Under contract-accepting backup offers. Located on a picturesque brick-lined street in Crescent Heights, this Colonial-style home sits on a rare 75' x 127' lot. From the moment you walk in, you'll appreciate the timelessness that makes these homes so special - beautiful hardwood floors, a gas-burning fireplace, custom built-ins, plantation shutters, and spaces that simply feel warm and inviting. The formal dining room flows into the spacious living area, making it ideal for entertaining and everyday life. The kitchen offers both island seating and a cozy breakfast nook, while one of the most practical features of the home is a first-floor bedroom and full bathroom. Upstairs, you'll find a spacious loft that functions as a second living area, playroom, media room, or flex space, along with a generously sized primary suite featuring a renovated en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. Step outside and you'll quickly understand why homes like this rarely come available. The backyard feels like your own private retreat with a beautiful pool, expansive paver deck, mature landscaping, and plenty of green space left over for kids, pets, gardening, or simply enjoying the outdoors. It's increasingly hard to find this kind of lot size and usable yard space this close to downtown St. Pete. Adding even more flexibility is the detached oversized garage with epoxy floors, alley access, room for boat parking, and a separate bonus room that's ideal for a home office, gym, studio, or hobby space. Recent improvements include a new roof (2023), new HVAC system (2022), tankless water heater, updated pool equipment, and the garage/office addition completed in 2017. All of this is just minutes from downtown St. Pete, Crescent Lake Park, Coffee Pot Bayou, Trader Joe's, Fresh Market, Rollin' Oats, and the restaurants, breweries, and shops of the Grand Central District. Best of all, it's located outside of a flood zone, meaning no flood insurance is required. This is the kind of Crescent Heights property buyers wait for-character, space, a pool, a detached office, and a lot size that's becoming harder and harder to find.
