent guest apartments -- a rare and valuable feature in Crescent Lake real estate -- including a private screened porch upstairs. A vinyl privacy fence surrounds the pool and guest quarters, creating both security and seclusion.
