This Mediterranean Revival estate, often lovingly referred to as the “wedding cake home,” stands as an iconic gem within the historic district of Old Northeast, particularly renowned for its distinctive tobacco leaf stucco exterior. Nestled in a prime location along Beach Drive, the home’s proximity to downtown St. Pete and the picturesque Northshore waterfront park are coveted for those who appreciate both history and convenience. The oversized front porch welcomes guests, while columned ornamental fencing and gates, surrounded by lush tropical landscaping offer a sense of seclusion and charm. The exterior exudes timeless elegance with its meticulously crafted design. Built in 1923 with superior hollow tile construction for PM Murphy (of Schooley-Murphy fame) with design reminiscent of Pompeian days. Step inside, and you’ll find a meticulously renovated interior that seamlessly blends historic charm with modern comfort. The main home spans 2,852 square feet, offering four bedrooms and two and a half baths. The space has been thoughtfully reimagined for contemporary living, featuring a formal living room with fireplace, dining room and spacious family room adjacent to the kitchen. Upstairs, the highlight awaits within the main suite, where a recent complete renovation has transformed the space into a sanctuary. Adorned with Calacatta marble finishes, the stunning new bath and expansive walk-in closet exude luxury. Three additional spacious rooms complete the bedroom space. Outside, an expansive Chicago brick patio sets the stage for gatherings, complete with a custom-built wood-fired Portuguese oven, perfect for hosting lively pizza parties. A detached oversized two-car garage & off street driveway not only provides convenient parking but also includes a versatile guest suite or income-generating rental apartment with its own private entry. This additional living space features a living room, full kitchen, laundry facilities, private bedroom, and full bath. Extensive renovations to modernize the major systems of this home including plumbing, wiring, roof systems, AC (3 new in 2019), drainage, & structural create peace of mind. Enjoy this rare opportunity to own a piece of St. Pete’s rich architectural heritage while enjoying the comforts of contemporary living.
