Under contract-accepting backup offers. As the quintessential designer of classic American and coastal interiors, Bunny Williams once said, “Luxury is when something works perfectly.” And this is it. One of my absolute favorite homes in the Old Northeast, hands down. Just one house from North Shore Park and the sparkling waters of Tampa Bay, this Mediterranean beauty feels straight out of the Hamptons, Harbour Island, or classic Palm Beach—timeless, tailored, and impossibly chic. Beautifully renovated to honor its historic soul while living effortlessly today, the home has been thoughtfully designed as a true sanctuary, where indoor and outdoor living blend seamlessly and intentionally. The main residence offers three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, rich hardwood floors, multiple fireplaces, and expansive covered porches on both the first and second floors. French doors open to a private backyard with a heated saltwater lap pool so perfect for quiet mornings, relaxed afternoons, or cocktail-hour entertaining. These are the kind of architectural details that simply cannot be recreated. Upstairs, the light-filled primary suite is serene and spacious, featuring its own fireplace and additional space ideal for a sitting area or home office. Two guest bedrooms complete the second level. Over the detached two-car garage, a fully renovated studio apartment with kitchen and bath provides exceptional flexibility ideal for guests, income potential, or the chicest home office imaginable. Located on 17th Avenue NE along with neighboring 18th and 19th Avenues, considered the jewels of the Old Northeast, this quiet, palm-tree-lined enclave offers effortless access to downtown St. Petersburg, waterfront parks, restaurants, coffee shops, and the Saturday Morning Market. It’s entirely possible to spend the entire weekend without ever getting in the car. The surrounding neighborhood blends century-old homes with newer construction on oversized lots, creating one of the most spacious and least crowded areas in Old Northeast. Notably, this home experienced zero water intrusion. Classic. Coastal. Effortlessly elegant. This is Old Northeast at its very best—a winner in every way.
