Under contract-accepting backup offers. Welcome to Buttercup Cottage, a charming 1942 bungalow situated in St. Petersburg’s beautiful Old Northeast neighborhood. The location is highly desirable, just steps from Coffee Pot Park where miles of waterfront sidewalks wind through several parks to downtown St. Pete. Excellent restaurants and five grocery stores are within minutes (Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Fresh Market and two Publix stores), and Central Avenue, downtown shops, restaurants, museums, theaters and amenities are all nearby. Brimming with character, this home features original oak hardwood floors, original solid wood interior doors, plantation shutters, cove ceilings and arched entranceways that create a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. A sunroom doubles as a bright-and-cozy home office, perfect for enjoying the serene landscape and street views while you work or relax with a good book. Living and dining rooms flow seamlessly to the cottage-style kitchen, which offers extensive storage, Shaker-style cabinetry, granite countertops and a natural gas range. Here, a French door provides natural light and convenient access to the fenced backyard. This move-in ready home offers three comfortable and sunny bedrooms and a generously sized full bathroom with beautiful travertine stone tile, a large vanity and plenty of storage. Outside, both front and back yards feature lush, Florida-friendly landscaping – kept vibrant and low-maintenance with a seven-zone sprinkler system that runs off a well. A spacious backyard patio offers the perfect place for entertaining and relaxing. The detached 20'x20' garage has room for a car, plus a workbench and storage space, and an adjacent carport offers a covered parking space. Both the garage and carport are accessible from a paved alley. This home has never flooded and experienced no damage during the 2024 storm season. An elevation certificate and low flood insurance premiums $904/yr are available. Providing added security, the home’s roof was new in 2022, and there is a drywood termite warranty.
