Preservation Award Winner 2025 by Preserve the Burg! Great opportunity to own a beautifully restored home where 100 year period charm meets hurricane standards! **Step into a piece of St. Petersburg's storied past with this remarkable 1924 home nestled within the prestigious Historic Old Northeast neighborhood.** Seamlessly merging historical charm with contemporary comforts, this residence offers a singular opportunity to own a slice of the city's significant heritage. This property witnessed pivotal moments in the development of St. Petersburg’s history, once serving as the dwelling of Babe Ruth in 1935 (Tampa Bay Times) and boasting a connection to George Gandy Sr., famed builder of Gandy Bridge. The restoration project by Maureen Stafford honors the original scale and charm of this Craftsman Bungalow, while artfully blending modern living with authentic period details and structural reinforcements. Surrounded by tropical and formal gardens on well laid out grounds, the home offers a serene outdoor oasis with a large, newly restored pool and covered loggia with an outdoor fireplace in the heart of the city. Located in Historic Old Northeast, renowned for its tree-lined brick streets, granite curbs and grand homes, and rare collection of Craftsman Bungalows, the property offers a peaceful setting while remaining conveniently close to downtown restaurants and cultural attractions. With its blend of historical significance, architectural authenticity, and modern updates, this home presents a truly exceptional opportunity. This special, restored gem offers three bedrooms with ensuite baths (one of which could function as a combination den/office/guest suite), a spacious modern kitchen, a dining room and living room with fireplace and vaulted ceilings offering a casual entertaining space. Plenty of parking on the 5 car parking pad with alley access. Should you desire a garage with an ADU above, renderings and a site plan are available to begin the process to take to an architect for construction drawings. Schedule a private showing today to experience this restored home, just five blocks from the waterfront for recreation and an easy walk or bike ride to vibrant downtown St. Pete, where restaurants, shopping, and the arts await!
