This large family home located in the neighborhood of Allendale is situated atop one of the highest elevation points in St. Petersburg. It offers a quiet historic neighborhood with easy access to downtown. The original home was designed by William B. Harvard inspired by the works of Frank Lloyd Wright. This Prairie/Craftsman style house has recently been expanded to include: handicapped accessibility, a large cantilevered parking area, a quiet living room/library and a master bed room suite. All updates were designed focusing on storm safety, energy efficiency, and cutting-edge solar technology while uniquely featuring the first solar-powered whole house backup battery in Pinellas County.The front door entrance reveals a small breakfast room to the right and to the left a large formal dining room with a fireplace. From here to the south is the large Living Room/Library, while to the north is a family room/theater overlooking the pool At the far west end of the house is a private suite with a second fireplace and a full bath, perfect for use as an office or bedroom. The all new updated kitchen includes two copper sinks and top of the line appliances including a Wolf Electric Cooktop. The second floor reveals five bedrooms, a bonus room with an attached laundry room, and the Master Bed Room Suite with a custom-designed, walk-in closet, an equally spacious bathroom, and an outdoorbalcony overlooking the pool.Recent upgrades include a new roof, and updated, newly installed, code compliant electric and plumbing connections.
