NOTHING compares to this gorgeous and charming 1920's bungalow home in desirable Magnolia Heights. The moment you walk into THE most adorable house in the neighborhood, you'll fall in love and never want to leave again. This home is truly special, boasting unique character and details original to the 1920's era, combined with modern updates for ultimate comfort. If you are looking for “same old same old” it might not be for you. The open and airy living/dining area is literally flooded with natural light from walls of windows that provide lovely views of the landscaping and large corner lot. Enjoy the sunrise and your morning coffee under the front veranda or spend cozy nights on the couch by the ambiance of the rare, wood-burning fireplace.
There is a gabled “loft” bonus room on the second floor that gives the feel of being in a tree house and is currently used as a guest bedroom, but it could easily be used as an office or sitting area, crafts room, play room or meditation room…just use your imagination!
The master bedroom has plenty of natural light, room for a king-size and features a large custom walk-in closet. The updated bright, white kitchen has tons of cabinet space, and the freshly updated sunny bathroom has ceramic tile flooring and natural light from a frosted window that allows you to enjoy a late afternoon shower while basking in the streaming sunlight. The guestroom on the lower level hosts a convenient laundry area and features ceramic flooring and the original carriage house/garage doors from the 1920's. Like to entertain? Well throw open the double doors to expand the space for your party under the car port! The property features an adorable, easy-to-maintain, private backyard setting with tropical landscaping and a vinyl privacy fence, allowing you to retreat to the gazebo and paver patio to enjoy a BBQ and evening glass of wine. This home is move-in ready and boasts a roof, vinyl siding, paver driveway, washer/dryer and central A/C that have all been installed within the past 3 years! For your peace of mind, the house was tented for termites in 2018 and has a transferable warranty for sub-terranean termites. Because it is super insulated, you'll also enjoy super low electric bills averaging around $70/month. Trash, septic and water average just $80/month. NO FLOOD insurance needed! Your new home is situated in a lovely, peaceful, and diverse historic neighborhood that is centrally located and provides all the best that Saint Petersburg has to offer. You'll be within walking distance to multiple parks and restaurants, biking distance to Coffee Pot Bayou, where you can watch the manatees, and Crescent Lake Park with its large and biodiverse bird population. All this and just a quick drive to downtown and you'll be in the heart of the countless restaurants, bars, shopping, museums, music venues, the pier and waterparks. AND you'll be only a short drive to award-winning wide, white sandy beaches that invite you to relax in the sun, fish, boat, dolphin-watch, linger for a long walk and end your day with a spectacular sunset. Less than two miles to I-275, you'll have an easy commute via Howard Frankland or Gandy to Tampa. Just 10 minutes to St. Pete/CW airport, 20 minutes to Tampa International! This property is the definition of “Pride of Ownership,” and there is nothing else like it on the market. You can also see our virtual 3D tour at https://tours.mike-cartwright.com/1629333?idx=1
