161 15th Avenue Saint Petersburg Florida | Real Estate for Sale

Enter your private world inside this thoughtfully crafted home in the charming Old Northeast neighborhood. The unique layout of the rooms extends far beyond the footprint size as the flow from the entry library space carries you toward the formal living/dining areas, but also to the casual den, which lies at the heart of the home. An expansive connection between the den and the adjacent kitchen blends seamlessly with wood cedar beams, coffered ceiling, indirect lighting and a warm modern wall covering treatment throughout. This is where you will live, cooking meals, watching movies or just relaxing with friends. The kitchen is planned with the cook in mind, appliances artfully placed to accommodate one or a group of friends. KitchenAid appliances and a gas Kucht stove, a bar with wine cooler and glass cabinetry, pantry with ample shelving and drawers, and a center island for food prep or a simple dinner at home. At one end of the room is a hidden full-size stack washer/dryer and utility closet, bringing all the chores to your fingertips. A glass slider carries you outside to a landscaped brick courtyard designed to extend the entertaining experience beyond the home. Think Tuscan villa throughout, with the inside and outside spaces reflecting this genre. Especially in the formal dining room positioned off the living room, with exposed wood ceiling, plaster and lath walls, seagrass floor covering and matchstick blinds. This room doubles as a study where you will watch the neighborhood life roll past the windows. The primary suite is privately situated away from the entertaining areas with direct access to the well-planned bath with large shower, double vanity and offers passage to the second outdoor space. This too is private and surrounded by tall trees, and the old brick terrace and heated swimming pool with fountain will have you looking forward to a midnight swim. The second bedroom suite is accessed from the den and is ideal for the overnight guest with a king-sized Murphy bed, exercise room or even an office. The connected bath is spacious and tastefully appointed. The home was envisioned to be seamlessly maintained with extensive landscape lighting utilizing automated time devices, a micro irrigation system, also automatically controlled, and landscaped/hardscaped surfaces balanced for easy living. A tankless water heater is always working for you with no energy waste while away. A wonderful place for a full-time family or seasonal visitor, the home is planned with you in mind.
