If new construction doesn't give you the character and energy you seek, but having something tried and true is important, this house could be the one. This Allendale showpiece presents like a featured spread in Architectural Digest and is a rare offering in St. Petersburg's arguably most sought-after neighborhood, prized for its high elevation and close connection to vibrant downtown St. Pete. Beautifully updated and impeccably designed, this three-bedroom, three-bath pool home welcomes you with the undeniable wow factor of a soaring living room ceiling, abundant natural light, and striking gallery-style wall space ideal for creatives and art enthusiasts. The expansive picture windows provide a captivating view of the lagoon-style pool, framed by abundant Florida-native landscaping, tropical foliage, and mood-setting landscape lighting that transforms the home into an evening retreat.The interior seamlessly flows to the outdoors, creating a residence that is at once both intimate and expansive. The living room and dining room are generous enough for large-scale entertaining, yet suited to intimate seating for everyday living. The large kitchen serves as both a functional centerpiece and a design statement, appointed with Brazilian quartzite countertops subtly flecked with natural garnets that shimmer beautifully in the light. All bedrooms are well proportioned, with the master suite, privately situated upstairs, features a roof deck overlooking the pool and the lush gardens below.This top to bottom remodel was executed with an uncompromising eye for quality and craftsmanship. The renovated baths include one crowned with Starry Night marble sourced from France and another featuring Spanish tile. White porcelain tile floors ground the home with a refined, modern aesthetic. The open staircase and upstairs hallway were completely rebuilt using quarter-sawn white oak from Bethesda, Maryland-adding warmth, durability, and architectural character. Additional upgrades include an updated kitchen, upstairs HVAC, updated pool equipment, and a comprehensive landscape overhaul. The caliber of materials and attention to detail truly set this residence apart.
